If New York sophistication checked into a five-star countryside hotel for the weekend, it would probably look a lot like The Windsor Brasserie.

The hotly anticipated new opening at ultra-luxe Fairmont Windsor Park is officially open for business, bringing a seductive mix of opulence, social buzz and elevated dining to Windsor. Wrapped in moody lighting, gorgeous banquette seating, and slick speakeasy-style interiors, it’s elevated dining minus the stiffness. At the heart of the restaurant sits a striking statement bar, giving the entire space a glamorous, after-dark energy, while social tables and open-kitchen theatrics keep the atmosphere lively from lunch right through to late evening.

The menu champions ingredient-led modern European cooking with plenty of flair. Start at the Raw Bar before moving onto signature grills or the standout crab and lobster pasta which sound, quite honestly, to die for. Desserts are equally indulgent (the Windsor Sundae has our name all over it). With a refined cocktail programme, cracking wine list and all-day dining concept, The Windsor Brasserie feels polished, playful and perfectly pitched for celebratory dinners, stylish date nights and long, lazy lunches alike.

Windsor’s coolest new dining destination? Quite possibly. But it definitely won’t stay under-the-radar for long.
