Express Lunch in Knightsbridge
A focused set lunch, without the compromise. ALBA London's Express Lunch set menu is built for guests on a schedule: two or three courses of Italian cooking, on Brompton Road opposite Harrods. 2 courses £32, 3 courses £39, Monday to Friday, 12–4pm.
A Focused Lunch That Isn't a Rushed One
The Express Lunch exists because Knightsbridge keeps a busy diary. Shoppers between Harrods and Harvey Nichols, professionals with a midday window, visitors with a matinee to reach. Two or three courses, chosen from a focused set menu, brought promptly by a kitchen that knows the room. The cooking doesn't drop in quality because you're short on time.
What's on the Express Menu
A focused selection from the a la carte: a starter, a choice of pasta or a main, and the option of a dessert. Signatures such as the Amalfi Tagliolini often feature. The courses come at a steady, unhurried pace, so you can order confidently before a meeting or a train.
The express menu shares its kitchen with the longer business lunch, the hand-cut truffle tagliolini, and the vegetarian menu.
