A proper set lunch in Knightsbridge, at a price that makes it an easy habit. ALBA London's set lunch runs Monday to Friday from noon until 4pm - two courses for £32 or three for £39 - in the Amalfi-inspired dining room on Brompton Road, directly opposite Harrods.
What's on the Set Lunch Menu
Every course offers a choice, so the menu suits the day rather than dictating it. Starters run from burrata with heritage tomatoes to a strawberry-and-stracciatella gazpacho, or one of the tartares. Mains move through handmade pasta - the Amalfi Tagliolini, the Ravioli Genovese - alongside dishes such as aubergine parmigiana or roast baby chicken. A rhubarb panna cotta or gelato finishes things off. The set menu is drawn from the same kitchen as the à la carte; only the choice is streamlined, never the standard.
A Set Lunch Opposite Harrods
Knightsbridge keeps a busy diary at lunchtime, and the set lunch is built for it. Shoppers between Harrods and Harvey Nichols, visitors with an afternoon planned, anyone who wants a proper pause rather than a sandwich on the move. The setting is the one that draws guests in the evening - an Amalfi-inspired dining room opposite Harrods, in the heart of Knightsbridge - and the set lunch makes it an everyday pleasure rather than an occasion.
Two Courses or Three, Monday to Friday
The set lunch runs weekdays from 12 to 4pm: two courses for £32, three for £39. The wide window means it works as easily for a late lunch after a morning's shopping as a midday table. Midweek it pairs naturally with a glass from the cellar and an hour taken back.
The set lunch shares its kitchen with the longer business lunch, the vegetarian menu and the full Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge à la carte. Tables go quickly midweek, so book ahead to secure yours, or go straight to the set lunch booking page.
