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 the soup of the day, aubergine parmigiana, tuna tartare or beef carpaccio. Mains move through handmade pasta - the Amalfi Tagliolini with bottarga, the Ravioli Genovese, potato ravioli in butter and sage - alongside roast baby chicken or a fillet of sea bass. A rhubarb panna cotta or gelato finishes things off. The set menu is drawn from the same pass 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 chefs 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.
