The Book Story of D&D

THE BOOK STORY OF D&D

D&D was founded in 2006 by Des Gunewardena and David Loewi (the eponymous D and D) following a buyout of Conran Restaurants, which itself was established back in 1991.

The company was already central to London’s restaurant scene, owning some of the capital’s most celebrated restaurants, such as Le Pont de la Tour and City favourite Coq d’Argent.

A PERSONAL NOTE

Whether it’s in running a restaurant or a hotel, or in organising a corporate party or wedding, our philosophy is simple. We aim to be the best, and to deliver an enjoyable and memorable experience. In order to do this we believe that each of our venues must have its own personality. From iconic large restaurants like Bluebird and Quaglino’s to smaller Michelin-starred venues like Angler and Launceston Place, our managers and chefs enjoy independence in how they run their businesses. We believe this shows. And, whether you are from London, elsewhere in the UK, or from overseas, we hope you enjoy our restaurants and hotels as much as we do. Welcome to D&D London.

Des Gunewardena, Chairman & CEO of D&D London David Loewi, MD of D&D London
