Abc Kitchens at The Emory, led by New York chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, has launched its first festive courtyard in London. Located near Hyde Park, the outdoor area opened this month and offers a themed extension to the restaurant, combining elements from Vongerichten’s New York concepts, Abc Kitchen, AbcV and Abc Cocina.

The space is decorated with lights and winter-themed accessories, providing alfresco dining for the holidays. According to the team, it’s designed as a “charming winter sanctuary” for a relaxed yet refined setting for seasonal gatherings.

The new set-up includes a hot chocolate trolley and a limited-edition dessert selection foregrounding crullers, available throughout the day as part of the Crullers & Cocoa package, priced at £65 per person. For those looking for a more substantial meal, there are several festive menus catering for Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and group celebrations. The Christmas Day offering, available for both lunch and dinner on 25th December, is priced at £300 per person, with the New Year’s Eve selection at £250. For larger groups of ten or more, a menu is being laid on for lunch and dinner at £110 per person, while the à la carte range remains available in the courtyard for smaller parties.

International chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten takes a contemporary approach to cuisine. He opened his first UK venture, Abc Kitchens at The Emory, earlier this year. The new venue brings together his three Abc concepts from New York, each with a focus on sustainability, seasonality and plant-forward dishes.

Reservations are now open for all of the above, with availability expected to be limited during peak holiday dates.
