A quintet of restaurants across Europe, where the interiors are considered as delicious to look at as the food is to devour, have been celebrated by a prestigious French design and architecture awards body.

The Prix Versailles, presented at UNESCO's gilded headquarters in Paris, picks the world's most beautiful restaurants every year, with five European eateries - including one in London - named on the 2026 list.

Across the globe, a diverse variety of venues have made the latest Prix Versailles cut, with a mountain chalet restaurant, beach club and a skyscraper cocktail bar all praised for their stylish interiors.

What catches the judges' aesthetic eye? They're looking for 'testimonials to multi-faceted beauty' that 'walk the line between raw elegance and mouthwatering eye candy'.
