McDonald's is best known for its fast and casual service but a new luxury concept restaurant will offer a McDonald's butler experience. Available as a one-day pop-up event at its High Street Kensington location in London, England, the experience will be available on August 15, 2018. Reservations for the McDonald's butler experience can be made online and will become available for booking two days before the launch of the event.
Diners lucky enough to attend the pop-up will be greeted into the sounds of a string quartet and will be escorted to their table by white-gloved butlers. The interiors will include velvet drapes, burger-inspired artwork and diamond studded cutlery. The menu will also receive an overhaul for the McDonald's butler experience and will feature "Classic", "Barbecue" and "Spicy" burgers.
This luxe experience will coincide with the release of the McDonald's Signature Collection.
