This grand Mayfair restaurant is a London institution. Originally opened in 1976 as a joint venture between the restaurateur Peter Langan and the actor Michael Caine, it relaunched under new ownership in 2021. The restaurant is open from early morning until late at night and aspires to sophisticated food, excellent service and knowing how to throw a party with elegance and style. There’s also an enviable art collection, displayed on the walls of the long dining room.
Location
Langan’s is right opposite Green Park tube station, stretching along Stratton Street.

The menu combines classic British cooking with French brasserie fare. Starters include dressed Devon crab, chicken liver parfait and Hereford beef tartare, while among the mains are sausage and mash, Dover sole and the house fish pie. The wine list offers a number of English and new-world options alongside an old-world selection that focuses on France. Thirty-one from across the list are available by the glass, too.
Time Out tip
The prix fixe menu is a good way to soak up the ambience on a smaller budget. It’s served from Monday to Saturday, outside the peak dinner hours of 6.30pm to 9pm.
