This grand Mayfair restaurant – open since 1976 – is a London institution, relaunched under new ownership in 2021. It’s 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.
The menu combines classic British cooking with French brasserie fare. Dishes range from starters of dressed Devon crab, chicken liver parfait and Hereford beef tartare to mains of fish and chips, 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. Twenty-five from across the list are available by the glass, too.
