Mayfair

We reported on this one way back in June 2025, but now it's being confirmed, Mazi is coming to Mayfair - although this outpost will be called Maza. 

It's been over a decade since Mazi opened its doors in Notting Hill. The refined Greek food restaurant by Adrien Carre and Christina Mouratoglou has since spawned sibling establishment Suzi Tros, also in Notting Hill, and this central London opening will launch in the old Pizza Express building opposite The Guinea on Bruton Place. The space, you may remember, was briefly taken over by the Guinea during Covid and used as the

In what's very much an on-again/off-again affair, it looks like the much rumoured return of Le Caprice is back on again. The restaurant had long been rumoured to be part of the launch of the new Chancery Rosewood hotel, but just before that opened the deal was thought to have fallen through. The hotel opened, along with Carbone, but the space that was originally supposed to be Le Caprice (the corner pictured above) remained unfilled. 

Now a job listing, first spotted by ...

In Mayfair, you'll find quite a few Michelin-starred restaurants, but there's much to try more besides expensive tasting menus. Here's our pick of the very best restaurants in Mayfair right now.

Back in September 2025, a fire at the former Television Centre in White City meant that one of London's best restaurants Endo at The Rotunda was forced to close, less than a year after a major refurbishment, no less. 

But while the restaurant remains closed, Endo himself will instead be launching a new pop-up at Annabel's in Mayfair. Annabel's will be calling the restaurant "Endo, Upstairs at Annabel's" but Endo himself refers to it as "Untitled". Regardless, you

It is a boom time for cafes and bakeries at the moment. Recently, we've had the very successful opening of Onsu in Soho and this week, we're also getting the new Claridge's Bakery. Now it turns out that we're also getting a new cafe from a chef who has made his name at Claridge's sister hotel, The Connaught.

Japanese handroll restaurant Temaki opened in Brixton in 2021 and quickly found a dedicated following. However, all good things come to an end and they closed up in Brixton last August, and went on the hunt for a new central London location. They've now found just that, thanks to help from The Crown Estate. The new Temaki will be launching on Maddox Street in Mayfair, taking over a space right next to Maddox Gallery and a few doors down from Patara. 

Not surprisingly, Temaki focuses on the Japanese handrolls of its title, originally taking its inspiration from Californian

Tattu, the high-end Chinese restaurant with a view on the top of the Now Building, originally started as a group of restaurants in the North. Now the same team behind that are bringing another of their restaurants to London. This time it's the Mediterranean-inspired Fenix. 

Currently only in Manchester, Fenix will be taking over the space that was Henry's on Piccadilly (which closed mid 2024), a fairly big space next to Green Park station. From the plans (as we haven't actually been into Henry's

London's run of stealth openings continues with Automat. The American brasserie returns with a new team and a hidden-away location in Mayfair.

London bakery nerd alert - one of the world's best bakers is coming to town. Richard Hart hails from London but made his name far from home, having headed up the famous Tartine in San Francisco for seven years before co-founding Copenhagen bakery Hart Bagery with none other than René Redzepi of Noma. Now he's signed up to be the executive

In France they're responsible for a roster of hotter-than-hot restaurants, and back in 2021 we were the first to let you know that the Loulou Groupe were heading to London for their first UK opening. Now, four years later, we have more details on what's being planned.

The team have taken over a Grade II listed building in the

Matt Abé graduated from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay to his own place, opening on the hallowed ground that used to be Le Gavroche. We went to Mayfair to see what he's done with the place.  

Restaurateur Martin Kuczmarski is a busy man. Just days after opening Martino's, his follow-up restaurant to The Dover, in Chelsea he's at it again. Now he's gearing up to open another space on Dover Street, just a few doors down from his OG restaurant.

Dover Street Counter sounds like it'll be much more of a playful, casual spot. They're pitching it as "a place to drop in - and likely stay longer than planned."

Crisp Pizza's arrival in Mayfair at The Marlborough is peak London food scene hype. We went down to see if those pizzas live up to the sky-high expectations.
