Mayfair

Mayfair has a new pub breakfast offering we think you're going to want to know about. We took the stairs to The Barley Mow's first floor dining room to find out more. 

12/3/24 - updated with new photos, details and an opening date.

A long time coming (we first wrote about this back in 2022), Larry Jayasekara has finally confirmed details about his first solo restaurant that's opening in Bruton Place, to be called The Cocochine.

Jayasekara was the former head chef of Gordon Ramsay's Petrus and his CV also includes such top-tier

While there's been a LOT of attention on the opening of The Devonshire, there have also been some changes at Oisin Rogers' old Mayfair haunt The Guinea. During Rogers' tenure, we'd heard about some very big plans there and now those plans have finally come to fruition. 

The pub has managed to nab an extra building next door, so the pub has significantly increased its dining space. However,

Didn't get an invite to this year's Academy Awards? Well a Mayfair bar has a menu that allows you to try the exact food the stars will be enjoying post-Oscars.

The arrival of a Michelin star is the well-deserved cherry on top for this somewhat under-the-radar Mayfair restaurant.

The Mayfair restaurant scene - particularly the high-end side of things - sees no sign of slowing down with Mistress opening in the area. 

It's a lower-ground affair in James Street, taking over the space that used to be Aura. Instead of the R&B club it was before, it's going to be

After nine months, things are changing at 20 Berkeley Street. The restaurant there originally opened as 20 Berkeley, a British-influenced brasserie from the Creative Restaurant Group, which runs Endo Kazutoshi's restaurants, and got some pretty good reviews too. But it seems that wasn't enough and now it's about to get a relaunch, pivoting to

Mayfair deli Farm Shop has an excellent, old-school wine bar hidden underneath it. We went down to try the food and wine out.  

The new Chancery Rosewood hotel in Mayfair is a pretty huge endeavour, taking over the space of the old US Embassy (and retaining the Brutalist look). We've been wondering what they're going to do for restaurants, given that they have to compete with a fair few high-end hotels opening of late, and it seems they're going big. 

Mere days after it was revealed ...

BAO has arrived in Mayfair - but not as you might expect. They've landed at Dover Street Market for a pop-up kiosk that's as much about their merch as it is about the food.

On the merch side, they've created limited edition Year of the Dragon t-shirts, made by Carhartt WIP, and you'll also be able to pick up sweatshirts, umbrellas, caps and even a custom zippo

We've known for a while that  Larry Jayasekara is opening The Cocochine with gallery owner Tim Jefferies in Mayfair. That restaurant should see the light of day this spring, but it's not the only project they've been working on. On the

Arriving somewhat quietly in Mayfair, The Dover is a slice of old-school New York Italian in Mayfair from a seasoned London hospitality professional. We went down to try it out.

Quite a few London high-end shops have gone down the in-store drinking or dining route. There's the very popular Café Leon Dore, Dunhill has its bar and courtyard cafe at Bourdon House, and

Ever since it opened in the weeks before Christmas, we've been waiting to hear when bouji new deli, Farm Shop Mayfair, was going to open its wine bar.

The good news for Mayfair-based oenophiles (who aren't doing Dry January) is that the day has arrived. The wine bar can be found underneath the shop

Nieves Barragan and José Etura's Sabor is coming back from the Christmas holidays looking a little different than before. Previously a bar space, right inside the front door you'll notice something quite different - a new table for 10 people. This is La Mesa. 

Its main use will be a group table that you can book on the ground floor, where you can order both dishes from the main counter as
