Marble Arch Lounge

Marble Arch Lounge can be found close to Hyde Park, just a stone's throw from Marble Arch tube station. This sleek restaurant and bar is decked out in simple, elegant furnishing, with lots of plants and mirrors decorating the white walls.

Their Mediterranean-inspired menu features small plates and sharing dishes such as chilli garlic prawns, chicken shawarma tacos and seasonal vegetables with whipped feta. Plus, there are cracking cocktails and wines to wash it all down.

Jeru

For a timeless Mediterranean-inspired menu, make your way to Jeru on Berkely Street. This elegant restaurant is filled with greenery, as well as decadent chandeliers and shelves full of fine wine. As for the food? You can expect everything from yellowtail crudo and crispy hasselback artichokes to charcoal roasted aubergine here. And if you venture downstairs to hidden bar Layla, then you'll find small plates, carefully curated cocktails and vibrant beats all night long.

El Pirata

A great tapas spot in Mayfair for those of you who love Spanish flavours and small plates, El Pirata is all about the food, with a focus on traditional Spanish hospitality and family cooking. This secluded spot has been serving the area for over 30 years, having won the SME award for Best Spanish Tapas in London for 2020-2021. Head here for everything from pan con tomate to marinated cod cheeks and prawn fritters with garlic aioli, cooked up by an experienced team.

The MAINE Mayfair

Uncover detailed ceilings, velvet booths and ornate chandeliers at The MAINE Mayfair, where you can indulge in gorgeous grub. What's on the menu? Succulent steaks and seafood platters, which you can also take in the pretty winter terrace.

The Rex Delicatessen

The Rex Delicatessen can be found nestled in the heart of Mayfair, sporting gorgeous interiors thanks to its stable roots. It's retained a number of original features, pairing them with reclaimed wood furniture to create a serene daytime dining environment and cosy evening bistro. At the helm of the kitchen is Sri Lankan-born chef Larry Jayasekara (who opened The Cocochine); using his travels and experience, as well as his partnership with Rowler Estate in Northamptonshire, he creates seasonal British dishes like aged beef tartare or spiced roasted pumpkin sour.
