Description
Just a short stroll from Oxford Circus, Faros brings a sun-soaked slice of the Med to the West End with its vibrant take on Italian and Mediterranean dining. Tucked along Great Portland Street, this stylish spot blends rustic charm with a polished, contemporary edge, making it just as suited to post-shopping pit stops as it is to date nights and lively group dinners. Expect warm lighting, chic interiors and a buzzy, feel-good atmosphere that leans into its “Flavours of the Sun” ethos, all about relaxed dining, big flavours and good company.
On the menu, it’s all about crowd-pleasing classics done right, from handmade pastas and indulgent risottos to 48-hour fermented pizzas and seafood-led plates. Dishes champion fresh, high-quality ingredients, with favourites like beef ragu pappardelle, truffle-laced pasta and burrata-topped creations sitting alongside crisp calamari and colourful antipasti. The drinks list keeps pace too, spanning Italian wines, signature cocktails and easy-going spritzes that lean into that holiday-on-the-Riviera feel.
The concept comes from co-founder Burak Demirelli, who launched the first Faros in 2020 before expanding to Oxford Circus, building a reputation for approachable yet elevated dining. The restaurant has also earned a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice award, placing it among the top-rated spots by diners, and cementing its status as a reliable go-to in a part of town that can be tricky to get right.
