Badiani Gelato Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

i went there today with 7 other friends to eat a PASTA and a lady refused to take our payments! we all had revolut, which is an international british very well known bank, and surprisedly our bank card wasn’t accept in their machine for some reason… ALL of us had 10 thousand pounds at least in your accounts and still their machine wasn’t working, which is funny…. i mean, why did they not even try to restart the machine? of course something was wrong! of course they were in the end of the day (this was around 9:10pm) and they were tired and couldn’t care less, but its upsetting and frustrating, imagine how much the restaurant could earn with 7 people eating and drinking… anyway, we decided to go to la porchetta pollo bar in soho and they accepted REVOLUT and care about customer experience since decades and this pasta unknown restaurant should learn from that! :)

This is such a fun place to visit for lunch. The ambiance is unmatched. There's a lovely plant store at the entrance and lots of fun food options across the 3 levels. We got food from the Thai place and the Indian place. My sisters got the chaat fries with a side of butter sauce and said they were definitely rated 10/10. The jalapeno margaritas and strawberry daiquiris from the taco place are also delicious, and the red curry from the Thai place was everything I hoped it would be. I have a gluten allergy and both the Indian and Thai place had options that were clearly marked and staff that seemed reasonably knowledgeable. I chose to forego a protein option in my Thai curry dish because I don't prefer the gf protein options they had, and when I needed something changed, the server was quick to fix my order. The facility has 2 elevators, but the one that reaches the top floor is out of order as of April 2025 and the stairs are uneven so be very careful on them. The rooftop seating is particularly nice as the inside of the Mercato felt a little warm, but also can't be reached without more stairs. Even if the lift was working, you have to find a staff person with a key because it's locked with signs that say they're only for certain priority clientele.

Great food & service, really nice venue.

Extremely busy but we managed to get a table at the Spanish place for tapas wonderful food and drink

A very special place! I loved everything!

Great place for lunch in a great location. I recommend

Such cool space and great food options!

Amazing experience with a lot of food options

Lovely former church. It's a buzzy spot for lots of different types of street food. Not madly expensive for Mayfair.

Very different place for drink and food!!!! In church! We tried Italian food there many times and I was very good, gelato was great as well.

Had the sharing dish from grass fed beef. Very good plenty of food for two people. Good price couldn't fault it . For what you paid and what you got. Very good.

I'm really sorry to post a negative review because I love this place, but Someone from Mercato should ensure that all food stalls display their prices clearly. I had a disappointing experience at Epic India Food Bindas stall, where my friends were charged an unreasonably high price for a plate of food! They are not displaying prices of certain meals and this clearly become a tourist trap! I’ve shared a full review about Epic India Food Bindas under their Google review page, and hope Mercato’s management takes notice and investigates! There is also another review saying exactly the same thing that was posted about 3 months ago..

Overpriced - £17 for carbonara pasta that tasted like water. They asked if I wanted bacon and mushroom on top and did not mention I will be charged for it, carbonara usually comes with bacon and you shouldn't have to be charged. The pasta was watery, I did not taste any cheese, the bacon was too salty and the pasta was not cooked properly. It took so long to prepare! Waste of money!!

Too many people, not enough space, service not quick or consistent enough. Came here with friends, all received food at different times and effectively ate alone as others queued alone. Could be great on weekdays!

Gastronomic market. Very nice building, well restored, preserving the old church. There are tables in the center, it is surrounded by establishments that represent part of the world's cuisine. In each location you order the dish/drink/dessert that you most want, they give you a pager and when your order is ready they notify you. It also has a small terrace to eat outside on sunny days, the place has two floors and an underground tunnel with gastronomic establishments, even a very nice shop at the entrance with plants and more. It is undoubtedly a success if you go with a group of friends or family, since you have many options to eat. In our case we tried a lot of dishes and desserts (sorry for not taking more photos, we had enough 😋)

Wine, Pizza, Cacio e Pepe … and more

Nice atmosphere, unique experience having your meal/drink inside a church but extremely overpriced and no healthy food options. Overall a good place!

Worth a visit if you are in London. So many different options to buy something to eat is brilliant.

Amazing, I really recommend the place to be able to eat in an extremely friendly and original place

Very characteristic place and we ate a good and not too expensive pizza.

A lovely food and drinking place in an old church with many old features retained thankfully. Nice wine at the bar in the corner Bobeme? But the wine was a little over priced imho. Would def go back and try food places and more drinks.

A great place to eat with friends. Everyone can have whatever they want, as there's a wide selection of dishes. The atmosphere is pleasant, but it can get quite noisy.

It's really like the pictures. This is very good but also very expensive. The ice cream is particularly recommended... 12/10. We were there around 5 p.m. and there was enough space to feast.

This place is a must-see for its atmosphere and food. It's worth going up, but also going down. I recommend it.

loved loved loved the experience and the vibes!!! the food was amazing too

Lot of options for food and wine. We had Pasta which was very tasty 😋

Really nice market however, can get very busy and not enough seats. It can get very claustrophobic. Would recommend going on a nicer day where they is more room on the roof top to sit and each lunch

Ancient church now deconsecrated and dedicated to a market. On different floors there are different culinary options, capable of satisfying all tastes and all ages. If you go upstairs, and if the weather permits, explore the small terrace available for customers; an ideal place to enjoy a break with friends. In this case however, remember that the space is small and that available seats are sold out! In any case, an experience recommended to anyone who happens to be passing through the area!

A church that is used as a food hall. Pasta and ravioli delicious

Food market on a deconsecrated church, magical.. wide choice of food, a bit crowded. Worth a visit..

Gorgeous setting and great flexibility for everyone in our group to all find something they like to eat. Pasta and the Indian food were our faves

Deconsecrated church, very very particular with kiosks where you can eat and drink in the company of friends

Lovely church setting with lots of food,drink and stall options

I recently visited Mercato Mayfair and tried the pasta, and I have to say—it was excellent. The pasta was perfectly cooked, maintaining a nice al dente texture, and the sauce was flavorful without being overwhelming. I could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the dish had a great balance of seasoning and richness. Whether it was a classic tomato-based sauce, a creamy option, or something more unique, it was evident that a lot of thought went into the preparation. Beyond the food, the setting of Mercato Mayfair made the experience even more enjoyable. Located inside a beautifully restored church, the high ceilings, stained glass windows, and elegant decor created a unique atmosphere. It’s not every day that you get to enjoy a meal in such a grand yet cozy environment. The food hall had a lively yet relaxed vibe, making it a great place to grab a meal with friends or even dine solo. One thing I appreciated was the variety of options available. While I stuck with pasta, I noticed many other stalls offering everything from Asian street food to freshly baked goods. It’s a great spot if you’re with a group and everyone wants something different. Overall, my experience at Mercato Mayfair was fantastic. The combination of great food and an incredible setting makes it a must-visit in London. If you’re a fan of pasta, I’d highly recommend trying it here. I’ll definitely be going back to explore more of their menu!

A brilliant concept to utilize an old church. A great atmosphere with delicious food stalls, a bar, and other small stalls. The elevator makes it relatively wheelchair accessible, with only a few steps at the entrance.

The beautiful chruch with its stained glass windows is amazing to sit in and have food. I kept on thinking Jesus at the marketplace in a church, turning over market stalls. I grew up Christian, so this made it all the more tantalising to eat there, especially the bar in the altar taboo. There is a huge variety of food places and drinks really fun place. Cause of London and the location, the food is a bit on the pricey side, but you are paying extra for the cool venue. The upstairs was good and they had a terrace which I so want to go to in the summer. I went for the calzone, and it was £15 and was very filling. The bar in the altar was nice they gave table water with ice and a slice a lemon 🍋 which I always appreciate.

Went on a Saturday so it was busy, but eventually we found a place to stay. Nice food, expensive drinks but the view from the top floor was all worth it.

There were 3 meals here, all amazing meals. First, I ate the pasta. Amazing! The second one, was a lamen. The noodle was a bit thin, but ok. The third one was the best: a butterfinger chicken. Not to spicy, but on the point. I'd like to recommend all 3 places. The chicken is a little hidden inside, but it's worth it. But try all 3 if you can, ok?

The location is very suggestive, unique and worth a visit. We took a Neapolitan pizza (good) and a pad thai (absolutely not to take). A beer at the kraft bar and it cost around 40 pounds...high prices, maybe it's worth a ride to have a drink and take some photos. On my way out I noticed an inscription stating that the church housed the tombs of Sir Hudson Lowe (governor of St Helena at the time of Napoleon's exile) and his wife Susan......... It is natural to wonder where the bodies were transferred.....

A church worth seeing. Lots of friendly people there. Unique flair

The church's renovation is very special, but there are not many tables and the price of the meals is very high. You can just visit it, but you don't have to dine here.

Excellent atmosphere however very low quality pizza inside

Very original. A church with glass windows!! Variety of food from all over the world. Setting music. Rhythm

You can't miss it, a renovated church with a very pleasant atmosphere and full of food stalls.

The only problem is that there is a lot of noise. But the site is very original. It has an outdoor terrace with very beautiful views.

It is curious that inside a church is a place to eat. There are different stands in diverse food. The dining tables are communal. You must pay by card

Spectacular place, with many possibilities to eat

The environment is very good and the location is very central. I liked what we tried from the food and drinks sold inside, but the prices were a little high (approximately prices on the ground floor for crepes 4-5 £, pizza 15-20 £, fresh pasta 10-15£, beer 6-7£). However, it is worth trying for its atmosphere. It is forbidden to bring food and drinks from outside, it can be very difficult to find a seat on Friday and Saturday evenings

Everything you don't expect to find inside a church, if you are nearby it is worth a visit, it is located right in front of the Cardinal Palace shopping center

Beautiful structure, I expected there to be more activities though

A noisy and crowded place that I didn't like sitting in

The daal curry was really nice and friends liked the pizza. The venue is cool in a church. On a Wednesday night we managed to find a table for 6 ok.

I love this place. It’s one of the best place to bring people when they visit London. Great atmosphere at night and amazing food everywhere. You can really enjoy your night there. Plus, the place is really unusual. You have to do it when you’re in the area.

The church food & drinks stalls and a roof terrace is incredible place, I never see before, but this is London, everything is possible. Food was delicious, finally weekend not was busy yet. That place very good tourist attraction experience also.

Met friends here mid-week after work, good craft beers and a great selection of food at the many small pseudo street food vendor stalls. Good value, for some very tasty food.

an unusual place, you can drink a beer right under the altar 😄

Definitely a must visit when in Central London! The beautiful architecture of the old church with the contrast of the newer food stalls makes it a nice visual clash. The atmosphere is great and welcoming, plenty of places to eat from pizza to ramen to coffee to cocktails. There is definitely something for everyone. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too. Accessibility wise it's right off Oxford Street, just catch the 139 and you will stop 3 minutes away. It's a perfect places for a day out with family or a night out with friends.

This hidden gem is insane! We were amazed by the location and atmosphere of this place. 😊 I highly recommend the Pizza Napoletana and the German Kraft beer – it was the best pizza we've had in London so far. With reasonable prices and a great variety of food and drinks, it's the perfect spot for a delicious lunch, just 5 minutes from Bond Street.

Extraordinary site located inside a church. A huge amount of food and completely different bars in a pleasant bustling atmosphere with a lot of people and that also has a basement that is surprising because what should have been a kind of catacombs is now a bar and a pizzeria with an incredible atmosphere

Edit: the response to my post says "Dear H... there is no H in my name. It shows the lack of care with regards to the customer experience. DON'T RECCOMED AT ALL! It was an unfortunately overall terrible experience. Overly crowded... rook us 15 minutes to find a table for 2. The lift is out of order and my elderly mom had about 25 steps to climb. Got margaritas, and they filled the glass 2/3 full for 12£, then got dumplings and asked for chili oil on the side. They gave me no chili oil. By the time i realized, i spent 5 minutes fighting my way to my table. I was sat next to one of the food stalls and they smoked meat next to us making the smell and heat unbearable. On top of that we got told to put our waterbottle away because it's not allowed. We had 55£ of food and drink on the table and my mom needed to take her medicine. I guess they wanted us to buy their water on top of the exorbitant prices of everything else. To top it all off, the fire alarms went off while in the toilet area and the noise nearly gave everyone a heart attack. I wish I could take this entire experience back and have gone to Selfridges food hall next door instead.

Absolutely great atmosphere. In the church, where its interior was left, a food market was established - a gastronomic space. It is difficult to find a free seat in the evening. The prices are not high, but the food we tasted was really good.

It’s so unique to sit down and grab a drink or a meal in the church. I definitely recommend this experience.

Great food hall. Wide selection at reasonable prices for the area. A bit stuffy due to lack of ventilation. However you get to eat in a fully decorated church. The possibilities for dad puns like “bites for Jesus” ,”forgive me lord for all the gains i am about to make” etc. are limitless if you are into that. If you get super lucky you can snag the table on the roof.

Magnificent place with a brilliant concept, nothing to say, you absolutely have to go there!

Old church converted into a gastronomic market. A spectacle of foods from half the world concentrated in one place. Congratulations

Really fun place to visit with friends, very underrated

One of the most special places in London and the food is always special there.

I really liked it, it is a very curious place (church converted into a market), with a good atmosphere, a DJ and many food stalls to choose from, it is a great option when you travel because you have variety and it is cheaper than going to a restaurant. If I go back to London I'm sure I'll go again!

This place an old Church...Very interesting place..

Mandatory stop to have lunch in a particular place at reasonable prices. Here you can find cuisines from all over the world, we ate pad thai and rice curry for two consecutive days. Excellent, cheap, plentiful. You order, pay and then sit wherever you find a seat, at any table in the market.

amazing place and a really wonderful way to conserve this place. Food and drinks we had were really nice and staff was super friendly!

A very nice place to meet, to eat, drink and to enjoy. Average age of the visitors will be appeox about thirty. Different option for meal and drinks. Nice atmosphere. The formula of using an old building, in this case a church is followed in various cities like Arnhem (The Netherlands), Budapest, and Mechelen (Belgium) and others.

Gorgeous place but overrated. We went near 1 pm and it was full. This place miss hugely the place inside to take the seat. Maybe the choice of the restaurant's corners is too big for this place. Even stairs were full of visiteurs trying to find the way..with hope to find any free chair... But first of all, this place miss hugely ventilation! Mixt between flavours and humain sweat just pushed us quickly in the direction of the exit. It's a shame ....

Visited in August 2023 - Sensibly the worst stall you could try at Mercato Mayfair (Maylaisian food). The food is far from exceptional, with a very long wait and expensive for what is served. Surprisingly, there was no one around... everyone seemed to have figured that out. While water bottles are already confiscated at the entrance, this is not the stand where you can refresh unless you're willing to pay £5 for a carafe. Upon returning our dishes because no service was provided, one of the few customers there, who had just ordered the same thing, had a completely different content on his plate. Visited in January 2025 – A nice surprise to see that this stand has been removed. Instead, there’s now an Indian street food corner that is really good. The prices are still quite high, but the unique setting makes it worth it !

Met friends for lunch. Wonderful food and buzzing atmosphere. Different foods from Indian to Italian including wine, beer, coffee & gelato.

An unusual place to have a drink, eat or have a snack. In the chic Mayfair district, the Mayfair transfer window offers a gourmet or shopping break in an old deconsecrated church. Depending on the time, there is a risk of waiting at the different counters. It is possible to return without consuming just to enjoy the place. Price in accordance with the standing of the neighborhood.

Variety of foods. Different place, excellent option to have a meal. A little noisy. I would go during less busy times

Great improbable outing, well eaten, very hot...

Incredible place, in few places you can eat or have any meal of the day in a church, I recommend not staying on what you see, ground and upper floors, if you look for the stairs that lead to the bathroom and do a little research you will see an incredible basement with more places to eat. Many people skip that plant.

Spectacular. Highly recommended.

A peculiar church set up for eating and drinking, very popular with a beer rack on the altar.

Brilliant atmosphere, big choice of dishes, a tad too much conveyor belt mentality but great once you're sat down

Beautiful and evocative place to eat. A church that offers different types of cuisines. Absolutely an experience to do.

Fantastic nugget in the heart of London.

Very beautiful and evocative, perhaps not recommended for families with children, more suitable for couples or adults

Not the top of gastronomy, but the bulding, the mood, it's just fantastic.

Very special experience. The place is gorgeous. The food is expensive😛

Mercato Mayfair is certainly a unique and visually stunning dining spot, set inside a former church with its beautiful stained-glass windows still intact. The atmosphere is truly special, and enjoying food against this historic backdrop adds to the experience. That said, the biggest downside is overcrowding. Finding a space for more than a couple of people is a real challenge, with many tables booked but sitting empty well past their designated times, which was frustrating. It takes away from the otherwise vibrant and social setting. The food variety is strong, with a great mix of cuisines, but some stalls felt overpriced for what they were offering. I opted for the Duck Ramen, which was delightful—rich broth, tender duck, and well-balanced flavors made it a real highlight. For dessert, I had Italian gelato, which, while not the most mind-blowing I’ve had, was still tasty. I’d especially recommend the pistachio flavor, which was smooth and full of nutty depth. Another downside is that there didn’t seem to be anywhere to get a simple, standard soft drink—if you just want a Coca-Cola or something similar, you're out of luck. Overall, it’s a cool spot to visit once, especially for the setting, but the hassle of seating and pricing means I wouldn’t rush back. Google doesn't allow half stars, but I would say 3.5/5

Surprising and borderline disturbing to find yourself in this place with a beer in your hand and some food.

Highly recommended, great food court with lots of choice in a great atmosphere

Market with different food stalls, different options, pasta, pizza, ramen...also to have a drink, Coffee, craft beer…

Great place to have breakfast or dinner. One of London's essential stops.

Very cool place where I had some of the best pasta I think I have ever eaten. Great atmosphere and very unique.

Very cool and magnificent atmosphere

Truly exceptional and unique place. Always a winning card to bring friends and relatives visiting London. Courteous and always available staff. A special thank you to Sergio S. who always welcomes everyone with a smile and his great professionalism, thank you very much.

One of the best vibes you can find with the most refreshing beer in town!

The gelato is so tasty. However, I don’t like the atmosphere and the vibes it brings a sad and depressing feeling, I’m not a Christian but when I see a religious place converted into a cafe with multi bars and loud music it makes me uncomfortable. So I advise you to give the place try and that’s it.

A very unusual place in London where you absolutely have to go! We had something to eat at Club Mexicana and we later learned that everything was vegan! This restaurant is located upstairs so we had a great view. I will go back! 😍

Very impressive food hall in a church! 😍 Nice and busy and it took some time to find a spot. Finally found the wine bar and had a delicious meal and drinks! There is everything: from sushi to hamburger, from noodles to pasta! Highly recommended!
