May Fair Kitchen, Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

Really enjoyed a drink at the end of a lush evening. Good service and atmosphere

We picked this restaurant originally because it offered a “small plate” experience of Japanese and Italian dishes. We love small plate offerings because they allow you to curate a fun and interesting food experience. However, when we arrived, we saw they had a Festive Set Menu that offered a two-course or three-course meal with a glass of Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs or Spiced Mandarin Spritz and we loved the course offerings. It was a lovely bit of serendipity and it turned out to be the right decision (although we do want to return for the small plates). The food was beautiful presented and delicious. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service was great. The price was reasonable for London, £39 for the two-course meal and £45 for the three-course meal. Our server, Michaela, could not have been nicer. She was friendly, professional and efficient. We are already planning our return visit.

What a terrible, miserable place. One of those god awful "small plates" restaurants where quality and price are completely mismatched. Rudest waiters in existence who pester you to order even when not all parties are present. I would choose being boiled alive over returning here. Had the audacity to overcharge us by £50 at first as well. As the French say : à fuir !

Amazing food and tremendously good service!

Very accommodating staff, we booked afternoon tea, very good both in terms of the range but above all the service, completely outstanding even. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Food was very good but not mind blowing as I would expect at that price level. Atmosphere is really nice and inviting.

The black truffle ponzu was too salty but other than the food was delicate and flavoursome. It was a shame however that Patrick the manager was somewhat rude to us. If not that it would be a very nice experience overall.

Food was scrumptious and the atmosphere amazing x

Just had an amazing set menu, food was incredible and Dhava was so attentive, we will return! Will return. It is a vibe in the place

I regularly go to the Mayfair Kitchen to have meetings or with family, and I always get a very nice great warm welcome from the Head Host Zena and always on point in giving me a warm welcome, as one of the VIP guests at the Mayfair, and when I bring my guests are always satisfied with the services from the staff. I highly Mayfair Kitchen recommend to anyone who attends there. Finally, I would like to thank the staff for always going that extra and keeping up the good work.

Welcoming staff on arrival, comfortable room and good size bathroom with all amenities required. Dinner was very good and I can highly recommend the mushroom risotto and the king prawns.

The staff lead by their manager Jarla were on point. They functioned as one in unison providing attention to everyone and making sure the guest had what they needed. Jarla led by example. She is the definition of a hands on leader who motivates her team. Kudos

Fresh food beautifully presented. Excellent service. Pauline is friendly, fast and professional. In a world of corporate blandness she makes everything feel special. Long may she reign !!

Amazing! Service was amazing, the food was awesome and the selection of teas was lovely 😍😍

This is a very nice modern space. We had Afternoon Tea and it was lovely ☕! It's really nice to see somewhere so forward thinking with Gluten Free and Dairy Free options. In fact, as a lactose intolerant person I couldn't even tell the difference! The service could have been a bit more timely, but we know they were doing their best meeting to adjust to the menu items. If you're looking for a modern and elegant experience, definitely give this space a try 🙂... And definitely try the Afternoon Tea ☕🐸!

The best service for my guests and I was satisfied as an event organiser of the UK-AFRICA Business Summit

Attentive service, waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to recommend some “personal favourites”. Enjoyed the aubergine dish a lot but the pasta dish unfortunately didn’t quite make the cut. It was underdone, probably needed an extra 2 minutes in the water. Other than that, atmosphere was very nice and chic.

The food was delicious; small tapas style plates that allow you to try a variety of items without getting too full. Alston took care of us and was wonderful! He was very attentive and all the food suggestions he gave were spot on.

We enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast in the May Fair Kitchen each day of our recent 3 day stay! All the staff were helpful and courteous…. but a special thanks to Pauline who greeted us each day … and had a pot of tea on the table as soon as we were seated! Many thanks to all.

Big and delicious selection of breakfast buffet! I had a made to order omelette and also enjoyed the buffet. Pauline was always there with coffee/water/ juice and she gave us good tips on touring London…. She was very nice!

Im a regular visitor who comes on a monthly basis. I always enjoy the great service and attention to detail championed by Pauline

Somiya provided us a wonderful dining experience while we were in a hurry to eat before heading out to a concert. She was professional, hospitable and informative about the area. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Went for their Charbonnel Walker Afternoon Tea. The tea selection was great and the unlimited sandwiches, scones and chocolate treats were high quality (the tiramisu was a nice touch). However the staff were a little pushy and were cleaning up the plates on my table or taking the cutlery when I was still very clearly eating.

Excellent breakfast! Tremendous Venedictine eggs

We went there for the afternoon tea. The food was good, with a fair price for an afternoon tea in London. The restaurant is rather noisy, with music playing and a mix of people dining, having an event or enjoying an afternoon tea. Given the type of restaurant/decor, that can be expected. However the service was lacking. We were there early, and got our table right away (a plus), and the tea shortly after we seated. But it went downhill from there… we ended up waiting around 40 mins for the sandwich and scones, which we got after asking (they had forgotten about us). We asked for tea refill, and again, had to ask after waiting for a while. Tasting it, it had been forgotten somewhere. Overall a fair price for the experience, an adequate afternoon tea, but far from being the best one in London.

Not the largest portions, but the food was good and service was quick and friendly.

This is a posh restaurant in Mayfair area serving Italian Japanese fusion cuisine. The interior is stylistically decorated & service was good. If you come here, you should not expect to get authentic Japanese food but rather modernised fusion style. Price is on the high side but I guess we paid for the ambiance as well.

I was really disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. I had chosen it after it was recommended by a food influencer who had said it was an Italian and Japanese restaurant. My fault for not looking into the menu before hand, but I had thought it was be a fusion of the two cuisines, but instead separate menus for each cuisine. I appreciate that as it’s fine dining the portions will be small but spending over £200 on the bill to leave still hungry was disappointing, especially as the food was good but nothing amazing that I haven’t had else where with bigger portions. Usually when the portions are so small it’s to savour the flavours, but the flavours were pretty standard. Besides the food, the atmosphere was great as you would expect with the location being Mayfair. The service was impeccable, the waitresses were so attentive and made sure we were comfortable during our entire meal.

Decent food at very reasonable prices for Mayfair

Esme was a great waitresses. Very attentative and gave us good recommendations. All the food is yummy, particularly the black cod and the aubergine.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a work dinner for 10 at May Fair Kitchen, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The reservation process was seamless, thanks to the extraordinary professionalism of Vittoria, who made sure every detail was perfect for our group booking. Upon arrival, we were greeted with fantastic service that truly elevated our dining experience. A special mention goes to Eros, who took exceptional care of our group throughout the evening, ensuring that we had everything we needed and more. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our night even more enjoyable. As for the food, it was nothing short of divine. Each dish was expertly prepared and beautifully presented, leaving us all thoroughly impressed with the culinary excellence of the restaurant. Thank you to the entire team at May Fair Kitchen for making our dinner a memorable occasion. We look forward to returning soon!

Definitely recommend for everyone. We have had amazing dinner in Mayfair kitchen last Sunday. The food was so tasty and delicious. Our favourite one was crispy king prawns with Wasabi mayo. Really really enjoyed our time. Very nice wine list selection too and amazing service provided from everyone but special Thank you too Eros( really appreciate his explanation in Italian as my Mom doesn’t speak much english) Bogdan and chef Archit. We will be back for sure!!!

Mayfair Kitchen restaurant is elegant, extensive, and comfy with every breakfast item on their buffet including cold smoked salmon and guacamole. Our server Pauline was especially friendly, attentive, helpful and we would hire her anytime. She made our visit extra special.

The restaurant offers a Japanese and Italian menu. The Italian is reasonable, the Japanese is just not good. The flavors are rough, the seasoning is aggressive (too spicy or too sour) in short, it's not Japanese. The service is exceptional, as for the atmosphere, there is DJ in the place, techno lovers will enjoy it. The price is expensive.

Gnocchi tomatoes and basil are very fragrant, and the grilled sea bass is delicious, but the taste is a bit sour and I am not used to it.

I have visited May Fair Kitchen a few times and each time, I have had an enjoyable experience. Their menu is updated frequently, which has allowed me to try a variety of different dishes. They serve both Japanese and Italian cuisine, and I have found all of their dishes, I've tried to be delicious.

Unprofessional and rude service, only a new Slovakian waitress was up to par. We ordered pizza which arrived with hair, returned it and put it on the bill anyway. I recommend other places in the area

Went to dinner with the girls - served by the lovely Esme who looked after us all wonderfully - never let our glasses be empty! Best of the best - thank you Esme xx

Mihaela and Eros took care of Us , the food was amazing and the service was 10/10 … really do recommend it Drinks were delicious Thank you for having us

Terrible service i came here with my wife and i was disrespected many times and the people who work here have terrible attitudes as well and the food itself was very unpleasant and undercooked terrible place i do not recommend.

Last night in London, this experience of flavour, service and quality just made my personal list of top 3 restaurants ever! Just wow. May Fair Kitchen Four oysters with chilli shiso dressing Tiger prawns with cayenne pepper mayonnaise Tuna sashimi with tosazu Hamachi tartare with jalapeño and ponzu Cornish crab dressed with chilli and lemon Wagyu Ribeye Truffle Ribeye chille truffle teriyaki Crispy Japanese Aubergine Black Pepper Ginger Yellowtail Sashimi truffle yuzu soy miso salt Matcha Tiramisu Madagascan vanilla sponge with Mascarpone crème and chocolate cocoa

A disgrace to London’s dining scene. Service was decent, but the portion sizes were abysmal to say the least. Went here with my girlfriend, and ordered the ‘Omakase’ tasting menu, to our grave disappointment. Perhaps we both had a pre-existing notion of what ‘Omakase’ means in the context of a Japanese restaurant, but whatever we experienced was definitely semantically distant from its conventional meaning. Menu mentioned the ‘Omakase’ tasting menu totalled 2000+ calories - we left the restaurant in semi-starvation. Going to cook ourselves some noodles when we’re home. Picture I attached is of the ‘baby chicken’. The lemon was the same size as whatever we were served. The other ‘main course’ (the black cod) was equally lacklustre. If you’re here for Omakase, please spend your money somewhere else, and thank me later.

My partner and I had an unforgettable Valentine's dinner experience at May Fair Kitchen. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Bogdan, was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish expertly prepared using high-quality ingredients. The Yellowtail sashimi was a standout, bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented. Overall, May Fair Kitchen exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return for another memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in exquisite cuisine in the heart of London.

The waiters seemed confused and haste. Took away my unfinished plate all of a sudden, without even checking if I was done- woosh he was gone. Awkward. Couldn’t enjoy or comfortably eat what I paid quite a lot for. Not everyone feels comfortable asking a waiter to bring their plate back. Overall, over priced. The food was tasty, but can’t say the same for mocktails, tasted artificial.

Great service and atmosphere, but the food was meh despite the small menu. Beyond sushi none of the 8 items we ordered were particularly good.

Food great and kitchen staff amazing. Just one hostess spoilt it all. Her surly face affected the atmosphere for us. She was rude. Taking unfinished drinks. Face like a smacked butt as we needed 5 min more to decide. Good pizza

A little toward high end dining with both Japanese and Italian menu,portion small consider with that kind of price tag but food is delicious!mainly to share Good vibe,love Irina the waitress!

My husband and I went here for dinner craving some Japanese food. The seafood platter was delicious and definitely hit the spot. The cod was my favorite. We also had the shrimp tempura and the aubergine which was good was well. They have an extensive list of wine and sake. The atmosphere of the restaurant was romantic and cozy. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area. Irina took care of us the entire time and made sure we enjoyed our meal.

Unusual combination of Japanese and Italian menus, but why not? It works! Really tasty food on both sides of the menu. Beautifully designed restaurant too.

Tout était parfait. Sympathie des serveurs, plats délicieux, délais entre les différents plats corrects, bonne ambiance. Serveur soucieux de nos désirs, si vous souhaitez + temps entre vos différents plats, vous avez juste à le signaler :-).

Great atmosphere, great vibe, but the food portions are so small, I was hungrier leaving then I was arriving. Plus asked for a birthday desert upon request but until I got there they said they don’t do that. Overpriced for what you get for sure, but the decor is lovely, unlike my bank account the day after 🤷‍♂️

Very professional team, presenting efficient attentive and welcoming experience in a lovely designed restaurant. Definitely coming back for another beautiful evening here!

Voilà un restaurant très décevant. Le 25 décembre, un menu de Noël très plaisant est imposé aux clients. A vrai dire, seul le nom du menu permet de se rappeler que vous y dinez un 25 décembre. La décoration de noël ? Il n’y en a pas. La musique de Noël ? Il n’y en a pas. L’ambiance de Noël ? Il n’y en a pas. Que reste t-il de Noël ? Pourquoi avoir appelé ce menu « de Noël » si c’est pour refuser toute référence à Noël ? Pourquoi ne pas l’appeler Menu Barabas ? Munu Pilate ? Ou menu découverte? Au delà de la forme abordons le fonds. Le service est tout simplement médiocre. Goûter le vin ? C’est old school. Offrir du pain si le client en demande ? C’est barbare. Demander au client si toit va bien, sourire, c’est vulgaire. Mettre le volume sonore si haut que l’expérience en devient pénible, c’est l’avenir, surtout si le service traîne en longueur. Heureusement le chef se donne du mal pour sauver le naufrage de la gestion de la salle. C’est bon et même très bon. Pas suffisant à nos yeux pour qu’on ne regrette d’y avoir mis les pieds.

Reservation issue was solved brilliantly! Compliments.

Food was ok. Portions are tiny. Risotto was very salty. Some of the waiters were very helpful and attentive whilst others were not - had to ask for a menu 4 times after being seated. Limited veg options. Facilities were clean and ambience was good. Nice to try as a one off for me.

I absolutely loved my afternoon tea experience here! You will get super full and satisfied with the tea package that includes a free prosecco. The scones with clotted cream and jam were definitely the star of the evening. The waitresses were also very professional and friendly. I think there was just a small miscommunication issue as we were initially told that we can only get the English breakfast tea with our package but then another waitress informed us we can choose any tea we desire. But that's okay, that didn't minimize our satisfaction level at all. I thoroughly enjoyed my tea in a casual yet sophisticated setting. Will come back the next time I visit London, for sure.

The food is very good but portions are far too small

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been great but last night the service was shocking. Literally no attention to detail. The hostess who showed us to the table was great but that was where it started and ended. Staff couldn’t suggest or recommend anything, we ordered a carafe of wine and it took forever to come to us. It wasn’t even busy and our glasses were empty most of the night and staff kept running off with the carafe, super frustrating. When we asked for a top up for like the 3rd time they brought a brand new one charged to us when we had one going mostly full. In the end we gave up and had to keep getting up from the table and pouring ourselves, this wouldn’t have been as bad if it wasn’t that the place had maybe 6/7 other tables only. Our mains came when all our starter plates were still on the table and the waitress didn’t even bother to clear on placing our mains down, I had to ask her to take the empty plates. Desserts were tasteless and it was sub par super disappointing

Beautiful food beautiful experience

Ambiance, food, drinks and staff here were lovely! I enjoyed the edamame, octopus and beef carpaccio.

I was with a large party, so we had lots of small plates to sample- scallops, shrimp, tartare, chicken… a lot. Service was slow, but the food was very good - not life changing it good, but very well cooked. Favors could be a bit bolder however.

Came here as part of our spa package from the Mayfair Hotel which included lunch at this restaurant. Food is very average, some of the flavours such as the stracciatella strawberry salad were very oddly paired (not to our taste). The ambience is very cosy and warm however, service extremely slow.

Irina was our server and she was brilliant. Lovely food - would highly recommend

The food was amazing and the ambience was good. The quality of the experience was premium for a reasonable price!

Beautiful buffet with the best almond milk cappuccino and all kinds of special healthy vegetarian choices! Our server Rubaiyat went above and beyond, even though it was a crazy busy weekend brunch scene- he not only took my special order and executed it perfectly, he was charming, perceptive and prompt. What a lovely treat to have this kind of attentive service, with no need to flag down a surly person just for a coffee! We have eaten here every year when we visit London, and never tire of this place. Great fresh food, a spacious layout and exceedingly well-run.

Another average restaurant in Mayfair trying to stand out. The food was just ok, but very overpriced. In their defence everything looked pretty. But lacked a bit of "punch". I would avoid.

Great for drinks, fantastic service.

A wonderful experience. Had a long lunch with a couple of family members. The food and wine were exquisite and we were served attentively but unhurriedly. A delight to visit. We decamped to the bar afterwards and continued a blissful afternoon. Thank you May Fair!

Absolutely delightful dinner, I went vegan for the first time and they promptly gave me a full delicious menu with lots of great recommendations ❤️ big shoutout to Irina who also suggested the umeshu sake to go with my food and thanks to everyone who made my evening lovely

Breakfast review! Nice food quality and vibe but when visiting for a (mainly buffet) midweek breakfast, you don’t get near enough value for £40 plus service.

This restaurant has recently changed to a Japanese and Italian menu. The food was delicious we ordered octopus, gnocchi, and pizza. You could tell the quality of the ingredients and how fresh everything was. The atmosphere was beautiful with a live DJ setting the mood perfectly for this restaurant. The service was impeccable, very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend and have added this spot as one of my favourites.

Great food. Highly recommend the ceviche and Spanish pot. Very nicely decorated. Good for small groups and dates, but not large groups or small children. Will visit again.

Now they serve Italian and Japanese - we only tried sea food - it’s extremely tasty.. you will love the service, Thanks to Eros for his lovely service.

Amazing Food Excellent Service...

Nothing special really unless you want to go feel rich. Being the restaurant attached to an upmarket hotel doesn't make it amazing all of a sudden. Overpriced for a reason, they have a "caking charge" of £5 a person for bringing a cake from outsode 😂 that's just too much 😂 even Nando's isn't cheap enough to charge for it!!

I came here during Easter for their afternoon tea and it was a wonderful experience. The sandwiches were the best I’ve ever had, and I really wish I was hungrier so that I could have eaten more. The chocolate desserts were beautifully crafted and tasted amazing, and the tea was top quality. We were taken care of by welcoming and attentive staff. It took a while for our platter to arrive but it was so worth it. And the place itself is beautiful. I would love to come again because this was probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had

Couldn't fault this place. Attentive without being over the top. Great service, wine list and food! Just trying to think of a reason to come back and visit again...

Lovely staff who accommodated our requests. Small plates were amazing

We had lunch for two. The Mayfair Kitchen's service was welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was modern, calm and good for having a relaxed conversation.. We ordered the £33 3 course menu. We agreed the starters and mains were very disappointing with excessive lettuce and rice, with minimal meat and seafood, but the desserts were better. The wine we chose (Sancerre) was good but overpriced. Our conclusion, the Mayfair kitchen is a good place for a meeting, but don't expect good food.

We had the three course set menu and it was great.

very, very pleasantly surprised with this place. Have been many times in the area, but never in this restaurant. Really enjoyed the small dishes, especially the yellowtail sashimi, calamari, tiger prawns and ceviche !

Good food and great service! There is an excellent selection of food in tapas style and our server Karine was incredible, especially with her recommendations, which made for an experience beyond expectations.

Me and my partner went for afternoon tea on a Sunday and it was perfect. It's chocolate themed which is perfect for chocolate lovers! The sandwiches were the best I've had at an afternoon tea. We went for the veggie options which were served on lovely bread.

Alles aan dit restaurant is perfect. Het eten, de sfeer, service, bediening en het drinken! We hebben samen met aanbevelingen vanuit de bediening verschillende soorten besteld. Echt al het eten had een heerlijke culinaire smaak. De wijn en cocktails waren ook perfect. Dit is echt een aanrader voor een gezellig avond heerlijk eten!

First time visiting the May Fair Kitchen with a friend and I was left impressed. Our waitress, Vivien, was extremely attentive and friendly. The food was also really tasty. First of many visits!

Mi primera vez en Mayfair cocina muy agradable, la anfitriona Beatrice fue muy atenta y la camarera Karine nos dio muy buenos consejos, la comida era deliciosa, sin duda volveré.

I celebrated my partner's bday lunch here and it was impeccable.

Exclusive restaurant and and very professional service. Perfectly located in the centre of Mayfair. Definitely recommended

We had an afternoon tea at the Mayfair Kitchen! Jonas was amazing, he was very attentive and made our experience one of the best I have ever had!! The staff couldn’t do enough to help you! The hotel is on point and smells amazing too!!

Wir waren zu einer Geburtstagsfeier hier und haben hervorragendes Essen in einem sehr schönem Ambiente mit angenehmer Musik genossen.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea here today as part of a spa package at the Mayfair hotel. The restaurant is bustling with energy and activity, and the music is loud and trendy, but the service is surprisingly good, and the tea is delicious. And even though I was enjoying tea by myself, I never felt like I lacked company as the friendly waitstaff would check in on me with some frequency ensuring that my cup of tea was always full and that I had any sandwich my heart desired. Thanks very much, Janos and team!

Went for a Sunday lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Chose from the set menu which was good value for quality food. Best restaurant staff and service I’ve experienced in years.

Great location with very good drinks! Normal prices, and very kind staff. Especially Jacob, who was our waiter for tonight. He was very nice and helpfull. Totally recommend it!

Thank you for such a lovely service! The cocktails were amazing ! The atmosphere is fantastic ! Even the music is great! Our waiter was very nice and polite ! Thank you for such a lovely time !

We visited the Mayfair kitchen for afternoon tea and would not fault a thing, our waiter Janos provided a excellent service he was so lovely and helpful, the food was amazing, we will defiantly recommend this and will be coming back
