Ormer Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

We came here to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was spectacular. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and classic British. The food was delicious, it was exactly as desired on the menu and really brought out the flavours of the dishes and the chefs inspirational countries. The menu had been curated with lots of flair and very well made. Definitely some beautiful food to enjoy.

Visited here for my husband’s birthday and was underwhelmed. Some of the dishes just didn’t taste great, for example the olives that didn’t go well with the pigeon but the thing that I didn’t enjoy the most was the overbearing Head Sommelier. I’m not sure if he feels he’s missed his vocation in the entertainment industry but going on for many, many minutes about things beyond the wine was really irritating. On several occasions, empty glasses were taken from our table without an offer of another drink. Try Pavyllon instead of this, it’s amazing!

If there’s one restaurant that has truly redefined fine dining for me, it’s Ormer in Mayfair. Without exaggeration, this is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that this isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish is a masterclass in flavor, presentation, and creativity. Whether it’s the impeccably fresh seafood, the perfectly cooked meats, or the delicate, artfully plated desserts, each bite is a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. The ingredients are top-tier, and the execution is flawless.

Great culinary experience, with a special mention for the head sommelier who made us taste some rarities.

Dinner. Two covers. Mid-week. Very quiet, understated, underrated, discreet restaurant. The cuisine from canapes to deserts (so rare) is of very high standards with quality ingredients. Great work on sauces. Two menus: 5/7 courses. Portion sizes are good. Progression of the menu is well thought-out. Not much work on garnishes (a brioche with a scallop as a garnish?) but that’s London. Most high-end cuisines have given up on those, sadly (except Ducasse at the D). Negatives? Not many on the cuisine front: this restaurant punches way above its current rating based on this visit. Even the dessert was subtle, light, the mignardises, smart. So rare as we all know. This restaurant, on the lower ground floor (....) is not helped by a quite sombre decors (makes me think of 1890 btw). Not a summer location imho. The RM, is very friendly and does his best. The sommelier, well, I have not met one like him for quite some time!!! One of the best 1* restaurants in London. If I were the hotel owners, I would invest in this team as, in my experience, if the team in the cuisine is ambitious -I do not know them-, it is unlikely they will stay at this location for too long. Such a high-end cuisine deserves a much higher profile, a much higher level of recognition. Great cuisine at very decent prices (for once!). A must-go restaurant. Do not know how often they change dishes/menus though.

This was a sponsored event so no idea about cost but I'm sure you need to part with a good measure of pounds. We had a private room and service for the guests in the room. The service was amazing, attentive, explaining each part of the meal etc. We had a set Menu that was adjusted for dietary requirements. Generally a starter of cured Cornish mackerel, with a lovely broth main of roast fillet of beef with a side of mash. I didn't have the dairy desert so mine was called fruit selection(it was not fruit) We were given olives and roast almonds and a generous amount of bread, with butter or olive oil and balsamic vinegar for those not having dairy. First of, all the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Each was paired with an appropriate wine, but I'm not a wine drinker so can't comment. My only quibble is the portion size. I am not a huge eater but without the bread I would have gone home still hungry. I don't know how much you need to order to get full but starter, main and desert didn't really cut it. I was so grateful for the bread which was delicious but if you're not a bread fan you're just going to have to order more food. I enjoyed the experience, I enjoyed the company, I enjoyed the service but I'm a hearty kind of gal at heart. I need just a little more food at the end of the day.

I had an exceptional experience at Ormer. The tasting menu was a delight, showcasing a variety of dishes with intense flavours. The staff's friendliness created a comfortable atmosphere, and the sommelier added a touch of humour and charm to the evening. Each dish stood out with its unique taste, making it a memorable culinary adventure. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience. **26/02/25**Another fantastic visit! My third time at Ormer, and it never disappoints. A journey through incredible flavours, with some updated dishes and exciting new ones. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the front-of-house team is absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and welcoming. Even a little treat to take home, perfect with a cup of tea to extend the experience!

This is one exceptional dining experience , incredibly it had been a year since we last ate here . Then I mentioned in my review the very warm welcome the subtle interesting food the discrete room with well spaced tables the lovely bar just off the restaurant , the manetta where we enjoyed rossinis served by cheerful friendly staff - all in all excellent , the head waiter and indeed all the staff are exceptional . An exceptional experience that on this occasion proved you can have a brilliant set menu with no longueurs , just the right length.

Loved this restaurant. Great vegetarian menu. The dishes were really creative and the service was on point. The little things they did made it a memorable experience.

Food is great and the staff is really friendly and attentive.

Una primera visita este año y para un menú degustación actualizado de siete platos. Me gusta mucho Ormer, es de lejos una de las mejores estrellas de Londres y ofrece algunos de los mejores servicios en la capital también. Siempre me saludan cálidamente cuando entro aquí y me he familiarizado bastante con el excelente equipo. El servicio que recibirá aquí es preciso, amable, profesional y sobre todo, agradable. Se preocupan por el servicio e incluso recuerdan visitas anteriores para ayudar a guiarlo cada vez. Incluso en restaurantes de tres estrellas, a veces falta este nivel de servicio diligente. Para el menú degustación de siete platos: «Waldorf», jalea de jamón ibérico caliente, caballa córnea curada, langoustina escocesa, paloma Anjou asada, kéfir de apio al horno y azafrán inglés. La comida comenzó con unos canapés bellamente delicados, una diversión - bouche y masa madre de sémola y cebada. Cada plato fue exquisito con mis platos destacados siendo la Caballa, la Paloma y el increíblemente delicado azafrán inglés en forma de manzana, tan fino que deben tener muchas roturas mientras se emplatan. Cocina excelente con salsas maravillosamente fragantes. Gran parte de los ingredientes provienen de los jardines de su hotel hermano en Essex. También opté por el curso de queso que se presenta maravillosamente con gran entusiasmo desde un carrito. Las bebidas fueron Champagne y un Marsannay 'Les Longeroies' Domaine Bruno Clair 2021. También me dieron una prueba gratuita Madeira con el curso de queso. Toda la experiencia fue magnífica, como de costumbre, aunque me duele ver el restaurante tan infrautilizado. Este es un stand - fuera de la multitud Michelin de Londres ocupado y es extremadamente bien valorado contra otros, en particular para el corazón de Mayfair. Absolutamente vale la pena visitar.

Had the five course set menu for dinner at ormer mayfair. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the pigeon (it was my first time trying it), but everything else on the menu before the main course was a bit disappointing. The dessert was the best part of the meal. As it was my guest’s birthday, they gifted us with three glasses of Prosecco - quite lovely. The presentation of the food was wonderful, the service was more than great, just wish the food was a bit more tasty or had a bigger “wow factor.”

Absolutamente excepcional y probablemente una de las mejores comidas en los últimos 2 años. En primer lugar muy bonita zona de bar para tomar un cóctel de cena de mineral. El restaurante es en el sótano un lugar pequeño e íntimo, pero las mesas están muy bien espaciadas. Tuvimos el menú de pescatariado de 7 platos y cada plato se presentó como una obra de arte y sabía excelente. El bacalao, oh my estaba perfectamente cocido y tan tierno, lentamente escalfado en mantequilla. Los desiertos no eran enfermizos y dulces. El vino osit tiene un precio razonable , se pueden encontrar vinos decentes en alrededor de £ 40 y el sumiller recomendó vinos alrededor de la marca de 50 libras. Esto es muy buena relación calidad-precio para un restaurante Michelin, ya que será difícil encontrar vinos de menos de £ 70 en la mayoría de los lugares. Servicio no intrusivo y muy amable. El chef también salió y habló con nosotros. Como era mi cumpleaños nos dieron un poco de efervescencia y un poco de petit fours. Hemos tenido algunos hitos clave para celebrar en los últimos 18 meses y había visitado Gordon Ramsey -chelsea y Heston / Cena. Esto fue por mucho superior y experiencia más placentera. Nuevo restaurante favorito. El menú degustación debe ser uno de los más baratos de Londres. Gran relación calidad-precio, buena comida, gran servicio

LORENZO, SAMY, and NATALIIA provided us with a delightful experience. The location is quite prestigious, yet the breakfast is handy/casual. The menu is extensive and convenient. It is worthwhile mentioning that the Continental Breakfast is buffet based and placed next to the bar. The service was quick and extremely efficient.

Ormer Mayfair was more memorable for the service and ambiance than the food. Their tasting menu is a little quick and small portioned even in Michelin Standards. Dishes like their cured Cornish mackerel and roasted pigeon are still good, however the conclusion of the tasting menu left doesn’t leave a full feeling of satisfaction. On the other hand, their service was top notch. Very friendly and personable staff made the restaurant its self a pretty nice attraction and notable in that regard. Overall, I think the menu has to reflect a more fulfilling course selection for value and portion to warrant a visit compared to the limitless other options you could choose from in London.

Great fine dining for a special occasion, with a lovely wine pairing experience.

Every dish was exceptional. Peculiar but delicious combinations worked. Savor your time there and enjoy the food show.

We dined here for our 1st wedding anniversary. Everything was excellent: food, service, professionality. Honestly, one of the best dining experience I’ve ever had.

Food was exquisite, service was excellent, great venue!

We really had one of our best times at the restaurant Everything was extraordinary The dishes, the non-alcoholic wine because I am pregnant, the perfect service We traveled throughout the evening between Morocco and Ireland We thank you for your kind attention Really thank you don't change anything

Food quality and service were exceptional and one of my favourite wine lists in so far with its variety.

El menú degustación fue una delicia absoluta. Los creacionistas del chef sublimes. El frente del teatro de la casa era divertido, cortés, bien informado y muy profesional. Nuestra velada de celebración será recordada por todas las razones correctas. La vieja adición que pagas por lo que obtienes es verdad, pero, nuestra noche bien valió la pena.

Excellent fine dining experience!

Un menú degustación increíble - los platos eran fantásticos con influencias británicas y europeas. Cada una era una obra de arte, bellamente presentada y absolutamente deliciosa. La pasión y el conocimiento del equipo es excepcional. Cada plato está cuidadosamente explicado y el maridaje de vinos era perfecto y el sumiller excelente con la elección y las explicaciones. Tiene que ser uno de los mejores restaurantes de Londres y le recomiendo encarecidamente que experimente la maravilla de Ormer. La primera estrella Michelin otorgada este año es muy merecida. El entorno del hotel Flemings Mayfair es elegante y sofisticado. Gracias por una experiencia increíble.

Excelente servicio atractivo, muy servicial y profesional Excelente comida... Bien cuidado por todo el personal y un sólido conocimiento de todos los platos y productos.

The best fine dining experience in London so far. Well deserved Michelin star. I’d say worth 2 Michelin stars. Big shout out to head sommelier Peter for exceptional prestige wine pairing which it is huge contribution to chef’s creations on the plate. Cheesemonger Alex had perfectly selected cheeses for us. And most importantly, it was beautiful to watch how the team together delivers top notch service. Well orchestrated place.

Cannot express how wonderful our experience was at Ormer. The Peters were incredible in regards to wine pairings as Sommeliers were second to none. Marco at front of house was just an absolute delight - and do not skip the Cheese Trolly experience with Mira. You will no be disappointed, it was an absolute delight and an experience I would not skip on your next trip to London. I’m

Ormer nos dejó boquiabiertos. Lo encontré en Tripadvisor ya que casi todos los clientes le dan 5 estrellas, una cosa rara. Así que fuimos allí por el cumpleaños de mi pareja. No nos decepcionaron. Plato tras plato de comida increíble, complementado por un ambiente fabuloso y una maravillosa casa frontal. La comida era deliciosa, pero también ilusiones. Estás comiendo algo y tu boca no puede darle sentido ya que no se adhiere a las normas. Increíble. Una verdadera experiencia. Un cruce entre Helen Darozze (cocina clásica) y Heston (por ahí). Para mí muy por encima de la corriente principal protagonizada por Michelin Core de Clare Smith y Ramsey. Le deseo lo mejor a Sofian. Creo que escucharemos mucho más de él en el futuro, y espero probar más de su increíble. Estaremos en una golosina.

Ormer es increíble - un restaurante de estrella Michelin ubicado en Mayfair Londres, no lejos de Piccadilly. Escondido en la parte de atrás, abajo es muy acogedor e íntimo. Los alrededores son muy reservados, muy lujosos, muy relajados. Además, algunas grandes obras de arte en el camino a los baños. La última vez que fuimos fue antes del COVID, así que ahora que estamos de vuelta en Londres pensamos que volveríamos al viejo embrujo. Ormer solía ser a la carta, ahora menú fijo. Lo primero que diría es que el menú no le hace justicia - el menú suena simple, pero puedo asegurarle que la comida es increíble. Tuvimos una degustación de 7 platos con maridaje de vinos premium, pero no hasta que tuvimos una copa de champán primero de la cesta de champán - muy agradable. Los Sommeliers (Peter) saben sus cosas, grandes selecciones con buena variación, incluso echando un Jerez Flor Fino, y un Sake increíble en la mezcla - se recomienda elegir el maridaje de vinos. Hay varias variaciones en el menú : Estándar, Pescatariano, Vegetariano y Vegano - Estándar para nosotros! La ensalada Waldorf era más como una pequeña sopa fría - delicado, delicioso El pan increíble, el maridaje de vinos fue un jerez Fino que salió perfectamente Jalea de jamón ibérico caliente - suena interesante, puedo asegurar que es una delicia Curado Caballa de Cornualles me recordó a sashimi - fresco, y ligero La ensalada de langostina fue la siguiente, deliciosos trozos de crustáceo en un plato El curso de paloma servido como pechuga de pato, con una salsa de tarta - rosa y sabroso No puedo recordar el postre, todo lo que puedo recordar es que era un final perfecto Por mucho que amamos Waterside, adoramos este lugar, si quieres saber cómo es la comida y el servicio con Estrella Michelin, te reto a hacerlo mejor.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ormer and it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and chic decor. The attention to detail in service was outstanding throughout the night. The menu was a perfect balance of creative and delicious - every bite was pure bliss! The recommendations from our waiter and sommelier were spot-on, and their knowledge of both the menu and the wine list was impressive. Whether you're a foodie looking for creative dishes or simply seeking a meal somewhere special, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Really nice ambience; service is superb and we enjoy the food very much. The tuma yellow chocolate dessert is to die for.

I went here for my wife’s birthday and was so happy. The food was exceptional and the service wonderful. They have us some extra sweet treats for the birthday too.

Great dinner here. The staff are exceptional and super enthusiastic, and the food really is a great showcase of British with European influence. Enjoyed every course and not to mention the unique and interesting wine list.

My wife and I were visiting London and wanted to go somewhere special to celebrate our 27th wedding. Our experience at Ormer was perfect. We had a lovely time.

This is an exquisite restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The service is brilliant, offering the perfect balance of attentiveness, friendliness, and knowledge. The menu is thoughtfully curated and balanced, with excellent recommendations from the sommelier. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Don't miss a drink at Manetta's Bar, either before or after lunch or dinner.

Last night, we had the five course tasting menu. Each course was superb:exceptional tastes and textures . We could not find fault. From the amazing canapés to the petit fours, each dish was a triumph. My only disappointment was that we had not ordered the 7 courses as I would have liked to taste more of the chef’s inventive and delicious food. The staff were knowledgeable, congenial without pretension. I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. One of the best meals I’ve had - ever.

For gourmets and connoisseurs who are looking for something special. The star chef spoiled me with creative and sophisticated dishes that were not only a visual highlight, but also exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. Every course was a new taste explosion that took me to another world. The service was attentive, professional and courteous and made my evening an unforgettable experience. I felt completely comfortable and can recommend the omer mayfair without reservation. A visit that is worth every cent and will be remembered for a long time. 5/5!

A well-deserved star to celebrate perfectly prepared, intensely flavourful, beautifully presented food. While some dishes are very dainty, leaving you wanting more of the delicate flavours, we did not leave hungry. The cheese board is extensive with some gems even a seasoned cheese lover might not have heard of, and staff are incredibly knowledgeable. Service is attentive and courteous, and the atmosphere is calm and classy, which makes a nice change from some of the brash, noisy places in London claiming the top spots for good food. Great cocktails, too!

Wow! Dining at Ormer was an exceptional experience. The food and flavours were extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression. The lamb dish was 🤌🏾. The atmosphere was perfect, creating a wonderful dining experience. The service was attentive, professional, yet warm and friendly. Overall, it was just perfect!

We had the 7 course tasting menu. Starting with 3 appetizers that were to die for followed by a fantastic menu. All courses were super tasty and the prestige wine menu was a perfect match. Not the usual wine paring that I am not normally too fund of but great match out of the ordinary. The service was extraordinary as well. All in all - highly recommended - we will be back!

Every thing was perfect & they made my partners birthday very special!

From the moment we stepped into the elegant ambiance of Omer Restaurant in Mayfair, we knew we were in for an extraordinary evening. The private event was nothing short of spectacular, with every detail meticulously curated to offer an unparalleled dining experience. The customer service was beyond outstanding; the staff were attentive, professional, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. As for the food, it was a culinary masterpiece. Each dish was a revelation of flavors, beautifully presented and crafted with the utmost care. The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the creativity behind each course left us in awe. It's not just a meal; it's an artistic expression that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you yearning for more. Omer Restaurant has set a new standard for fine dining in Mayfair. It's an establishment that doesn't just serve food but celebrates it, creating memorable experiences that linger long after the last bite. A must-visit for anyone seeking gastronomic excellence.

It is hard to imagine a better dining area experience.

Definitely the best meal of my life. Awesome service too!

10/10 Ormer is a winner. If this is not two-star cookery, what is? The plethora of below reviews serve the same purpose as mine; to convey quite what an experience Ormer is. This was, no doubt, the very best meal of my life. Start to finish. Excellent canapés, packed with flavour, followed by what I can only describe as a flurry of impeccable cooking. Ham jelly - who knew?! Lamb, for me, was knockout - the dish was so cohesive, so well executed, cuisson perfect, served with the most delicious side dish of all time. I shall not spoil it - it truly must be eaten to be believed. What of the service? Also excellent. Service is something I’m a stickler for; being by yourself makes you all the more prone to the awkward gaps between courses, and more alert to poor or disinterested service. Impeccable service, literally top tier, can be found at Adams in Bham - I quite literally measure the quality of any other place against their offering. Ormer matches it. From such warmth to asking about where I work, to matching my passion for cooking, to showing me into the kitchen, all of these things were conducive to what I might go so far as to say was the best meal of my life. How lucky am I - 20 years old and still many more places to visit, but Ormer is one I shall certainly return to. A final thought - peach iced tea pre dessert - genius! My thanks to the whole team, and of course most of all to Sofian.

Outstanding restaurant. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu (one regular, the other vegetarian) together with the wine pairing. We had seven courses and every dish was phenomenal. We also indulged in the cheese serving. The size of the dishes were just right and the flavours were outstanding. I couldn’t pick a favourite. Our sommelier was a real character, full of interesting stories and humour. Lastly, the price was unbelievable for the quality. We had a fantastic evening and will definitely return!

The ambience is beautifully relaxed and intimate. The service is warmly welcoming and quietly, superbly efficient. The food is spectacular. We had the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. Every course was perfect, imaginative, complex and super tasty. And the sommelier, Peter, was in a class of his own: helpful, deeply informed and wonderfully entertaining. This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. And amazing value.

Very unique dishes and extremely good service. The side of lamb main course is amazing. Highly recommend.

Staff at this Michelin-starred gem were so welcoming and friendly. And the food was another level - surprised that they don't have more stars. Beautifully presented and wonderfully complex layers of flavors. Can't wait to go back.

The veggie 7 course tasting was beyond delightful. The wine pairing was a wonderful journey or taste, history, and stories. It’s all about the story and journey! To enjoy this time without feeling any pressure of pretentiousness, and feeling it is approachable is priceless.

Nestled discreetly within Mayfair, this gastronomic gem offers exceptional value and experiential richness. The Wine List is a journey through terroirs and varietals, guided by the thoughtful Sommelier, Peter. His expertise transformed sips into symphonies of flavor with the dessert pairing being exquisitely notable! We also decided to upgrade to the Cheese Trolley with Stefano as a delightful encore, showcasing his encyclopedic knowledge and impeccable presentation it was divine. From the initial greeting to the final farewell, every moment was crafted with meticulous care and attention. Dining here was a sensory voyage of meaning and intention, where each bite and sip left an indelible memory. In a city brimming with many awarded offerings, this restaurant stands as a beacon of distinction. Secure your reservation before this culinary haven becomes too hard to get in!

Starters were very good ✅ Mackerel was bad ❌ Lamb was bad ❌ Wine selection was very good ✅ Atmosphere ✅

Had a lovely bday dinner with my friend last night - food and wine were so good and we went overboard with the cheese course too 😅 don’t get the stinking bishop cheese though it’s awful 🤣🤣🤣 fave course was the lamb. Cooked to perfection and of course as always love the canapés in the beginner especially the duck liver parfait!

Cosy and a place to escape the busyness of Green Park and Mayfair. Food was delicious, the steak extremely soft and high quality.

Honestly one of the best value meals in London. Friendly, helpful staff - attentive sommelier and fantastic cheese selection. Will be back!

Excellent 7 course menu. Would very much recommend. Newly Michelin stared so easy to get in on shorter notice. Well worth the price.

I'd never heard of this spot till the Michelin star and the rave reviews, and I feel like I've now found a London secret. Ormer is in the basement of Fleming's Hotel, and such a treasure. We went on a weeknight, and there were couples and quite a few diners eating alone, which is great to see...because why should you have to wait for a friend to join for a fabulous meal? I want to do that too. Life's too short. Anyway, for 79 quid for five courses, the selects were incredible. The service was warm...like a family, full of passion. Definitely add on the wine pairing - the somm is very knowledgeable and plucks some great bottles for you to try. I like that he really listened to our needs and preferences. They paired perfectly. I also liked the bar area too. Overall such a gorgeous experience and at a fair price. What a night, thank you team for making us feel so special.

We had a wonderful culinary experience at the Ormer Mayfair Restaurant. I say experience, because one gets to know the staff by the name, elegant yet cozy interiors, lights that are dimmed and food coming at a pace that makes it really enjoyable. Before even starting the exquisite dinner experience, we had the chance of getting to know some of the wines and champagnes from the first class sommelier Piotr. The restaurant manager Lorenzo and his team are all very professional and funny. And then there is the chef and his team. Absolutely exceptional food that delivers both on presentation and taste. So many intriguing dishes made with only few ingredients is what makes a chef stand out from the crowd. One has three different tasting menu options able to please any requirements one might have. It should not come as a surprise to anyone that this hidden gem in Mayfair was awarded recently a Michelin star! Definitely we will eat there again soon!

Ormer is a real hidden gem, and a great place for dinner is a really good, plush setting with really fantastic , professional staff. There is no loud music like you get in some restaurants where it's impossible to hear the person sitting next to you. Its dimly lit and tastefully fitted out and would appeal to sensible diners with manners, but sadly we did see some unmannered diners just taking photo after photo after photo of their food. The lights from their cameras were distracting but that's not the fault of Ormer, but a reflection of the poor manners of the diners. The restaurant has spaciously laid out tables, not close to one another like in some restaurants, and there are some areas in a booth style settings. I would describe it as sumptuous. The food (including 3 sets of canapes and petit fours) could not be faulted and the staff took time to explain the dishes in our tasting menu, which was in some instances, educational. Notable dishes, the Turbot from the 7 course menu, the crumble which is finished off with liquid nitrogen (be careful as its super cold!). Ormer is a real gem, truly magnificent.

Good quality for price, service was excellent. Food was too creative for our taste, especially in the mains and dessert which were not balanced and too experimental. The Asparagus (main) with strong vinegar aromas and a chocolate Millefeuille were the biggest disappointment in the menu which is why I would give 3 out of 5 star. The wine was decent. The music was not a good fit with the restaurant (think retro videogame music) which was very neutrally decorated. The plates and cutlery were very simple and plain in color but had a nice quality to them. At £79 per person it is good quality for money however for a better experience in a one star Michelin go to Hide around the corner which has a real atmosphere and where dish are more balanced.

There are several prerequisites for an enjoyable meal out in London or indeed anywhere ese , the greeting , the room setting , the food -Ormer scores a 10 in each category . The greeting here is exceptional , other restaurants take note , you are welcomed ,the food is exceptional , the room is almost perfectly lit , the service is outstanding . So a great evening preceded by a drink in their bar manettas which is a lovely place to have a pre dinner drink , not too big , almost cosy , very smart . A paean of praise for ormer restaurant and its bar-well deserved

It’s delicious and I think it suits Chinese people’s appetite haha. The champagne was great and the service was great. I will definitely come back next time！

One of our best experiences in London. We would say top 5. The food was divine, we went for the pescatarian menu. They change their menu often. The ambience is really cozy, quiet and nice decor. Nice selection of paintings. It’s definitely a place if you like art. The staff were very friendly, polite, and really treated me and my guests very well. It was my birthday and they provided the best atmosphere we could have. Definitely we will return and highly recommend Ormer. When you choose a place more refined like this one you really expect everything sparkling and perfect. I am quite picky with places and I couldn’t find one single fault. I would suggest just a piano as background, apart of that, this experience was perfect.

We have been really impressed by our experience at Ormer Mayfair. This is probably my favourite restaurant in london and i can’t wait to go back. The decoration is beautiful, unique and very cosy. I suggest you start by a drink at the bar. We had a 5 course menu; it was simply delicious and so beautifully presented. Last, the service is better than in 3 Michelin stars. I suggest you ask for the table of 4 behind the curtains.

You will feel welcome from the moment you step into the building. The staff are genuinely exceptional! It was my first time at Ormer, last night, but certainly not the last. The service was a perfect choreography. The 7-course pescatarian menu, a delightful way of discovering the Chef's talent. Every dish was a savoury combination of textures, and explosion of flavours. Bravo!

We dined at Ormer on the first night of a 5 day trip to London in January 2024 and it was a great start. The staff were friendly, very helpful and happy to chat between courses about our thoughts on the food. Each course was delicious and packed with flavour. From the generous canapes, deconstructed Waldorf salad opener, stunningly light barley brioche, richly flavoured warm Iberico ham jelly, via the cured mackerel, impressive 2 dish pigeon followed by the brown butter and chocolate dessert, right down to the petit fours we enjoyed the lot! The flavours were all distinct yet blended well. At the end of the meal we were given another petit four to take away plus a small signed and dated copy of the menu to keep- a lovely extra touch and something which just added to the experience. We'll definitely return the next time we're in London!

My first fish & chips dinner in London. Good experience. Food was tasteful, large portions and friendly staff. Recommended!

This was a memorable dinner. Outstanding in every way. Beautiful cocktail bar beforehand with attentive and wonderful service. The five course tasting menu is just sublime and an absolute must. Although there is a seven course which included two amazing sounded dishes on top. The canapés weren’t only elegant and beautiful in appearance but lived up to to it in taste. Followed by the main event, all were heavenly and cooked with such skill and technical know -how. The chefs came front of house to describe dishes, a lovely touch and shared the enthusiasm of the food they have prepared. The wine pairing is just amazing with multiple regions covered. Again, all explained in a passionate way showing a real “love” for what they are doing. Informal atmosphere with formal dining, the perfect combination. The cheese board is a must (for cheese lovers) amazing and varied. Finished the meal with a wonderful desert which complimented the meal before it. Wholeheartedly recommend Ormer, ,how it is not Michelin Star is somewhat puzzling. Hopefully won’t be long .. it thoroughly deserves it. Thank you to all at Ormer for making this a truly wonderful experience.

The most amazing experience! I highly recommend. This was a special treat I will never forget.

Hands down to the best fine-dining restaurant in London - superb taste, vibe, and service, easily beating a few other fine dining restaurants with Michelin stars. It was my third time visiting and there will be a fourth visiting.

Tucked away in the cellar of a hotel (Flemings hotel) in a narrow London street, it's easy to just walk by not knowing that you have a superb restaurant virtually at your feet... A very intimate and tranquil dining room, open and spacy yet well suited for low key conversations. Chef Sofian offers here a variety of tasting menus (with great vegetarian options) where local - at least British - ingredients are in the forefront. For instance: Cornish seafood and Cumbrian lamb, completed by vegetables from their own cultivations. The menus can be accompanied with wine pairings in a "simpler" (cheaper) package or a more prestigious selection. We tried both with equal satisfaction. For those who want to choose from the wine list an impressive selection is available - also by the glass, which is exemplary! Beautifully presented dishes - all with high refinement. And NONE was a dip! Very unusual. We felt a crescendo all the way through the menu. The menu is preceded by four amuses - equally elaborated. And of course, post dessert a bunch of mignardises is presented. Thus you'll end up with a total menu of well over 10 dishes. Service is impeccable and the timing and pacing between dishes couldn't be better. Ormer is far from understaffed and the hard working people on the floor showed "fingertip feel" for how to address various types of guests. It's not cheap to eat and drink at Ormer, but for the quality throughout and the professional service it must be considered more than affordable. In fact, this was one of our greatest dinner experiences all time! Ormer is mentioned in the Michelin guide, but it's a mystery they don't have a star. They certainly should have! Highly recommended!

Meh. Way too many dishes with gelatin in them. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff; the food just didn’t live up to the hype.

Herausragendes Abend-Menü mit super Service und toller Weinauswahl

Obviously a lot of choice in London and we took some time to choose a venue for an anniversary dinner. We landed on Ormers after a decent amount of research and we weren’t disappointed. We headed to the bar to start the evening, a low lit cocktail bar at the back of the restaurant. The service was immaculate and the extensive cocktail list was supplemented by off menu requests. The cocktails were fab (and strong) and the atmosphere reminded me of Milk & Honey in its glory days. On to the table, we were sat in a great corner table (would recommend if you’re requesting) and greeted by the sommelier offering a selection of champagnes to start the night. The menus came and you’re basically presented 2 tasting menus - the normal or the veggie. We opted for the main tasting menu and then visited by the sommelier again to chat about the wines. Ormers do do a matching wine selection but, given the tasting menu was mainly chicken and fish, we opted to just order a bottle of wine. The amuse bouche arrived and was 3 different dishes, all absolutely delicious. This was followed by a Waldorf (basically a consumme) and then the fish and main course. 2 desserts followed as we opted not to take on the optional extra of a cheese plate. The food was all absolutely delicious, however, the portions were TINY. I know tasting menus do tend to have small portions, but we did leave debating whether we should grab something on the way home! The service was outstanding throughout and the whole experience was lovely. Certainly recommended and four stars only because we could have done with either a few more courses or bigger portions!

had a wonderful date night at Ormer Mayfair. Went for the full tasting menu which had a few courses that were recently replaced. All the courses were excellent, no exception. Well executed, harmonious, wonderfully presented dishes, some quite original. The service was great - attentive, well paced and friendly. The design of the place felt a bit old, and the music volume was very low to the point you can hardly here it with chatter from the other tables becoming more prominent. The music itself that was playing wasn't really around a different theme or genre. The speakers also sounded a bit flat. This should be improved. Other than that, a really exceptional dinner. Highly recommended.

It was the most lovely experience. If you want a fine dining experience with a really comfortable relaxed, yet still very grand surroundings - you must come here. It was a truly remarkable evening. The dishes were something we’d never tasted. It was the first time we’d left a tasting menu feeling comfortable but fully content and well fed. The dishes just keep coming. There are plenty of fish dishes which keeps it light and you feeling good. It was unlike any tasting menu we’ve ever had. The service was superb. We were wonderfully looked after. Our sommelier had great suggestions. A five star experience.

We celebrated my partner's birthday at Ormer and we loved the experience. The place is beautifully decorated, the atmosphere a retro vibe from the 40s, with lighting and decoration carefully thought of and designed. We had a five course menu paired with wine, the food was excellent with a special mention for the mackerel and the lamb, exquisite flavours and textures made in heaven. As for the wine pairing menu, the choices were clearly made to put all the lights on the food with a good balance of classics and less known wines. I really enjoyed it and on a next visit, I'd love to see some more bolder options. The portuguese vinho verde, from the Loureiro grape and the Pouilly-Fumé wouldbe great additions :-) At last but certainly not the least, the service is exceptional. Friendly, very knowledgeable and attentive the team has my five 🌟

This place is 'something else'. Not cheap at all but worth every penny. No a la carte, only tasting menus: including vegetarian. They do 'wine pairings' but the very knowledgeable sommelier, Fabio, will guide you to some great wines by the glass if you give him some idea of what you want. Quite quiet with a limited number of tables but that's no bad thing sometimes. Service informed and spot on. Special occasion - give it a try (we've been twice and have every intention of going again). In Flemings Hotel in Half Moon Street, Mayfair.

My husband and I went twice for our birthdays to Ormer. It was an unforgettable experience. The food is outstanding and better than some food served in Michelin stars. The service was excellent: Matteo was our waiter, he was very professional, kind and very knowledgeable. Speaking to him was a real pleasure. The manager Lorenzo and the sommelier Josè were awesome to. We will come back soon! Thanks!

This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London - incredible food (the tasting menu is amazing) and excellent service (thank you Matteo!)

We were so lucky to enjoy the tasting menu, delicious! The team were very professional, friendly and helpful. A wonderful treat

A charming café with a cozy and artsy ambiance. The baristas crafted expertly brewed coffee and served delightful homemade desserts. The eclectic decor and friendly staff made it a perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon.

This is one of the best restaurants to visit. The ambience is good and the service is also quick. I had salmon,Tonkatsu, Tofu and Macha tiramisu. They all were delicious. The staffs are also friendly and kind. I had an amazing time over there.

Very nice food, very friendly staff, but very expensive.19 pounds for a starter, really??? Ok, very nice location but again too expensive...

A luxurious experience dotted with multiple surprises and flavor combinations to tantalize any palate. Upon entering the warm and welcoming Manetta’s Bar, make sure you try one of their cocktails tailored around famous British Novelists. I chose the Twisted Martini with not only a fabulous taste but so memorable in its artistic presentation. Dinner was a continuation of the same attention to detail and flavors, presented on unique and beautiful porcelain plate ware. Jerusalem artichoke velouté, White Asparagus with Mushrooms, Pigeon and Lancaster Strawberries were just a few of the highlights. Each was paired with a beautiful wine chosen by the Head Sommelier, Sevetiskav Manolev.

Extremely creative and flavor packed tasting menu with impeccable service for only €115

Very professional and friendly staff ❤️, absolutely lovely and impeccable service. Tasting menu and drinks were both absolutely excellent. Will definitely come back again !

Had dinner here for our Anniversary. From the time we entered the restaurant, we had a marvelous experience. The service was attentive without being pushy. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was superb. Lorenzo, the manager was friendly and sought to our every need the tasting menu was the best experience I’ve ever had each course was more delectable than the last. If you eat with your eyes, this is the restaurant to eat in plating was exceptional and served with a flourish that made you feel special. They used all your senses to make the meal a fabulous experience.. We are not really drinkers, but the sommelier was attentive, even to a mid priced bottle of wine. If you have the chance, dine here. You won’t be disappointed.

Since I do not eat meat or shellfish, have lactose intolerance, and am on medication where I cannot have wine, chefs can find feeding me a challenge. But Ormer’s chef, who offers regular, vegetarian, pescatarian and vegan menus, rose to the challenge. Outstanding meal AND service!

The food was cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed this place.

We began our evening at the Ormer Mayfair with martinis in the Ormer bar. We then moved into their beautiful art déco restaurant for a 6 course tasting menu paired with lovely wines. Very attentive and pleasant wait staff. Some of our standouts from the tasting menus were the warm Iberico ham jelly, the cured Cornish mackerel, and the roast Anjou pigeon. Instead of dessert, we had a 14 cheese sampling. The best cheese course we’ve ever experienced. Lovely evening.

We are used to dining in Michelin star restaurant and Ormer Mayfair will definitively be in our top 5 ! We really have been delighted by our experience here, especially the food associations :) Thanks again from France !

We ordered the tasting menu which was absolutely amazing and so innovative. Special mention about the jelly pork which was bursting with flavor, light in the tongue and work of heart to look at! Service was wonderful and very friendly. A young exciting chef that I would recommend!

Excellent service and great tasting menu. We went on a weekday and it was very quiet but the service was excellent throughout.

Service très attentionné, menu du soir varié et travaillé. L’accompagnement des vins était magnifique.

Came here for breakfast with my hubby and cousin. Staff were very welcoming, attentive and caring. Well made breakfast with fresh ingredients and the atmosphere was lovely. I would recommend coming here if you are looking for something a bit more special than your average breakfast place in London. Thank you Ormer.

Cutting edge service, superb tasting menu, insane wine pairing. World class service. Amazing drinks. A well oiled machinery. The kitchen is exquisite. Italian ambiance, Italian quality. If you want beers and burgers this might not be the place for you. Location is splendid, central and...

A wonderful 6 course tasting menu - flavour, texture, presentation, attention to detail, all served by a delightful staff with an understated theatrical flair. A truly memorable evening.

Absolutely stunning food and service. Very impressive 🙏🏻♥️
