This was a great place for lunch.
Has this place been shut down I see all the sign age has been removed , will be a shame a rare value place for food in Central London.
Lo bueno, las opciones de menú, el ambiente, la comida en el plato, los cócteles.
El no tan bueno, el tipo de la casa tiene que rondar menos, sólo relajarse. Nos hizo sentir nerviosos.
A Memorable Birthday at May Fair Kitchen
We recently celebrated a birthday at May Fair Kitchen, and everything was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance is elegant and relaxed, ideal for a special occasion.
The food was exceptional — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly portioned. We especially loved the variety of Mediterranean and Italian, inspired dishes, each one crafted with care and creativity.
What truly made the evening unforgettable was the attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make the birthday feel special, even surprising us with a thoughtful dessert gesture that made the celebration even sweeter.
If you're looking for a place in Mayfair that combines fine dining, style, and a personal touch, May Fair Kitchen is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!!
Lo que me encantó de este restaurante es la comida es de excelente calidad y los tamaños de las porciones son generosos, así que una gran relación calidad-precio. Además, el ambiente es tranquilo e informal - se siente íntimo y sin embargo juguetón. Añadido a que el personal es excelente - dirigido por el brillante gerente del restaurante Goran. Unos nombres para felicitar a Egidio, Robert, Valentina, Tatiana y Khalil - el mejor equipo de la ciudad. Muy recomendable.
The food and service were truly impeccable. I have dined here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. I will most definitely be returning. The music of Charles Brel during lunch really was the cherry on top! When I dined here for dinner we went upstairs to the bar which had a live pianist. A true gem!
Especially if you sit at the bar, you can watch the delicious meal I have attached as a photo, being prepared by the team working in a systematic and fast manner… The octopus salad was also very nice…
Sunday roast at Hawksmoor was to be the crowning jewel in our return to London after a whole decade. It did not disappoint.
We arrived a few minutes late to the reservation (we did not account for how crowded Regent St would be LOL) but were accommodated and seated handily by the amazing staff upstairs and down.
My party of 5 ordered some oysters to start, then a couple of ribeye steaks to share between parents and kids, and I had to of course try the roast beef. The oysters were great as a start, brinier than any of the east/west coast Canadian types I'm used to. Served with an excellent mignonette (which I'm sure someone in the back is churning out by hand), they were polished off within minutes. Alongside all of the fixings we had some sodas and myself a couple of selections for whisky - old Scottish names I won't dare butcher in recollection here. The Yorkshire pudding, served with the dripping in a fancy little dispenser, somehow are the part I remember most, but the roast beef was lovely, tender with a ton of beefiness. The steaks, even more tender and done to a perfect medium rare. I was told in Europe a medium rare is a true MEDIUM RARE, possibly pinker than we North Americans are used to. I am happy to agree and enjoy it indeed.
Our server was a gentle giant of a man with a tattoo band around his left arm, and I am sorry but I forget his name - he was just the best. Very accommodating, witty, and great with recommendations but best of all attentive.
We were a hard sell on dessert, but cooler heads prevailed and we enjoyed a clotted cream ice cream, sticky toffee sundae, and the apple mille-feuille, though I could swear they used lemon instead of apple sorbet as the online menu states. Mind you I was a couple of whiskies in at this point. All heavenly, not too sweet but extra creamy in the way British dairy just is (we flew back partly for the milk, seriously).
This was not an inexpensive meal, but it was worth booking well in advance and saving for. Sunday roast, kids. Don't miss it.
Flight and hotel for next year have already been booked, and we will see you again, Hawksmoor. You'll really need to wheelbarrow me out next time.
