Mews Of Mayfair

Eat, drink and be merry

You'll hear the buzz from Mews of Mayfair long before it comes into view. On ground level the bar has a small but exquisitely formed cocktail menu, while the first floor restaurant oozes elegance and is decked out in cream leather and appliquéd butterfly wallpaper (one for the ladies, perhaps). The food is firmly grounded in all that's seasonal and British, albeit with some modern twists (try the venison Wellington) or the tasting menu, which takes in the highlights of all that's on offer. In addition, Mews is furnished with a chef's dining room and a basement lounge for private parties to ramp up the exclusive feel - and all without a membership fee in sight.
