May Fair Kitchen
May Fair Kitchen, Stratton Street, London, W1J 8LT
May Fair Kitchen is an intimate, secluded restaurant in the heart of Mayfair, bringing together two distinct culinary traditions under one roof - Japanese and Italian.
The Japanese menu draws on the informal spirit of the izakaya, elevating and modernising dishes across moriawase, omakase, sashimi, tempura and robata. The seafood platter has become one of the most ordered dishes in the restaurant, and the A5 Wagyu is carefully sourced from ethical farms and fishmongers.
The Italian menu draws on regional Italy, from Puglia to Parma. Fresh pasta, stone-baked Neapolitan pizza and grilled specialities prepared with seasonal ingredients.
May Fair Kitchen also serves a celebrated Champagne Afternoon Tea, created in partnership with chocolatiers Charbonnel et Walker.
May Fair Kitchen is the flagship London restaurant of the Kitchens brand.
