What: Stem
In a nutshell: Modern British in Mayfair
Summing it all up: Mark Jarvis is expanding his modern British empire by opening a new Mayfair restaurant - the third in the group that also includes Anglo and Neo Bistro.
The low-down
Mark Jarvis's empire building continues with news today that the Chef Patron of Anglo and Neo Bistro is opening a new restaurant in Mayfair.
Having begun in Farringdon with Anglo and then expanded with Neo Bistro just off Oxford Street, Jarvis's third restaurant, Stem, will open in an 18th-century building on Princes Street which is that first road off Regent Street that connects with Hanover Square.
“Stem will be a bit of Anglo heading west to Regent Street - informal, but precise in terms of its modern British food.”
In the kitchen will be Head Chef Sam Ashton-Booth (formerly Head Chef at Anglo). The dishes, worked up by Sam and Mark include:
- Cornish cod baked in lemon verbena, grelot onion, nasturtium and pear
- Smoked chicken tortellini, leek hearts cooked in truffle butter
- Halibut, confit celery, grapes and fish veloute
- Aged sirloin of beef, pickled shiso, cucumber and bone marrow
As for wine - expect an international wine list which is being worked up by the group's Operations Manager Jon Cannon.
The space itself will have room for 35 diners as well as a six-seat private chef’s table on the lower ground floor. All in all - it's going to be another useful pitstop for shoppers in the area.
