Mayfair

If you're as terminally online as we are, you might have recalled a TikTok earlier this year in which an American expat was bemoaning the lack of good chopped chicken Caesar wraps in London. That got a quarter of a million views, which in turn prompted hospitality folk Mairi and Marius of about-to-launch CZER to think maybe there's a business idea in that.

As Mairi explained to Hot Dinners, "We first started building the concept for CZER in January after I had a craving for one of these wraps so badly, but they just didn’t seem to exist here." But it was the TikTok that pushed

A few years back, we reported on the impending arrival of Mykonos restaurant Nammos, which was supposed to be heading to Knightsbridge. Now it turns out that those plans have changed and the restaurant is instead coming to Mayfair. 

They'll be taking over from Il Borro on Berkeley Street and are planning something subtly different to their Mykonos

A modern Indian restaurant that started life in Dubai (before opening in Mumbai too) is coming to London. 

Trèsind describes itself as a "modernist Indian dining experience", so it's a high-end affair. The Dubai menu features dishes like scarlet prawns crudo and A5 wagyu striploin pathar kebab. However, it seems that they're doing something a little different in London. 

In Mayfair, it will be a tasting-menu-only affair. Overall, the menu is led by Tresind's Chef Himanshu Saini, while the kitchen in

 We love a clever brand activation here at Hot Dinners, and the folks at fashion house Louis Vuitton have been busy over the past few weeks creating a very special pop-up for Londoners. The Louis Vuitton hotel is opening for business today on Berkeley Square and will be open to visitors for the next two months.

The couturier has used the 130th birthday of the brand's iconic monogram this year as a reason to go big with celebrations. To that end, they've taken over a whole house in Mayfair that used to be home to the private members' club Morton's.

It's been a while since The Wolseley Group's last opening, which was The Wolseley City back in 2023. But now they're getting ready to open their first London hotel, and it's going to be part of their brand new Colbert Collection. 

Called The WestDill Mayfair, the hotel is opening on Piccadilly, in a space that's almost directly opposite The Wolseley (and is somewhere that Jeremy King was once rumoured to be taking over a few years ago). It's

After nearly four years, Bar Des Pres is on the move. It's staying within Mayfair, though, just moving from Albemarle Street to South Audley Street. 

Taking over the space that was once Socca, this gives Cyril Lignac's restaurant a light-filled corner space. If you went to Socca in the past, you'll see that they've also dramatically changed the room, adding a large counter seating area (which was always one of the highlights of the Albemarle Street location). Meanwhile, the back area of the restaurant, which was always a tricky space to fill given that the main restaurant was

The latest addition to Mayfair's restaurant alley, Bruton Place, is a Greek restaurant offering true hospitality. We visited Maza Mayfair to see why they're already a hit.

Early last year, Miller Prada left Humo somewhat unexpectedly and the restaurant somewhat struggled since, eventually losing its Michelin star earlier this year. Now the same group is getting ready to relaunch the restaurant as Igni, this time led by ex-Cycene chef Theo Clench. Clench was responsible for getting Cycene its Michelin star, so he'll definitely be looking to get one for Igni too.  

It doesn't sound like there will be much change to the room itself. Humo was a beautiful restaurant dominated by a long kitchen counter with lots of fire-led cooking and it sounds like that

For their third London restaurant, Berenjak have opened a very glamorous restaurant in Mayfair. We went down to check it their latest location and to see what's new on their Persian-inspired menu.  

We reported on this one way back in June 2025, but now it's being confirmed, Mazi is coming to Mayfair - although this outpost will be called Maza. 

It's been over a decade since Mazi opened its doors in Notting Hill. The refined Greek food restaurant by Adrien Carre and Christina Mouratoglou has since spawned sibling establishment Suzi Tros, also in Notting Hill, and this central London opening will launch in the old Pizza Express building opposite The Guinea on Bruton Place. The space, you may remember, was briefly taken over by the Guinea during Covid and used as the Guinea

What was the big Ruya site on Upper Grosvenor Street, next to Corrigan's has been taken over by the Thesleff Group. They're behind Los Mochis in Notting Hill, Sale e Pepe in Knightsbridge (and now Marylebone) and the Juno and Luna omakase restaurants.

This latest opening will be a brand new Japanese restaurant for them, called MA/NA, which they say "combines contemporary style and traditional Japanese techniques". In charge of the food here will be Executive Chef Leonard Tanyag (who also looks after the menus for Los Mochis,

After an initial small opening in Soho back in 2018, Berenjak really has hit the big time of late. Along with their Soho and Borough Market restaurants, they also have openings as far afield as Doha and Dubai and recently opened their first US restaurant in LA. We've known about their next London opening for a while, and now it seems they're finally getting ready to open the doors in Mayfair. 

The Mayfair restaurant (opening in a new development which hasn't been a restaurant before), takes up two floors. It'll be their

When you learn that the duo behind new Mayfair bar Brutes have an absolute ton of restaurant and bar experience between them, it's perhaps no surprise that they've managed to feature every current bar and snacks trend in town. But a proper look at what they have planned for their Bruton Place bar shows that they are intending to take almost everything to the next level.

While everyone else is doing martinis, Brutes goes one further with a martini card that allows you to pick your base spirits, the style it's served (dry, wet, dirty and - a new one on us - brutal), plus the

Japanese handroll restaurant Temaki opened in Brixton in 2021 and quickly found a dedicated following. However, all good things come to an end and they closed up in Brixton last August, and went on the hunt for a new central London location. They've now found just that, thanks to help from The Crown Estate. The new Temaki will be launching on Maddox Street in Mayfair, taking over a space right next to Maddox Gallery and a few doors down from Patara. 

Not surprisingly, Temaki focuses on the Japanese handrolls of its title,
