Restaurants in Mayfair - Four of the Best Eateries in London's Most Glamorous District

Picturesque, prosperous and very, very privileged, Mayfair epitomises the wealthy side of London like no other district. Amongst the glamour and affluence there is an excellent selection of restaurants that dish up cuisine that only serves to affirm Mayfair's reputation as the centre of London class. Restaurants in Mayfair are without doubt some of the most exclusive eateries in London, but delving deeper into Mayfair's streets, mews and avenues reveals some surprisingly affordable meals and deals. Especially when you consider that restaurants in Mayfair are widely considered to be amongst the best in the world. Read on for my guide to the best, most unique, positively Mayfair restaurants to be found in the area:

Scott's

Described by the Guardian as "beguilingly good", Scott's is a seafood restaurant in a league of its own. Originally opened in 1851, Scott's has been reopened and vigorously reimagined by the team behind The Ivy. A favourite celebrity haunt, Scott's reputation as the premier purveyor of fresh, responsibly-sourced fish is reflected in its prices - a three course meal with wine will set you back at least £70 a head.
But you pay for what you get - and at Scott's you'll get some of the finest food of all restaurants in Mayfair, in dazzlingly modern surroundings.

Le Gavroche

Michael Roux Jr lends his talents to this establishment, which produces lavish and tasteful French food that helps Le Gavroche to truly stand out amongst the multitude of restaurants in Mayfair. With an impressive two Michelin stars to its name, Le Gavroche is fine French dining through and through, and its warm and sophisticated decor completes the stylistic equation that begins and ends with the excellent food.
A two-course meal at Le Gavroche will set you back around £100 per person - but bear in mind you'll be paying for the privilege of dining at one of the best restaurants in Mayfair, and possibly one of the best in the world.

Gordon Ramsay

One of the world's most famous celebrity chefs, Gordon Ramsay's culinary empire is represented by his self-titled restaurant at Claridge's hotel. Serving up French cuisine (can you see a theme developing?) in a lavish art-deco setting, Ramsay's restaurant has bagged itself some tremendous reviews for its mix of vintage style and modern takes on classic recipes. Lunch is available from £30 - an absolute bargain compared the most expensive restaurants in Mayfair.

Corrigan's Mayfair

Let's leave France now and hop back over the pond for some quintessentially British cooking. Corrigan's prides itself on its "honest, no-nonsense" food, along with generous portions, so if your idea of a great meal is big, rich and unpretentious, then Corrigan's may be the restaurant you've been dreaming of.
The restaurant is the brainchild of Richard Corrigan, who puts his refreshing take on British cookery down to his upbringing in rural Ireland. Restaurants in Mayfair are about as far from a rustic, country atmosphere as it's possible to get, but from the first taste of the incredible food you'll feel like you're basking in the warmth of a farmhouse fire. With a three-course Sunday lunch available for under £30, Corrigan's offers some of the best value for money of all restaurants in Mayfair.
