Luxury places in Fitzrovia
8 luxury places in Fitzrovia, each one on the Guide on merit.
64 Goodge Street
Bistro · European
A neoclassical French bistro in an old Fitzrovia travel agents, where snails arrive blended into bacon and garlic bon bons.
There is no bar or waiting area, so book ahead, and ask for the window table if you want to people-watch.
Akoko
West African restaurant · African
A Michelin-starred tasting menu that runs West African cooking through French and Spanish technique. Special-occasion food, served without any stiffness.
The short lunch menu is the cheapest way into a Michelin-starred kitchen here.
Bar Kinky
Georgian cocktail den
A basement cocktail den under Kinkally on Charlotte Street, where the Narnia mixes chacha with sagan dalya tea.
Walk-ins only. For a large group, contact the bar first.
Chishuru
West African restaurant · African
London's first Black female Michelin chef cooks West African food that is bold, precise and full of warmth. Small plates made for sharing, in a room that hums.
Book well ahead; the dining room is small and the Michelin star means tables go fast.
DAMU
Spa
A multi-sensory spa ritual at The Mandrake of float, mud caves, sound and light. The kind of wellness splurge you plan an evening around.
Book the Origin Pool or Mud Caves as a timed treatment, and note the two-person rates are better value.
Kinkally
Georgian · European
Contemporary Georgian dumplings and small plates in a room with serious drama.
Slip downstairs to Bar Kinky for a nightcap once you have eaten your fill of dumplings.
Mareida
Chilean · Caribbean & Latin
London's first proper Chilean dining room, coastal cooking with real ambition.
Go for dinner Tuesday to Saturday and let the kitchen steer you toward the starters and pudding.
YOPO
Latin American · Caribbean & Latin
Argentine, Chilean and Peruvian small plates in the theatrically bohemian Mandrake hotel, a hidden, sultry room that reads as a proper date. Style and substance both.
Sit in the courtyard if it's warm and order the ceviche and the empanadas.
