May Fair Kitchen

Exterior view of May Fair restaurant and Bar at The May Fair Hotel

Welcome to May Fair Kitchen. An intimate, secluded Japanese izakaya and Italian restaurant experience, hiding in the vibrant hum of London’s most iconic neighbourhood. 

Inspired by the informal izakaya eateries of Japan, May Fair Kitchen’s Japanese menu subtly elevates and modernises traditional moriawase, omakase, sashimi, tempura and robata dishes. Discover an unmissable seafood platter and A5 grade Wagyu, carefully sourced from ethical farms and fishmongers. 

From Puglia to Parma, the Italian menu takes you on a journey through regional Italy. Fresh pasta, stone-baked pizza and grilled specialities are prepared with simplicity and precision, considering each ingredient to bring out the best of their flavours. 

May Fair Kitchen is the flagship restaurant of the award-winning Kitchens brand.
