Three Michelin stars upstairs, a pink fever dream downstairs, and nobody leaves early.
Mayfair, London · ££££


Mourad Mazouz and Pierre Gagnaire's Mayfair townhouse, home to a three-Michelin-star dining room and a handful of eccentric bars and lounges. The place for a client dinner that rolls into an after-party, all under one gloriously theatrical roof.
“There's a sense of theatre to every element of Mourad Mazouz and Pierre Gagnaire's 18th-century house of fun.”

Private dining and events are arranged through sketch's in-house team; the building's separate rooms allow a seated dinner and late drinks to run in sequence without changing venue.
