The Best Art-Filled Restaurants in Mayfair

Enjoy a spot of artful dining by booking a table at one of Mayfair’s art-filled or design-led restaurants.

Mount St. Restaurant

On the first floor of The Audley Public House is the Mount St. Restaurant which houses more than 200 pieces of art throughout its main dining room and private rooms, including works by Andy Warhol, Henry Matisse, Lucian Freud, Ferdinand Hodler, Peter Fischli and David Weiss. The restaurant’s showpiece is the eye-catching ‘Broken Floor’, a mosaic floor by Rashid Johnson which runs throughout the dining room.   

Downstairs, the art-filled Audley Public House has a rotating roster of artworks, with Phyllida Barlow’s colourful kaleidoscope ceiling installation taking centre stage. Other artworks include Martin Creed’s neon FRIENDS sign above the bar. 

Jamavar

Sited on fashionable Mount Street, Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Jamavar's main dining room is home to Dharitri (Mother Earth) by Jayasri Burman, one of India's major artists. Downstairs in The Game Room, walls are adorned with artwork inspired by Ganjifa playing cards, and a shimmering Paschisi mirror. 

Admire the artwork while tucking into succulent pan-Indian dishes, including creative small plates and signature classics made using fresh local ingredients. Wash it all down with botanical-themed cocktails, including some non-alcohoic options. 

Bacchanalia

Curated by Caprice Holdings' chairman Richard Caring, Bacchanalia on Mount Street boasts four Damien Hirst statues, hand-painted ceiling murals, and 2000-year-old Greek and Roman artworks. 

Taking centre stage is Gary Myatt's floor-to-ceiling interpretation of Romans In Their Decadence, which diners can goggle while feasting on flamboyantly-presented dishes inspired by Greek and Italian cuisine. Don't leave without taking a trip to the wow-factor toilets which boast marble floors, long mirrors and leaves painted on the ceiling and walls.  

The Colony Grill Room at The Beaumont Hotel

For a dose of 1920s New York glamour, head to The Colony Grill Room at The Beaumont hotel, which is dotted with large-scale murals and maximalist artworks. 

The Ivy Asia

Head to The Ivy Asia in Mayfair’s North Audley Street for wow-factor interiors, including a dazzling green stone floor, antique decor and a dining room filed with 12 cherry blossom trees. 

Scott's

Scott’s seafood restaurant has an exclusive private dining room that's been described as "the most expensive restaurant interior in the world" thanks to its art-filled walls. 

The Platinum Arowana Room is filled with £3m worth of artworks by big-name 19th- and 20th-century artists, including Miro, Picasso and Chagall, all of which were handpicked by restaurant owner Richard Caring.
