Made tableside so you can watch the prep. The avocado is hand-mashed in front of you, then topped with briny sea urchin and served alongside crispy green plantain chips for scooping. Reviewers highlight the theatricality and the combination of creamy avocado with the salinity of the uni as one of the standout starters.
Tips from diners
This is prepared at your table, so it works as a conversation piece and a good ice-breaker for a group dinner. The plantain crisps are better than tortilla chips for scooping.
The Wagyu arrives on a skewer and is sliced at your table, beautifully rare with a smoky char from the robata grill. At 135 pounds this is the most expensive item on the menu, but reviews describe the presentation and the melt-in-the-mouth texture as a genuine centrepiece for special-occasion dinners.
Tips from diners
This is carved tableside and serves two comfortably. If the full Wagyu is too much for your budget, the rump steak (also carved tableside) gives a similar experience for less.
These cassava-flour cheese puffs are a classic Brazilian snack — crisp shell that gives way to a stretchy, parmesan-heavy centre. Multiple reviewers call them out as the best way to start while you wait for the bigger plates. They arrive warm and are gone in under a minute, so order two rounds if you are sharing.
Tips from diners
Order two portions for the table as a snack while you decide on the rest. They disappear fast and are one of the best-value items on the menu.
A rich, gooey centre of dulce de leche (slow-cooked caramelised milk) inside a dense cheesecake base. Served alongside a small hazelnut financier and a sharp calamansi jelly that cuts through the sweetness. Reviewers call this the best dessert option and say the calamansi jelly is what makes it work, adding a citrus sharpness you do not expect.
Tips from diners
Share this between two. It is very rich and the portion is generous. The calamansi jelly on the side is the key — eat it with every bite of cheesecake.
Carabinero prawns are a deep-red Spanish variety prized for their intense, almost lobster-like flavour. Grilled simply on the robata so the shell chars but the flesh stays juicy. Several reviewers note that these are not cheap but are worth it for the sheer size and sweetness of the prawn. Two per serving.
Tips from diners
These are a premium item but reviewers consistently say they are the best thing from the grill section. Ask for extra lime on the side.
Available Monday to Friday between noon and 3:45pm: three courses for 40 pounds or four for 48. The menu rotates but typically includes a ceviche or salad starter, a fish or meat main, and a dessert. This is the way locals eat here without the full Mayfair bill — you get the same kitchen quality and the same dining room at roughly a third of the a la carte price.
Tips from diners
Book for 12pm on a Tuesday or Wednesday for the quietest service. The set lunch changes weekly and uses the same kitchen as the evening a la carte, just at a fraction of the price.
Opened in 2021 inside a two-storey Berkeley Square townhouse styled as a tropical rainforest with live bossa nova bands and hanging greenery. The kitchen covers Latin America from Peru to Brazil: ceviches and tiraditos sit alongside robata grills and a full sushi counter. The weekday set lunch (3 courses for 40 pounds) is the locals' move for tasting the menu without the full Mayfair price tag.
Book at least a week ahead for Friday or Saturday evenings — tables go fast. Weekday lunches are easier to get and the set menu is excellent value for Mayfair.
The dress code is smart-elegant and they will turn you away in trainers or sportswear. This is Mayfair and the crowd dresses up, especially at weekends.
Order sharing-style rather than individual mains. The menu is designed around a few starters, a robata main, and a dessert per pair. The table gets more variety and the bill stays more manageable.
The bar stays open until 1am on weekdays and midnight on Sundays. After 10pm it shifts to more of a cocktail-bar vibe with DJs — good for drinks but not the best time for a quiet dinner.
