Moncks Brasserie, a boutique show-home of a restaurant, is fast becoming a new favourite of Dover Street. Boasting a relaxed aura (thanks in no small part to the soft touch of a garden view — the ferns literally tapping greetings on the windowpanes to idling guests) Moncks Brasserie still manages to hold its own against Mayfair’s spirit of excess.

Named after C.Moncks — treasure hunter extraordinaire and debutante of the Mayfair of old’s versatile crowd of upper-class eccentrics — this brasserie is a treasure in of itself. If you find yourself reluctant to part from London’s most prestigious district, but also don’t want to let go of all your inhibitions, Moncks is the sweet spot.

They had us covered from the morning till night (although the weekend hours are almost as inclusive as the weekend, we recommend taking a Saturday or Sunday outing to really appreciate all of the extraordinary options).
Breakfast was served till 12, recalling those long European dawns of holidays gone by, that seemed to stretch — warm and basking — in a liminal way, straight from the first flare of sunlight. Dawn settled neatly in sweet dapples, darker then lighter, throughout the chequerboard flooring of Monck’s indoor courtyard. The intimate booth seating completed the sense of tranquillity perfectly — leather upholstery in ruby reds reminiscent of classic automobile passenger seats warmed us up perfectly, and made us feel even more a part of a classic, bygone, Mayfair affluence.

Breakfast consisted of eggs and avocado toast with Dorset crab and a Goji Berry Granola with honeyed oats and coconut yogurt for the vegan at the table (the versatility leaves nothing to be desired — we even spotted a full Vegan breakfast — and if it was as wholesome as the avocado toast — no one will be wanting). Pink Grapefruit juice was served on most of the tables, perhaps its something about the boutique surrounding — everyone felt pretty in pink.

The All-day dining aspect is where Moncks really soars — floating seamlessly into lunchtime with a selection of Grills, fresh salads and burgers — (make it hearty with the Truffle Mac and Cheese, or just snack on Jalapeno Peppers with a Butler’s tipple at the bar,if you’re still stuck from breakfast. The pink grapefruit option graduated into a refreshing Miller’s Gin and Grapefruit — and with lunchtime drinks going strong long after the 4:30 mealtime close, Moncks courted us flawlessly through a Mayfair moment. treat yourself with our favourite Vanilla and Lemon Baked cheesecake or simply a standout from the wine options — like the Nyetimber Rose of Sussex; something as quintessentially, cheekily English as this Mayfair rose.

Moncks recommends booking — once you’re there, it will be hard to leave — and we recommend Moncks, for a picture perfect rendering of the elegant neighbourhood brunching that the bourgeoisie once enjoyed daily on that impeccable Dover way.

This amazing restaurant isn’t just on Grosvenor Square. It is Grosvenor square.

34 Mayfair sits on the pulse point of Mayfair and, as we discovered, is cheerfully dedicated to incorporating the vibrancy and complexity of it’s surroundings into every little nook, dish and cranny of it’s chic interior.

For a start, the grassy expanse of the garden square doesn’t stop at 34 Mayfair’s South Audley Street Entrance; the plush carpeting and cushions that adorn select table’s couch seating are alive and in bloom with eye-catching floral print — somehow funky and yet serene.
In the centre of this pristine flowerbed of a venue is an open kitchen, from which an enticing funk of smoke and seasoning enthuses the atmosphere with life. Here, the hefty Argentinean Parrilla Grill (a favourite of head chef Harvey Ayliffe) is firing up the shifting particulars of the seasonal menu all year round, but one thing, we are sure, holds true: the selection of meat, game, fish and vegetables that emerge from the fire could provide for every idiosyncratic soul in Mayfair.

An extensive wine selection can not be forgotten, sequestered as it is beneath bold neon lights at the restaurants boutique bar — but it was the bounteous barbecuing that really thickened the blood and warmed us from the inside out. For meat-lovers, 34 Mayfair restaurant could not offer more; rib-eyes from Scotland, Grass-fed Angus sirloin’s from Argentneia, a fillet prepared Japanese Wagyu style, or a spiced grill of Moroccan Lamb that melts into’s its smoked harissa coat perfectly. A selected Market fish on the bone keeps things fresh, and it was the vegeatarian options that truly blew us away — char-grilled chipotle avocado and toasted quinoa transformed a batch of mellow nutrition with an inferno after-kick.

But the diversity of it’s menu doesn’t mean Ayliffe and 34 Mayfair have let go of their grassroots. The history of Grosvenor is between the bricks, an echo of culture that this fine venue makes its bread and butter. Just peruse the Cocktail menu to see what we mean: each unique invention hearkens back to a year of note in London’s past — from the steps of Mick Jagger to Napoleanic rumour. We recommend the Three Kings Yard Fizz, which transforms the Italian Embassy’s delicately manoeuvred lease of British property at the square into a moreish hodgepodge of Euro-Anglican flavours, from the Italicus liqueur to the pomp fizz of vanilla prosecco.

34 Mayfair restaurant may be a landmark of its place and time. It so succeeds because it recognises the beautiful malleability (all those changes) that are borne on the movement of time. This restaurant makes art of remembering (there is truly a drink for every year) and forgetting (an ever-changing menu promises only to be as enjoyable as the last). Long may it continue.

(And make sure to celebrate your own time in true VIP style with the restaurant’s delightful 34 club special: champagne and a delicatessen chocolate finish cake served to anyone who turns up for their 34th birthday).
