Amid Mayfair’s lavish designer boutiques and galleries lies Isabel; a coveted restaurant and bar for the glamorous Londoners. It boasts a celebrity clientele with its famous patrons including the likes of Alicia Vikander, Robert Patterson and Sienna Miller. Isabel restaurant London offers warm hospitality during the day and by night it transforms into the ultimate spot for dinner and drinks with its sophisticated club ambiance. With its impressive A-List clientele, it comes as no surprise that is was named Eater London’s most beautiful restaurant in 2017’s Eater Awards.
A chic wooden hallway opens into a palatial ground floor dining room lit by a myriad of ornate brass lamps. Designed by Santa Cruz, the décor is an opulent mix of chinoiserie and art deco. Isabel restaurant London embodies extravagance with its custom-designed striped carpets; and yellow, ruby and emerald colour tones. The eye is drawn directly to the gleaming central ebony and mirrored bar which is decorated with four scintillating trees. With a backdrop of sparkling bottles of spirits, dapper white jacketed bartenders eptomise elegance whilst crafting some of Mayfair’s most delicious martinis. The beauty of the main restaurant is echoed in the lower level Dragon Room. This is an intimate lounge haunt decorated with a buzzing DJ booth, teal silk brocade walls and a mirrored ceiling. Great music and amazing ambience collide to create the perfect escape for after-dinner drinks with friends.
Isabel’s food and drink menus are inspired by the founder’s travels to South America. Guests should expect to taste the culinary traditions of South American cuisine with its vast selection of Mediterranean small plates. As a light snack with drinks, start with the grilled padron peppers or gordal reina olives. To wet your taste buds before your luxurious main, begin with a half a dozen gillardeau natural oysters for £24 or the £18 hand-dived scallops. For guests that cannot help but choose a pasta, Isabel has a wide selection with one of our favourites being the £18 ricotto truffle ravioli with wild mushroom filling. Grilled main dishes are simply delicious with their Argentinian flavours. Guests cannot go wrong with one of Isabel’s scrumptious fish of the day with wild brill and capers, £38 lamb chops or lightly peppered steak. For those that wish to share a decadent main between a group, the £80 whole Galician rib of beef is an excellent choice. Isabel restaurant London not only delivers luxury with its prime cuisine but also with its wide selection of white, rose and red wines with many originating from Chile, Italy and Argentina. Celebrations are best spent at Isabel with one of their iconic champagnes including their £650 Dom Perignon Plentitude Deuxieme or with their iconic £75 Pouilly Fume Silex; a rich and full red by the glass.
Every inch of Isabel restaurant London is adorned with only the best of elegance and even their bathrooms are luxe with their hand-painted wallpapers showcasing different tropical scenes. For relaxing breakfasts and lunches to electric dinners and cocktails, Isabel transcends as a leading restaurant destination in Mayfair.

What a journey this guy’s been on. I had the chance to sit down with Chef Sameer Taneja, the executive chef at Benares in Berkeley Square. You’d expect a Michelin-starred chef with his CV to be all puffed up with self-importance, but not Sameer. He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]
