Latine Mayfair restaurant in London is Mayfair in its most self-aware mood: tucked into a cobbled courtyard, dressed for dinner, and not especially interested in understatement. The idea is French technique with Latin American soul. In practice, that means ceviche with leche de tigre, escargots with chimichurri butter, boeuf bourguignon folded into tacos and sea bass finished with ají amarillo beurre blanc.
It could have been a gimmick. Occasionally, it gets close. But the best dishes have enough wit and polish to justify the concept. Come for seafood, cocktails and a dinner that can slide quite naturally into a late night upstairs.

What Is Latine Mayfair Restaurant in London?
Latine is a French-Latin restaurant set across several levels in Lancashire Court, a historic Mayfair mews just off New Bond Street.
The restaurant is led by executive chef Francisco Lafee, whose CV includes El Celler de Can Roca and Central. That background explains the menu’s polished international ambition. This is not a casual ceviche-and-steak place in Mayfair clothing. It is more mannered than that.
The restaurant’s own language talks about classic French structure meeting Latin American expression. The best dishes make that idea feel natural. The weaker ones risk sounding like a diplomatic summit between sauces.
The Atmosphere and Design
Latine has the advantage of location. Lancashire Court already feels like a little Mayfair stage set, with cobbles, brickwork and the sense that someone nearby is about to order Champagne without checking the price.
Inside, the restaurant moves between terrace, crudo bar, main dining room and upstairs lounge. The mood is refined rather than minimal. It wants to be elegant at lunch, then more animated after dark. La Candela, the first-floor lounge, is the late-night move. DJs, cocktails and Champagne give the restaurant a second gear, which makes Latine useful for dinners that are not meant to end politely after dessert.
The Menu
Seafood leads the menu. Sea bream tiradito comes with coconut leche de tigre, roasted avocado and mint. Sea bass ceviche adds passion fruit leche de tigre and popcorn. Hamachi gets pineapple aguachile and sweetcorn blinis, while tuna appears as carpaccio with lime, yuzu, coconut cream and jalapeño oil.
The French-Latin idea is clearest in the starters. Boeuf bourguignon becomes a taco with pickled pineapple and sweet potato purée. Escargots arrive with chimichurri butter and brioche. Pão de queijo is filled with Camembert. Duck croquettes come with guava and chipotle chutney.
Mains are richer and more direct. Wild sea bass with ají amarillo beurre blanc is the most elegant order. Bouillabaisse is reworked with halibut, prawns, cockles and ají panca rouille. Beef fillet comes with Périgord sauce and dark chocolate, a dish that sounds theatrical but fits the room.
For something lighter, the grilled hispi cabbage with Peruvian curry sauce and Comté does more than simply accommodate vegetarians.
Drinks & Wine
The drinks programme is central to Latine’s identity. The cocktail list leans into Latin American brightness, while the wine list is designed to move between classic regions and more distinctive discoveries. This is a restaurant where a quick dinner can become Champagne upstairs with very little resistance.
Who Is Latine Mayfair Best For?
Latine is best for diners who want Mayfair glamour with a little more colour than the usual French dining room. It suits dates, celebratory dinners, client entertaining and drinks-led evenings that need somewhere polished to begin.
It is less suited to purists. If you want classic French cooking, go classic. If you want traditional Latin American food, go elsewhere. Latine works best when accepted as a hybrid.
Is Latine Mayfair Worth Booking?
Yes, if you want a glossy Mayfair restaurant with seafood, cocktails and a lively after-dinner rhythm. The concept is not subtle, but it is clear. Some dishes read slightly overworked, as if two cuisines were asked to share every plate. Still, the stronger ideas have charm. The crudo bar is useful, the room has energy, and La Candela gives the evening somewhere to go after the bill.
Book for dinner, order seafood first, and do not pretend the upstairs lounge was not part of the plan.
