Three Darlings restaurant in London is a playful and elegant neighbourhood bistro brought to life by chef Jason Atherton and his wife, Irha. Named in honour of their three daughters, the restaurant combines warm hospitality with bold, flavour-first cooking—an homage to family and the joy of sharing a great meal in a stylish and relaxed setting.
Step inside and you’re met with a pastel-toned embrace—velvety pink and green hues, plush banquettes, and ambient lighting set a mood that’s both effortless and inviting. The layout unfolds over two levels, anchored by a glowing open kitchen that glitters with energy. Counter seating and cosy nooks offer a theatrical, intimate dining experience, while an outdoor terrace dotted with foliage provides delightful al fresco charm.
True to its West London roots, Three Darlings is joyously casual. Atherton envisioned it as an “all-day lifestyle restaurant” where brunch conversations lead organically into dinner laughter—a place locals and visitors feel instantly at ease. It’s sophisticated enough for celebratory nights, yet unpretentious enough for spontaneous meetups.
Dining at Three Darlings is part feast, part performance. The open kitchen ensures every sizzle and flourish is on display. The whimsical touches—like soft-serve desserts and bold flavour mashups—bring theatrical delight to every course. The restaurant strikes a gorgeous balance between charm and culinary confidence. It’s simultaneously familiar and adventurous—rooted in British traditions, yet playful and forward-thinking.
Three Darlings Restaurant London Menu
With dishes spanning global inspirations, the menu is a tapestry of British core ingredients dressed in international flair. Octopus with sobrasada and butter bean aioli shows a smoky, textural depth. And yes, there’s a playful dessert twist in vanilla soft-serve topped with caviar—sweet and surprising in the best possible way.
For starters, think wood-fired Orkney scallop with fermented miso Rockefeller-style, or a silky chicken liver parfait served alongside toasted brioche and tangy pickles—decadent but balanced. The char siu Shorthorn beef ribs, laced with Szechuan pepper, deliver layers of spicy-sweet richness. At the same time, the skate wing schnitzel—twisted with katsu curry and lime—offers cheeky brilliance.

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, […]
