LPM

Hidden in a quiet mews at 53-54 Brooks Mews behind Claridge’s, LPM London (formerly La Petite Maison) opened in 2007 as the flagship of a brand inspired by the original Nice venue. It channels the light, fresh essence of French Mediterranean cuisine with Niçoise roots, emphasizing seasonal ingredients prepared simply yet precisely. The concept has expanded globally to Dubai, Miami, and beyond, but the London original remains a benchmark for its consistent sharing plates and Riviera spirit. Without current Michelin stars, it earns loyalty through reliable execution and a focus on Provençal classics updated for modern palates. In Mayfair’s polished dining scene, LPM attracts groups for leisurely meals, including bachelor parties that appreciate the fluid transition to cocktails in the bar area.

The interior evokes Côte d’Azur ease with crisp white linens, marble accents, pale walls, and artwork that nods to southern France. A triangular layout flows around a zinc bar, with a small terrace for warmer days adding outdoor appeal. Tables suit pairs or larger parties, while the room starts bright for lunch and softens into evening warmth. Conversations stay comfortable early, growing lively as the space fills on weekends. Staff offer informed suggestions on portions and wines, pacing service to encourage sharing and lingering.

Sharing defines the menu, with dishes arriving as ordered. Starters include warm prawns in olive oil, scallop carpaccio, or burrata with tomatoes. Vegetable options feature French green beans or ratatouille. Pastas range from homemade gnocchi with cherry tomatoes to truffle variations. The standout whole roast black leg chicken (around £150, often for sharing) marinates in Amalfi lemon for tender, citrus-infused results. Other mains encompass côte de bœuf with potato galette (£155), daily fish at market price, or escargots. Desserts provide warm chocolate mousse or lighter fruit finishes. The Tomatini cocktail—tomato, balsamic, vodka—pairs seamlessly.

A shared dinner with drinks typically costs £150-250 per person, reflecting premium produce and the focused wine list heavy on Provençal rosés among Mayfair’s French restaurants.
