Langan's Brasserie · Restaurant · London
Mayfair's art-covered brasserie icon, born 1976 and reborn 2021.
Langan's Brasserie is the storied Stratton Street room that restaurateur Peter Langan opened in 1976 with actor Michael Caine and chef Richard Shepherd, and for decades the buzziest celebrity canteen in London. Closed and dark for a spell, it reopened in 2021 under Graziano Arricale and James Hitchen, who restored the glamour without sanding off the character.
The reason regulars book is the walls. The long ground-floor dining room is lined salon-style with an evolving collection of contemporary art hung frame-to-frame, in the tradition Peter Langan started, and the anchor is David Hockney, who designed the original menus and whose portrait of Langan himself hangs in the main room. Upstairs, the red-lacquered Mural Room bar keeps cocktails and a piano going until late.
The kitchen trades in classic Anglo-French brasserie cooking. The spinach souffle with anchovy sauce is the signature to know, and the house fish pie is the other order regulars reach for; around them sit dressed Devon crab, chicken liver parfait, Hereford beef tartare, and Dover sole. Langan's is listed in the Michelin Guide but does not hold a Michelin star; it endures as a landmark of London dining history, not a showcase for tasting-menu cooking.
Hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM, Saturday 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM, with the Mural Room bar open until 1:00 AM Tuesday to Saturday. It sits a one-minute walk from Green Park station. Dress is smart and jacket-friendly.
