Bar des Prés Mayfair is chef Cyril Lignac's first international opening; an evolved version of his original restaurant in the Saint-Germain neighbourhood restaurant in Paris.

Behind the deep blue facade, a chic, charming space spread across two floors. The restaurant boasts a cosy ambience, take a seat within the velvet booths, or at the Italian Giallo Real marble counter, where our expert Bar team combine Parisian signatures with London favourites.

Taking inspiration from the esteemed restaurant in Paris; Chef Cyril Lignac’s menu has seasonality at its core, effortlessly combining French know-how with modern Japanese individuality and techniques.

Nestled below the restaurant, the Lounge provides a vibrant space for pre or post-dinner gatherings and casual suppers, with a live DJ performing every Thursday – Saturday from 6pm.

    When I book a table I expect to have a table and not the bar - they barely apologized … we walked out

    The waitress overheard it was my friends birthday and had a dessert on the house sent over. Very thoughtful and above and beyond. The food was amazing as usual.

    Been there few times and really enjoyed. This time however, we were seated downstairs, the service was terrible. Food good as always but the service level was disgraceful. We were waiting forever for the waiters to serve us

    Just experienced a despicable treatment of racism from the staff at bar des pres. I had made a booking from the app for a table at 7pm, only to be escorted to a sushi counter, despite the restaurant being empty. After complaint, we were ushered to a table at the back of the restaurant, very much hidden from everyone else. After a while, another Arab group were seated next to us, which only confirmed that this was a deliberate act of discrimination. This is super disappointing albeit suprising given that I am a frequent customer. Not sure if there has been a change of management, but if there is and this continues, Arabs should spend their money elsewhere.

    The food was excellent, some of the best sushi dishes we have had. Just such a shame that a lovely venue like this surviving food of such quality was so quiet on a Saturday lunch time

    The restaurant has a very strict 2 hours for one table policy. After 1 1/2 hours the waiter started to push us to leave soon as the table is booked for the next clients. The next guests did not show up for that time but the waiter insisted and gave us an other 30 minutes. We felt not much welcomed. The restaurant should offer the front table as a compromise. Especially when it is an expensive restauarant you do not want to be limited with the duration of your dinner.
