Reviews Mount St. Restaurant

A beautiful, multi level restaurant with an art focus. The menu is classic but varied, with various caviar, oyster, seafood and meat options. Highlights for us were the lobster pie and beef Wellington. The beetroot tart was technically well curated but not especially exciting. Their soufflé was perfectly made and the chocolate mousse is both airy and rich. The restaurant itself is worth a visit for the building alone- an old building with interesting and striking art. I love the recipe pieces in the corridor. Definitely worth trying if you're visiting London and want a Mayfair dining experience, without the pretentiousness of a lot of Mayfair spots, a bit old school, with creative interior. Yet the staff were very sweet and welcoming.

We came for Sunday lunch and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. We shared the lobster pie for two which is quite expensive for £96 but it was filling and had a generous amount of lobster in it. It is rich but tasty. The side of greens it came with was slightly undercooked and quite average and we also got mash on the side which complimented well with the pie. The cocktail was nice but it was £18, so it's on the more expensive side. Staff were polite, courteous and attentive at all times.

I took my partner here for his birthday breakfast. I loved everything about Mount St restaurant, from the decor to the ambience to the service to the food! Highly recommended for any occasion. We can’t wait to go back for lunch or dinner. This is my favourite place for breakfast in London so far!

Food and venue were fantastic but was let down by the service. Only 4 couples were also having breakfast in the restaurant but for some reason they put us on the worst table right next to the bar/coffee machine. We asked to be seated at a better table which luckily we could. Food was absolutely tremendous! I was still eating my toast while the waiter started clearing the plates. While she had the plates stacked in her hands, asked us if we still wanted to finish the beans - we said no because without cutlery and plates that would have been quite difficult. Then the bill was directly handed to my partner eventhough I had reserved the table and I was paying. On the reservation I also marked that it was a celebration but nobody mentioned anything. I felt for a £75 breakfast (2 mains, 2 coffees and some water), I would have liked the service to match.

A really exceptional experience my first at this restaurant for lunch not long after opening. I came here following a review from the critic for the Evening Standard and wasn't disappointed. Some restaurants can be a tricky when newly opened as they settle in to find their niche, but it's clear that the fine details have been taken care of here across both food, decor and service. The menu is a mix of British classics with inspiration from traditional French menus but manages to combine fine dining with a genuine kind of 'homeliness' to the food and carries off both contrasting elements well. The luxury ingredients are complemented by generous portion sizes for a restaurant in this local. Generosity is abundant elsewhere in the menu e.g. including a truly delicious chicken parfait with caramelised shallots alongside the usual fare of bread and salted butter. The Arnold Bennett omelette was as good as any I've had elsewhere in London. While the pigeons in pimlico main was itself a stand out, the addition of bubble and squeak as a side was a true elevation about the usual chips or purée potatoes. The attention to detail that has been paid to the art on the walls (including originals by Lucian Freude and Matisse among others) is clearly more than just a gimic as the wider decor makes for a very comfortable relaxed dining experience but with the care attention that has gone into the design running throughout and always clear. If I was to nitpick the tiniest of details the only downside was sharing the rest rooms with The Audley Pub below in the basement meant breaking the ambience environment when going there as they were clearly styled to match The Audley more than the restaurant. This restaurant is clearly carving out a niche in the upper end of the market (but distinct from your usual Michelin type places) and with that comes a cost but although pricey my opinion was that for the quality of food, service, ambience and above all location the menu was good value for money. Above all I was extremely impressed by the service. Ondrej is a real credit to the restaurant and based on his knowledge and enthusiasm for the entire area, I'd also add to the hospitality industry as a whole. The enthusiasm from all staff was clear and they seemed genuinely delighted to be working there which isn't always the case even when it appears to be. A testament to how much I rated my first experience despite the restaurant having only been open for a few weeks I have already booked my second visit and can see this becoming a regular favourite.

Many restaurants mix various ingredients to create their dishes, but Mount St Restaurant truly achieves exponentially greater flavors and experiences with their starters, mains and desserts. The ambiance and the location are also hard to beat.

British deliciousness in every bite. The kind of menu that will make me want to go back. Plenty of vegetarian dishes. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having lunch here. It was by far the most memorable meal we have had in quite some time. Aside from the stellar works of art, the food was absolutely wonderful. The staff were also very welcoming and it was just a great experience all around. I will certainly be coming back time and again.
