The Square Mayfair Review
Rating: 8.5/10
Chef: Phil Howard
Style: Modern French/European
Location: 6-10 Burton Street, London, W1J 6PU (Green Park – 10 minute walk)
Awards: 2 Michelin Stars
What I Wore: Navy Dockers, White RL Shirt, Grey Brooks Brothers Blazer, RL Pocket Square, Suede Loafers with Tassels, Red RL Socks.
Notes:
The last time I went to The Square was in 2008, the same year AA Gill gave it 10 out of 10 – no mean feat. It was good then and in terms of food it has got even better in my opinion.
£80 for three courses from the carte. Some dishes carry a supplement. Or tasting menu £105 without wine, £175 with.
What I ate;
Starter: Terrine of Chicken, Foie Gras and Truffle
Main: Ox Cheek
Dessert: New Season’s Yorkshire Rhubarb, Mascarpone Jellies with Rhubarb Juice and Sauternes
What I drank: 1996 Château Palmer
All very, very good, especially the dessert. One of the best dinners I have had in London for a long while. The wine was outstanding, as you would expect for the price. How they can call Palmer a Third Growth is beyond me.
The atmosphere isn’t the best – too many suits and couples sat in silence (as with most places in Mayfair) – but the room still has a good feel to it. Service was excellent from start to finish.
If you get the chance I would definitely recommend that you go. And be sure to dress well, it’s a smart place.
