74 Duke

Walking into 74 Duke, you're immediately struck by how unfussy the whole thing is. This corner of Mayfair could easily disappear up its own nose, but instead you get warm, intelligent service and a dining room that feels genuinely excited to have you there. The kitchen takes classical technique seriously—think precise, beautifully plated food—but there's a generosity of spirit running through every dish that stops it from feeling austere. It's the sort of place where you can dress up or not, order the tasting menu or pick and mix from the à la carte, and feel equally at home either way.
