KAYU Mayfair

You're on Curzon Street in Mayfair—where most places try to fleece you with tired luxury—and here you stumble into something genuinely exciting. KAYU brings serious dessert credentials to a neighbourhood that's forgotten how to have fun. The kitchen clearly obsesses over technique and flavour in equal measure, crafting plates that look like they belong in a gallery but taste even better. Whether you're after something architectural and contemporary or craving something with real soul (their Indonesian influences are no accident), there's a rigour here that feels refreshing in Mayfair's stuffy postcode.
