ROKA Mayfair

You're walking into serious money territory on North Audley Street, and Roka doesn't apologise for it. This is where the open kitchen theatre matters as much as what lands on your plate—the robata grill is the main event, with chefs working over flames with the kind of focus you'd expect from a Michelin kitchen. The dining room itself has that understated luxury thing down: all dark wood, spotlit counter seating, and enough expense-account types to remind you that a single skewer of A5 wagyu costs what most people spend on lunch. Expect to pay properly, but the precision is undeniable.
