Bellamy's - Mayfair

Jet-setting A-list celebs have quickly found there way to this smart new brasserie on the Bruton Place block. It inhabits the highly exclusive shell of Caviar Kaspia, but follows a very different gastronomic path to its predecessor.

Foliage and green canopies mark the spot, and you need to go through the deli - past shelves of foodie treats - to reach the dining room. Arty French posters line the walls, the floors are wood, the banquettes blue. Service is sleek, the atmosphere hedonistic.

The menu deals in well-tried brasserie staples with Anglo-French descriptions: soupe à l'oignon, eggs Benedict, paillard de veau à la forestière, navarin of spring lamb, roast guinea fowl provençale, entrecôte avec pommes frites. Following the rustic Gallic theme, the list of desserts includes road-tested veterans like wild strawberry tart and îles flottantes. The wine list is - of course - 100% French, with a fine range of regional goodies at full-on Mayfair prices.
