London Fashion Week isn’t just about the clothes. Between the front rows, afterparties, and endless outfit changes, the real power plays happen at the table.
From discreet booths where editors whisper exclusives to late-night temples of champagne and caviar, these are the dining rooms that matter this season.
Here, we delve into "Where to Dine During London Fashion Week 2025", with our top 10 picks.
Langan’s Brasserie: The Fashion Industry’s Living Room
If walls could talk, Langan’s would have its own autobiography. Since the 70s it’s been the chic refuge of everyone from Bianca Jagger to Kate Moss. The booths are plush, the martinis are cold, and the art-covered walls still pull in the crowd that matters. Come for oysters before a show, stay for a cocktail Upstairs when the parties spill out of Mayfair ballrooms.

The Ivy West Street: An Icon That Never Ages
Since 1917, The Ivy has been the ultimate London dining room, blending timeless glamour with cultural cachet. Its harlequin stained-glass windows, shimmering central bar, oak panelling, and bold art collection have set the stage for over a century of power lunches and late-night bites. Seasonal menus and signature classics keep regulars coming back, while the upstairs private dining room remains one of the city’s most coveted tables. Open daily until 11pm, The Ivy West Street is where heritage meets high fashion.

Lita: Marylebone’s Michelin Star Darling
Lita is Marylebone’s most talked-about newcomer. With a wood-fired kitchen, Mediterranean sharing plates, and striking yet relaxed interiors, it delivers effortless style with substance. Less than a year after opening it earned a Michelin star and a place in the National Restaurant Awards Top 100, cementing its status as one of London’s hottest reservations. Cocktails are split into “Garden” (bright and herbal) and “Harbour” (spiced and layered), while the wine list from Head Sommelier Christina Gladilina champions grower champagne, standout Burgundy, and Mediterranean gems.

Amazónico: Where the Runway Meets the Rainforest
If the catwalk had a jungle soundtrack, it would sound like Amazónico. This Berkeley Square hotspot mixes Latin American fire with a fashion-week guest list that reads like the front row. Naomi Campbell, Edward Enninful, and Maya Jama have all been spotted under its lush canopy. Expect Peruvian sushi, Brazilian moquecas, and cocktails that hit harder than a flashbulb.

The Twenty Two: Mayfair’s Most Polished Plate
Tucked inside a Georgian townhouse on Grosvenor Square, The Twenty Two is for those who want their risotto as rich as their guest list. Think saffron-laced lobster, burrata with roasted figs, and a dining room where you’re just as likely to see an A-lister as your PR agent. Michael Fassbender, Rami Malek, and even royalty have slipped into its velvety banquettes.

MR PORTER: The Steakhouse with a Catwalk Entrance
Forget dark leather and cigars. MR PORTER flips the steakhouse on its head with blush pink chairs, soaring ceilings, and a staircase that feels like a runway moment. Yes, there’s steak, but also caviar-dotted carpaccio, charred fish, and cocktails you’ll want to Instagram. DJs kick in at 11, the lights drop, and suddenly you’re in an afterparty that doesn’t stop until 3am.

Bagatelle: Dinner That Turns Into a Party
If you need dinner to turn seamlessly into a dance floor, Bagatelle is your play. By day, it’s Riviera chic with French-Mediterranean plates. By night, the tables practically shake as DJs take over and the room becomes a high-energy clubstaurant packed with models, stylists and those who refuse to go home early. It’s Mayfair glamour on overdrive, open until 1am so you can keep the champagne flowing well past dessert.

Bob Bob Ricard: Press for Champagne, Always
Fashion people don’t ask for champagne – they press for it. Bob Bob Ricard is where old-school glamour meets cheeky indulgence. With its art deco booths, Chicken Kyiv with caviar, and a Flaming Crème Brûlée that deserves its own TikTok, this Soho and City staple has perfected the mix of elegance and excess. It’s dinner, it’s theatre, it’s a button that says you never have to stop celebrating.

Sycamore: Italian Energy in Covent Garden
For something a little more relaxed yet still fashion-forward, Sycamore at Middle Eight brings Italian soul to the heart of Covent Garden. With a brand-new cicchetti menu featuring indulgent crostini, octopus croquettes with smoky pepper mayo, and a Wagyu burger that’s already a headliner, it’s perfect for sharing plates and aperitivo hours. Add in a 150-strong wine list (heavy on Sicilian gems), house-distilled gin cocktails, and live music three nights a week, and you’ve got the buzziest new dining room in WC2.
Middle Eight, 66 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5BX
TOUM: Rotisserie Chic
Open since late 2024, TOUM is already a Mayfair insider favourite. Founded by French-Lebanese restaurateur Tarek Farah (of Aline fame), it’s all about perfectly brined, air-dried rotisserie chicken served with its signature Lebanese garlic sauce. Go quick and chic with Poulet Frites between shows, or share mezze plates like musakhan rolls, roast octopus, and aubergine fatteh. With Paris-meets-Beirut interiors, glowing lamps, and a terrace on Pollen Street, it’s the modern rotisserie reimagined for the fashion crowd.
