The Verdict
Pavyllon London is Yannick Alléno's modern French restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, in Mayfair. It opened on 1 July 2023 and won a Michelin star in the 2024 guide, which it has held through 2026. The format is a counter overlooking the open kitchen, plus tables and a terrace, with the day-to-day kitchen led by executive chef Benjamin Ferra y Castell.
The cooking is precise modern French with global accents: the curry man'ouché with herb salad, black garlic and pistachio is a £22 signature, alongside a seared monkfish tail in marbled beurre blanc. Tasting menus run £98 for the four-course Mayfair menu and £148 for the six-course Pavyllon menu, with a £55.50 set lunch and a £70 Michelin-starred breakfast tasting.
The Kitchen
The restaurant carries the name and style of Yannick Alléno, one of the most Michelin-decorated chefs in the world, with the kitchen run day to day by executive chef Benjamin Ferra y Castell. Signature plates include the £22 curry man'ouché and a seared monkfish tail with marbled beurre blanc and wild garlic. The four-course Mayfair menu is £98 and the six-course Pavyllon menu £148.
The Room
Pavyllon sits on the ground floor of the Four Seasons at Park Lane, off Hamilton Place in Mayfair, built around a counter that faces the open kitchen, with a dining room and a terrace alongside. The counter seating makes it as comfortable for a solo diner or a pair as for a quiet business table, with a calm, polished hotel setting.
Best for Impressing a Client
For a client lunch or dinner, Pavyllon offers a one-star kitchen, a Mayfair hotel address and counter seats that let you watch the cooking without the formality of a grand dining room. Book the four-course Mayfair menu at £98, or the £55.50 set lunch for a lighter occasion, and you have a calm, impressive table.
Not For
Pavyllon London is not for a large celebratory group or a budget evening. It is a counter-led, prix-fixe restaurant inside a luxury hotel, so it does not suit a noisy party of ten or a guest looking for a casual à la carte meal at a low spend. A quieter pair or small table fits it best.
Reservations
Pavyllon London takes reservations online and books out for weekend tables, so plan ahead. Tasting menus are £98 for the four-course Mayfair menu and £148 for the six-course Pavyllon menu, with a £55.50 set lunch and a £70 breakfast tasting. It sits inside the Four Seasons at Park Lane; smart dress suits the room.
