An absolute 10/10 birthday celebration!
We booked lunch here for my wife's birthday along with our 6-year-old daughter. Fine dining can sometimes feel a bit stuffy, but Pavyllon was the complete opposite. They were incredibly welcoming to our daughter, and the staff even performed magic tricks to keep her entertained at the table, which was a massive highlight and kept her smiling the whole time.
We went for the "Taste of Pavyllon" set lunch menu (£55 per person), which is an absolute steal for food of this calibre in Mayfair. The wine pairing was spot on too.
Every single dish knocked it out of the park:
Starters: The cod starter was wonderfully delicate, and my wife's soft egg with tuna tartare and smoked pike roe was a total standout.
Mains: My roasted lamb chop was flawlessly cooked with an incredibly rich, glossy jus. My wife had the avocado plissé with curry oil and puffed rice, which was super clever, refreshing, and had the perfect crunch.
Desserts: We finished on a massive high. The crisp meringue with praline ice cream and warm caramel was perfection, and the chocolate soufflé was light, airy, and delicious.
The open-kitchen setup added a great sense of theatre to the afternoon, and the service was warm and seamless throughout. Thank you for making her birthday so memorable—we’ll definitely be back!
We had lunch at Pavyllon London and it was truly fantastic.
The service was the best I have ever experienced. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, every member of the team was attentive, welcoming, professional, and genuinely warm. They created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and incredibly comfortable.
Every dish was beautifully presented and, more importantly, absolutely delicious. The menu offers a wonderful variety of choices, making it easy to find something appealing no matter your preferences. We were also touched by the thoughtful complimentary treats from the restaurant, which made our special occasion feel even more memorable.
The combination of outstanding food, impeccable service, and a warm, elegant atmosphere makes Pavyllon a place we are already looking forward to visiting again.

A work of art, without disappearing up its own jus!
I have been looking for a new favourite one-star lunch spot ever since Launceston Place closed and, after this lunch, I think I have finally found it.
Pavyllon has a fabulous location inside the Four Seasons on Park Lane, but the kitchen counter is where you really want to sit. You are right in the middle of the action and get all the theatre of a world-class kitchen without ever feeling as though you are in the way.
The food was stupendous. The Comté soufflé, beef fillet and spicy affogato were all beautifully judged, technically brilliant and, most importantly, properly enjoyable. Some Michelin-starred restaurants can occasionally seem more interested in impressing themselves than feeding you. Pavyllon manages to produce food that is genuinely exciting without disappearing up its own jus.
The service was out of this world. Warm, knowledgeable, attentive and funny, without ever becoming stiff or overbearing. Massive thanks to the entire team and a special shout out to the amazing sommelier, M (don't know if she wants her full name shared here). She guided us brilliantly through the wine and was especially gracious while putting up with a sustained outbreak of my Shanter with far more good humour than it deserved.
What Benjamin and his team have created is a work of art. In the current inflationary times, the set lunch is also exquisite value for cooking and service at this level. I will most definitely be back.

The restaurant is elegant yet relaxed, and the open kitchen creates a really engaging atmosphere where you can watch the chefs at work throughout the meal.
We chose the Immersive Mayfair tasting menu and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The Comté soufflé was outstanding, and the red mullet was another highlight. You can really appreciate the attention to detail in every dish.
What impressed us most was the service. Every dish was introduced with genuine enthusiasm, explaining the ingredients and the inspiration behind it, which made the whole experience feel very personal and immersive.
We also happened to visit during the England vs Argentina World Cup semi-final, and it was lovely to see the team keeping guests updated on the match throughout the evening. It added such a fun and memorable touch to an already fantastic dining experience.
A truly memorable Michelin-starred meal, and somewhere we’d happily recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in London.

Flawless. Has to be 5 🌟
This was our first time dining Michelin Star and it was everything we'd hoped for and more!
Our server, Joe, was fantastic. So passionate and keen to lean in to what was a special treat for us.
We had the set lunch menu "A Taste Of Pavyllon" and I couldn't recommend it enough! Elegant, but accessible, everything was class from start to finish. We were made to feel most welcome and we were looked after so well by all the staff. Hands down one of the best experiences ever.
