01 | The Palomar
Soho | Jerusalem / Mediterranean | Bib Gourmand
£28, 3 courses, Mon to Fri, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Lunch at The Palomar is a counter seat facing a kitchen the restaurant itself calls "a pressure cooker with all on show." The Infatuation's review says "almost all of this fun happens at the bar", and the bread is baked in house every day. The set lunch: three courses £28, Mon to Fri, 12pm to 2.30pm.
02 | Veeraswamy
Mayfair | Indian | 1 Star
£45 to £52, 2-3 courses, Sat to Sun, Weekend Lunch.
Veeraswamy has looked over Regent Street from its first floor dining room since 1926, and is now in its 100th year. For the centenary the kitchen went back to its archive for a Nostalgia Menu, with Anglo-Indian Mulligatawny soup and a Hyderabadi lamb salan from the 1947 menu. Its set lunch is a weekend one: two or three courses £45 to £52, Sat to Sun.
03 | Benares
Mayfair | Indian | 1 Star
£46 to £52, 2-3 courses, Mon to Sat, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Lunch at Benares begins on the way up, past a flower-filled pool and bar, as the Michelin Guide describes the arrival. The menus change with the seasons and set Indian flavours beside British produce, with Welsh lamb masala among them. The weekday and Saturday lunch: two or three courses £46 to £52, Mon to Sat, 12pm to 2.30pm.
04 | Jamavar
Mayfair | Indian | 1 Star
£47 to £54, 3-4 courses, Mon to Sun, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Sixteenth century Kashmiri shawls, woven slowly and with great skill, gave Jamavar its name, and the restaurant draws on the grandeur of Indian palaces. Butter chicken and Malvani prawn sit on a menu that travels from the Mughal north to the coconut and curry leaf of the south. Lunch is three or four courses £47 to £54, Mon to Sun, 12pm to 2.30pm.
05 | Michael Caines London
Mayfair | Modern European | 1 Star
£48 to £58, 3-4 courses, Mon to Fri, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Seasonal British ingredients lead at Michael Caines London, which won its Michelin star in record time. A shellfish bisque and Cornish cod show where the kitchen's attention goes, over three or four courses £48 to £58, Mon to Fri, 12pm to 2.30pm. FACT Magazine said it "feels like you are entering your fancy friend's living room."
06 | Murano
Mayfair | Italian | 1 Star
£55 to £60, 2-3 courses, Mon to Sat, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Murano calls itself "an unbuttoned celebration of Italian cuisine", home cooking given refined technique, and the Michelin Guide sees a "bright, stylish restaurant" on Queen Street. The Guide also says its Amalfi lemon tart "should never be ignored." Set lunch here: two or three courses £55 to £60, Mon to Sat, 12pm to 2.30pm.
07 | Gymkhana
Mayfair | Indian | 2 Stars
£75 to £85, 3-4 courses, Mon to Sun, Lunch 12pm to 2.30pm.
Oak panels, rattan trims and dark wood from floor to ceiling frame Gymkhana, which takes its name and manners from the members' clubs of colonial India. The Michelin Guide points lunch towards the ground floor booths, and Time Out calls the kid goat keema "one of London's great dishes." Every day of the week: three or four courses £75 to £85, Mon to Sun, 12pm to 2.30pm.
08 | Chotto Matte
Soho | Japanese-Peruvian
£14.95, 3-7 courses, Mon to Fri, Express Lunch 12pm to 5pm.
Flame and neon set the tone at Chotto Matte, which pairs Japanese precision with Peruvian flair over a robata grill and a sushi counter in full view. The Nudge says the pisco sours are "still here and thriving." The Express Lunch is three to seven courses £14.95, Mon to Fri, 12pm to 5pm.
Mayfair's set lunch opens Michelin-starred dining rooms
In Mayfair, a set lunch is the way into Michelin-starred dining rooms at a fixed price. At Murano that means two or three courses for £55 to £60. At Gymkhana, which holds two stars, it is three or four courses for £75 to £85.
The pleasure here is ceremony and history. Veeraswamy has served Indian cooking above Regent Street for a century, and at its centenary dinner the waiting staff wore uniforms copied from the 1926 originals.
Indian cooking runs right through Mayfair's set lunches, and each kitchen tells it its own way. Jamavar looks to India's royal palaces, and the Michelin Guide says Benares "marries tradition with daring modernity." Check the days: Veeraswamy's set lunch is on Saturday and Sunday, and Michael Caines London serves its own Monday to Friday.
Soho's set lunch happens at the counter
Soho's set lunches put the cooking in front of you. At The Palomar, which has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2014, the counter faces the open kitchen. At Chotto Matte it is the robata grill and a 3D neon wall that The Nudge says has the venue "feeling fresh, looking young again."
Both are weekday lunches. Chotto Matte's Express Lunch runs until 5pm. For an evening start, see pre-theatre set menus in London.
So pick the area by the lunch you want: a starred dining room with a past in Mayfair, or a counter seat and the heat of the grill in Soho. For more, browse every set menu guide or set lunches in Mayfair.
