Expert Review for Park Chinois, Mayfair

Step into Park Chinois and be transported to a 1930s Shanghai soirée, where art deco glamour meets Parisian chic. The lavish interiors—crimson velvet booths, gilded accents, and moody lighting—set the stage for a dining experience that feels both decadent and intimate. The menu, a masterful fusion of Chinese tradition and French technique, dazzles with standouts like the lacquered Peking duck, its crackling skin glazed to perfection, and the ethereal black truffle xiaolongbao, bursting with umami-rich broth. Don’t overlook the miso-glazed black cod, a buttery revelation balanced by zingy pickled daikon. Even the cocktails, such as the smoky Chinois Old Fashioned, are crafted with theatrical flair. Live jazz and cabaret performances amplify the seductive ambiance, making dinner feel like a night at a speakeasy—if speakeasies served dim sum alongside Dom Pérignon.

While Park Chinois unapologetically leans into indulgence (portions err on the refined side, so order generously), every penny feels justified. Service is polished yet warm, with staff guiding diners through the expansive wine list and off-menu treasures like the salt-baked crab. The sommelier’s pairings elevate dishes without overshadowing them, while desserts, such as the jasmine-infused chocolate fondant, offer a sublime finish. Yes, it’s a splurge—but one that marries culinary precision with unbridled hedonism. Ideal for celebrations or when you crave a meal that’s as much about atmosphere as it is about taste, Park Chinois is Mayfair’s answer to timeless elegance, where every bite feels like a secret worth savoring.
