Mareida offers an intimate and atmospheric setting for Christmas parties in Fitzrovia, London, bringing a sophisticated Chilean twist to festive celebrations. Available for exclusive hire, it is ideal for Christmas lunches or dinners with friends, family or colleagues and provides a cosy alternative to traditional turkey and trimmings. Guests can enjoy something a little different and experience the flavours of South America while still feeling festive, warm and looked after.
The interior is dark, moody and elegant with industrial-style ceilings, an open kitchen and wooden tables creating a relaxed, yet refined setting. At the centre of the space sits the striking rock library, crafted from 48 stones hand-picked from a Chilean mine and designed by Macarena Aguilar Izquierdo. This sculptural focal point enhances the restaurant’s connection to Chilean landscapes and creates a dramatic backdrop for seasonal celebrations.
For Christmas parties the kitchen serves a seasonal set menu by head chef Nicolas Einersen, a Chilean chef known for combining Chilean and Scandinavian influences. The festive feasting menu includes lobster empanadas, beef tartare with quince and cured egg yolk and dishes such as cauliflower with potato, courgette and onion chimichurri or the indulgent 45 day aged ribeye steak with carmenere and cream. Sides may feature bitter leaves with pear and carrot or roast potatoes with brown butter and herbs.
Desserts carry the celebration to a sweet finish with options such as rice pudding empanada with quince and cinnamon or the signature Ulmo honey flan with pecan and merken. A curated drinks list featuring South American wines and house cocktails pairs beautifully with the menu.
With exclusive hire, distinctive interiors and a unique festive menu, Mareida offers one of London’s most memorable Christmas dining experiences.
