For a festive season filled with flavour, warmth and togetherness, Myrtos in South Kensington offers a Christmas celebration that’s anything but ordinary. Helmed by Michelin-starred chef Asimakis Chaniotis, this refined Greek restaurant transforms traditional holiday dining into something truly memorable, blending the rich culinary heritage of the Ionian with London’s effortless sense of style.
Whether you're planning a corporate Christmas lunch, an intimate festive dinner with friends, or a full restaurant takeover for a special seasonal soirée, Myrtos provides a setting that feels both exclusive and inviting. With interiors that reflect understated luxury and an atmosphere rooted in philoxenia – the Greek art of hospitality – your party is guaranteed to feel thoughtful, personalised, and deliciously unhurried.
The menu is designed for sharing, bringing people together over seasonal Greek classics with a contemporary twist. Start with festive bites like sourdough bread baskets, taramosalata and spicy tirokafteri, followed by elegant raw dishes such as Carlingford oysters or pink bream with orange and hand-harvested sea salt. Mains are equally celebratory, think grilled octopus with fermented cabbage, Welsh lamb belly skewers, and rotisserie chicken with avgolemono rice.
For larger gatherings, Myrtos offers generous sharing plates like salt-baked Kefalonian sea bass, grilled lamb chops with coconut tzatziki, and whole lobster giouvetsi, perfect centrepieces for a festive table. Pair it all with Greek wines and low-intervention bottles, or add a pre-dinner cocktail reception to toast the season.
The team at Myrtos will help curate your event from start to finish, with tailored menus, table layouts, and optional restaurant exclusivity available. It’s a space designed for celebration, elegant but warm, sophisticated yet relaxed, and filled with the kind of food that encourages guests to linger just a little longer. This Christmas, gather your colleagues, friends or family at Myrtos, where the spirit of the season is served with Greek soul, award-winning cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality.
