Isabel in Mayfair offers an opulent and strikingly designed setting for private events, from glittering parties and product launches to elegant dinners and corporate functions. Set on Albemarle Street, the venue blends high-end dining with bold, cinematic interiors - think silk jacquard wall panels, de Gournay wallpaper and golden hues that glow under atmospheric lighting.
The space is as versatile as it is beautiful. The main dining room, with its rich textures and warm palette, can seat up to 110 guests or host standing receptions for up to 200. Downstairs, the Dragon Room provides a more intimate, lounge-style space with a private bar and vibrant, late-night energy - ideal for after-dinner drinks, private celebrations or smaller business gatherings looking to avoid the boardroom feel. Whether you’re hosting a brand launch or a birthday blowout, Isabel’s layout lends itself to both sit-down meals and more informal, cocktail-led events.
The food is no afterthought. Menus can be tailored to your event, with dishes that fuse European classics with Latin American flair. Starters might include hand-dived scallop with aguachile and samphire, or grilled white asparagus served with hollandaise, blackberries and radish. For mains, there’s the indulgent Champagne risotto made with Acquerello aged Carnaroli rice and finished with Billecart-Salmon Réserve and gold leaf, or a whole Dover sole served with roasted potatoes and extra virgin olive oil - ideal for sharing. Heartier options include a 12-hour slow-cooked beef short rib glazed with bulgogi sauce and paired with pak choi and pickled black radish, or blackened chicken marinated in Cajun spices with a rich carrot purée and chicken jus reduction.
Isabel’s events team are well-versed in hosting high-profile, high-impact occasions, offering tailored planning that covers everything from music and lighting to personalised menus and table styling. Whether you're planning a fashion-forward press dinner, a team Christmas party or a sophisticated soirée, Isabel brings a sense of theatre and occasion to every gathering. With its glamorous setting, central location and refined approach to food and service, it’s one of Mayfair’s most distinctive venues for entertaining in style.
