Lilli by Akira Back is Montcalm Mayfair’s Michelin-starred restaurant, where Korean-inspired cuisine, seasonal produce, and Japanese precision come together in a sophisticated Mayfair setting. The all-day menu is designed for sharing and features chef Akira Back’s signature dishes alongside vegetarian and vegan options, making it a top choice for fine dining in London.
Examples of starters include Akira Back’s famed Tuna Pizza, finished with umami aioli and white truffle oil, alongside lighter, fresher options, such as yellowtail with yuzu soy, micro coriander and tomato salsa. For main course, premium meat and fish dishes are the star of the show, from succulent miso black cod to 48-hour wagu short rub cooked in its braising juices. Sides complete the meal - think fried rice, edamame in kimchi butter and indulgent potato puree. Dessert is by no means an afterthought. The menu at the time of writing features baked Alaska with raspberry cream, and chocolate tart with salted caramel ice cream.
Guests can also enjoy the Into the Garden afternoon tea, a luxurious, imaginative experience inspired by Georgian botanicals and Constance Spry (a florist and culinary pioneer who transformed British dining by pairing food with flowers). Signature highlights include matcha opera cake, dressed crab brioche rolls, and a contemporary take on the Coronation chicken sandwich. It’s one of the most unique afternoon teas in Mayfair.
At Lilli Bar, inventive cocktails take inspiration from English gardens, with bold flavours and an Asian influence. Above, a dramatic ceiling mural by artist Will Foster evokes an ethereal garden, creating one of London’s most iconic cocktail bar experiences.
