Maset is a French Mediterranean restaurant located at 40-42 Chiltern Street in Marylebone. It occupies a ground floor unit on a street known for independent shops, cafés and restaurants. The restaurant has a light, pared-back interior, with pale wood herringbone flooring, whitewashed walls, simple wooden tables and light brown banquette seating. Natural light enters through the front windows, creating an environment suited to both daytime and evening dining. The design is understated and functional, focusing on clean lines and a calm atmosphere.
The kitchen draws on the cooking traditions of southern France, particularly those of the Occitan coast, while also incorporating influences from neighbouring Mediterranean regions. The menu is divided into merenda, starters, main dishes, sides and desserts. Items under the merenda section include snacks such as bouillabaisse croquettes. Starters and mains cover seafood, meat and vegetable dishes, including handmade spinach linguine with pistou, monkfish cooked on the bone with preserved lemon and lamb cutlets with salsa verde. Ingredients familiar to the region, such as olives, herbs and Camargue rice, appear across the menu. The overall structure maintains a balance between coastal influences and contemporary presentation.
The drinks list features wines from France, Italy and Spain, chosen to complement the cooking. Cocktails and simpler bar drinks are available for guests visiting for lighter meals or drinks without a full dining commitment. Service operates through lunch and dinner during the week and at weekends, making the restaurant suitable for casual meals, business lunches or longer evening visits.
Located in Marylebone, Maset sits within a residential and commercial area that attracts both local diners and visitors. The restaurant’s design, menu structure and restrained aesthetic align it with the broader group of neighbourhood restaurants offering European cooking in central London. Its focus on the flavours and ingredients of southern France provides a clear culinary identity without relying on ornate design or elaborate presentation.
