Rosi at The Beaumont Mayfair

For nearly a decade, The Colony Grill reigned as The Beaumont’s flagship restaurant. But where there was once rich leather and mahogany, Rosi brings a softer energy: a pastel-hued, art-filled reinvention that glows with warmth and understated elegance. At the helm is Lisa Goodwin-Allen, the Michelin-starred chef of Northcote, who brings her signature comfort-led nostalgia to this artsy space.

The decor is undeniably half of the draw: blush-pink banquettes curve around marble-topped tables; gentle edges are offset by brass detailing; and a diffused glow floods the room, with mood lighting set to a low dim. From the moment we step inside, it’s Luke Edward Hall’s dream-like artworks that grab our attention. These murals - all bold brushstrokes and abstract forms - breathe life into the walls, adding a touch of whimsy to the otherwise pristine dining room. Service is professional and astute, as would be expected, with no glass left unfilled, and a sommelier who confidently guides us throughout the evening.

Goodwin-Allen's menu nods to the past, reimagining 80s dinner party nostalgia through a modern lens. We start with hash browns - perfectly cubed and golden, their salty crunch cut through by the sharp kick of a pickled walnut ketchup. Elsewhere, cauliflower cheese bites ooze with molten comfort, dusted with parmesan and dipped into a truffle mayo that delivers on pure indulgence.

Rosi shines brightest in its moments of theatre: an old-fashioned pork pie is ceremoniously wheeled to the table and sliced before our eyes. The pastry is beautifully bronzed, the filling dense and meaty, and layered with jelly, throw in a punchy piccalilli and it’s the picture of nostalgia.

The menu continues with an array of exceptional comfort foods which on their own would probably leave many a punter more than satisfied. A chicken Kyiv is perfectly tender, its delicate golden crumb giving way to an avalanche of truffle-laced garlic butter, whilst a steamed lamb pudding is pure comfort, tender meat and soft veg encased in a suet shell, finished with a meaty jus poured tableside.

Rosi already feels as if it’s lived a thousand lives - it's a timeless space with a menu that's confidently rooted in the classics. Prices match the Mayfair postcode, but if you’re looking for old-school comforts, Rosi more than delivers.

Lisa Goodwin-Allen, famed for holding a Michelin star at Lancashire’s Northcote for over two decades, Obsession food festival, and countless other collaborations and innovations, leads the vision at Rosi. The flagship restaurant of The Beaumont Mayfair, a five-star art deco modernist hotel on Balderton Street, Rosi reflects Goodwin-Allen’s signature approach: skilled technique, bold flavours, and creative confidence ultimately rooted in British tradition, both old and modern.

This ethos is visible from the interiors alone. Dressed in inviting pastel greens and pinks, with rich wood finishes and gold accents, it has the feel of a glamorous dining destination. But thanks to plush seating, tactile features, and colourful artworks depicting relaxed diners, there’s a sense of ease about the room.

Working alongside executive chef Brendan Fyldes and executive head chef Jozef Rogulski (formerly of The Game Bird at The Stafford London), the Rosi menu is all about reimagining British favourites with creativity, wit, and a little tableside theatre - with particular attention to seasonality and provenance. Think starters like dry-aged beef tartare, and showstopping mains such as chicken Wellington with sherry sauce, and sticky lamb belly with sun-dried tomato and beech-smoked anchovies. 

Desserts come with a side of theatre, including a tableside build-your-own sundae and a flamed seasonal sponge. The Mayfair millionaire’s tart, meanwhile, offers a nod to the affluence and prestige of the local area, and the wine list and cocktail offerings are sure to include some top-shelf options alongside more approachable classic tipples.

The Beaumont is also home to cocktail bar Le Magritte, named after the surrealist artist whose Le Maitre d’Ecole painting hangs above the bar, so if you have the time either side of your booking, we’d recommend stopping by for a cocktail (or two).
