Kai Mayfair

Some of London's highest-rated Chinese cuisine is available at Kai in Mayfair, which held a Michelin star until 2025. It's a stylish and upmarket venue with striking art on the walls, metallic details, and fresh flowers. Guests can eat in the main dining room or in the striking and contemporary private dining space. The food here is equally well-presented, giving foodies a treat for their eyes as much as for their stomachs. If you want elegant cooking in an upscale setting, this restaurant is worth checking out.

Lunch, dinner, and a Chinese take on afternoon tea are served at Kai. Cooking here is inspired by the southern coastal regions of China, and respects heritage whilst also offering new innovations. The kitchen uses local ingredients and a range of cooking techniques to craft creative new dishes that draw on Chinese cooking traditions. It's not only savoury dishes that are stars here – the restaurant also places great emphasis on its desserts. 

On the menu at Kai you can expect distinctive options like raw fish salads, soups, and a range of other appetisers. Being inspired by a coastal region, seafood is prominent on the menu but meat and veggie and vegan dishes are also on offer. The restaurant has a considerable plant-based menu so no diner gets left behind. Exotic cocktails and a broad choice of champagne and global wines are available to complement a meal, including wines produced in China. Kai is the place to be for fresh and inventive Chinese meals in a sophisticated setting.
