Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay London

Lucky Cat sits on the corner of Grosvenor Square. The space acts as a departure from the traditional grand rooms that define this pocket of Mayfair, trading expected formality for a Japanese-inspired fusion menu and an interior that runs smart and elegant.

The draw here is the wine program, which holds a World’s Best Wine List Award for the best short list in the region. While neighboring venues rely on the weight of their heritage to pull in regulars, this spot succeeds by keeping the cellar focus tight and under two hundred bottles. It is a ten-minute walk from Bond Street, making it a better choice for those who prefer a sharp glass over the sprawling, unmanageable lists found at the older institutions nearby.
