Corrigan's Mayfair

There's a hint of the gentlemen's club about Corrigan's. The masculine space features artic-blue leather chairs and banquettes and a discreet hunting lodge theme picked out in details like silver wine coolers with antler handles. But celebrity chef Richard Corrigan's extensive menu is well balanced enough to appeal to both the sexes. Rustic crubeens (pig's trotter) with beetroot and horseradish appear alongside more delicate creations like Cornish crab jelly with melba toast. Although recently opened, dishes such as red wine linguine with bone marrow and pecorino have already become instant classics. With waiters dressed in pristine white jackets patrolling the room and the beautifully set tables, there's a real sense of occasion about dining here.
