Mayfair
About the restaurant
Amazónico London, situated in the heart of Mayfair on Berkeley Square takes inspiration from the cultural diversity and gastronomic heritage of the Amazon region. Open from lunch until late, discover an immersive environment of rainforest-inspired lush greenery and natural materials.

Combining a blend of tropical and Latin American cuisines, our menus are not only inspired by the countries of the Amazon, but the unique Asian and Mediterranean communities which inhabit them. From Peruvian sushi and the freshest raw seafood, to carefully sourced grilled meats and fish; our chefs use both traditional and cutting-edge techniques along with seasonal and vibrant ingredients to transport you to Latin America.

Our live bands play each evening in the main restaurant, whilst our resident DJs spin ‘elec-tropical’ sounds in our Bar & Lounge, as well as our destination Cocktail Bar, OCTO.

The brasserie is inspired by the 19th-century poets who used to meet on Old Compton Street and features art-lined walls, a brass bar and mosaic tiled floor.

Head outside and dine al fresco for views across Soho or join us at the bar everyday from 3pm for live jazz.

Last minute decision to eat here before a show across the road. We both had the pre theatre show set meal - Bavettes/Frites, Strawberry tart, crème brûlée and a glass of house wine - £28. It all was excellent, no waste! They happily substituted the wine for a lemonade for my daughter, this looked and tasted homemade. There were slices of baguette and butter as an appetiser. The bavettes both medium rare just as my 16 year old daughter likes hers - so much better than a certain steak house we ate at a couple of weeks ago near London Bridge! The service was outstanding, all polite and welcoming. We will be back in the summer.

This is the original Hard Rock Cafe in London and we’ve been to a lot of different ones all over the world, but the one beats them all in authenticity and fantastic energy from staff, and the ambience of the place is second to none. To top it off having live music was an added bonus. Made our experience better than ever. Service from start to finish is fantastic and the good just how it should be, tasty and well presented and definitely great value for money. Would definitely be returning when we return to London. Recoup everyone.
