Think 70s dinner-party staples sharpened up with premium ingredients: melon ball cocktails served with crab and caviar; a vol-au-vent of chicken à la king on truffled mash; and a retro Arctic roll with strawberry and elderflower sorbet. It’s £80 for three courses, with a wine pairing for another £44. *41-43 Mount Street, Mayfair, W1K 2RX* Visit [MountStRestaurant.com](https://mountstrestaurant.com) [ ![Mount St. Restaurant ](https://media.slman.com/XgtBv_Up9lQDrMfQlasyq4RDocI=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F07%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-mount-st-retro-dishes.jpg) ](https://mountstrestaurant.com/) Mount St. Restaurant ## Watch The Wimbledon Finals ### Everyman On The Canal Outside SW19 itself, Everyman’s al fresco spot in King’s Cross has the closest thing to the atmosphere of Centre Court.
