Bar des Pres

Bar des Prés: Cyril Lignac's French Japanese table in Mayfair.

The Wagyu Smash Burger and Beef Gyoza are the two dishes reviewers name first at Bar des Prés, Cyril Lignac's Mayfair kitchen on South Audley Street.

Bar des Prés is the London outpost of French chef Cyril Lignac, on South Audley Street in Mayfair. The menu runs French cooking through a Japanese lens: sushi and sashimi sit alongside classic bistro plates, with a wine list built around the pairing. The room is designed by Lázaro Rosa-Violán, open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sunday through to midnight.

Reviewers order the Wagyu Smash Burger, Beef Gyoza, and Crispy Prawn California Roll, and the crab and avocado galette turns up in more than one review as a standout starter. Behind the main room, The Salon offers a private space for group dining off the same French wine list and cocktail menu, for parties who want the room to themselves.
