Marylebone on a Plate: The Best Restaurants to Try in W1
Tucked away just a short stroll from the chaos of Oxford Street and the buzz of Soho, Marylebone feels like London’s best-kept secret—especially when it comes to food. This effortlessly elegant neighbourhood may be known for its Georgian townhouses and boutique shops, but make no mistake: Marylebone is a major player on the capital’s culinary map.
From sizzling Sri Lankan street food and legendary Neapolitan pizza to Michelin-starred menus and charming Viennese cafés, the area is packed with flavour, style, and seriously good vibes. Whether you're after a laid-back brunch, an indulgent date night, or a spontaneous dinner with friends, Marylebone caters to every craving and then some.
And the best part? If you're staying at one of our Central London Apartments or City of London Apartments , you’re perfectly placed to dive fork-first into everything Marylebone has to offer. It’s just a short ride—or a scenic stroll if you’re feeling ambitious—from either location, making it the ideal area to explore during your stay.
So, if you’re hungry (or just like planning your day around food—we see you), here’s our guide to the top restaurants in Marylebone right now. Get ready to drool.
Hoppers
Hoppers brings bold Sri Lankan and South Indian flavours to the heart of Marylebone, with a menu that’s fiery, fragrant, and endlessly satisfying.
Signature dishes like the bone marrow varuval, black pork kari, and egg hoppers (those crisp, bowl-shaped pancakes) are built for sharing—and trust us, you’ll want to try a bit of everything.
The interiors are inspired by Sri Lankan transport stations, giving it a buzzy, informal vibe that’s perfect for everything from date night to group dinners.
Delamina
Delamina is one of those places you stumble upon and then dream about for weeks.
The menu, inspired by the owners’ Israeli and Middle Eastern heritage, celebrates earthy flavours, grilled vegetables, and slow-cooked meats with a light, modern touch. Expect dishes like charred aubergine with tahini and pomegranate, lamb koftas with labneh, and cauliflower roasted to perfection.
The interiors feel like a chic Tel Aviv apartment—warm, layered, and intimate—and the cocktails are as thoughtfully crafted as the food.
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele
If you believe pizza is a religion, this is your place of worship.
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele is a Naples institution that’s gained worldwide fame (yes, this is the one from Eat, Pray, Love ), and now it’s landed in Marylebone. Expect chewy, blistered crusts, rich tomato sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella that melts like a dream.
The menu is refreshingly minimal—Margherita, Marinara, maybe a few specials—and that’s the beauty of it.
Fischer’s
Fischer’s is a time capsule of a restaurant, oozing all the romance and ritual of a grand Viennese café.
The menu is heavy on schnitzels, bratwurst, chicken paprikash, and potato salad, with sweet treats like sachertorte and apple strudel to round things off. Think dark wood panelling, brass fixtures, and waiters in waistcoats.
It’s the kind of place where you linger over a coffee and pretzel roll, or pop in for a hearty lunch on a rainy London afternoon. Utterly transportive and delightfully nostalgic.
Granger and Co.
Founded by Aussie chef Bill Granger, Granger & Co. brings laid-back luxury to Marylebone’s brunch scene.
Think fluffy ricotta hotcakes, crab toast with lime and chilli, and creamy scrambled eggs that are the stuff of legend.
The atmosphere is breezy and bright—sunlight, blond wood, friendly service—and the menu offers something for everyone.
