Inspector comments
"Vibrant and exciting food in Mayfair."
Overview
In the heart of Mayfair, Sketch (Lecture Room & Library) occupies a building that started life as a private residence before being home to various societies and institutions including balloonists, psychologists and the HQ of the Suffragette movement. An 18th-century Grade II listed townhouse, step inside and you are greeted with a feast for the senses. A theatrical explosion of orange, purple and crimson makes this an unforgettable spot for innovative cooking, backed up by exemplary service. Provocative and skilful, the food is overseen by celebrated French chef Pierre Gagnaire and produced by head chef Daniel Stucki and his team.
