Cafés and restaurants in Mayfair

 

Firstly The May Fair Bar is a great place to eat if you would like a casual atmosphere; we would recommend that you try the fish and chips or the steak sandwiches, delicious! You may not think that there are many cafes and restaurants around Mayfair however if you just walk around the corner from the hotel you will see Starbucks and many other great little cafes. Another great place where there are lots of great eateries is on Shepherds Market. This is about a three minute walk away from The May Fair hotel and always has a great atmosphere.
