There’s a growing appetite in London for restaurants that feel polished without feeling precious, and Labombe fits neatly into that space.
Created by the team behind Trivet, the Mayfair opening leans into confident cooking, generous flavours, and a relaxed approach to sharing plates.
The menu encourages mixing and matching rather than formal courses, making it easy to build a table full of contrasting textures and bold combinations.
Add in the open kitchen energy and a calm, welcoming dining room, and it becomes a place that feels just as suited to casual catch-ups as celebratory evenings.

From Celebrity Hangout To Modern Dining Room
Let the pavement tell a story first – Old Park Lane has seen more flashbulbs than a film premiere.
Step inside and the mood shifts to modern calm, the kind that draws conversation lower and plates closer.
The glow from the open kitchen softens the edges, inviting you to linger.
Labombe turns nostalgia into a smart present tense.
Seating by the window catches Mayfair’s theatre without stealing focus from the food.
Counter spots feel like front row, chefs moving with deliberate rhythm while the room keeps its poise.
Why The Trivet Team Wanted A More Relaxed Second Act
Think of this as a deep breath after a brilliant aria.
Trivet’s precision remains, but the tempo loosens, inviting drop‑ins, snacks, and split‑second cravings.
You feel it in the pacing – a menu built for spontaneity as much as commitment.
The team’s aim is comfort without compromise.
Service reads the table and guides rather than steers, keeping decisions easy.
The second act lands in Mayfair with unshowy confidence, making space for weeknight suppers, celebratory spreads, or a quick plate by the counter.
The Dishes Everyone Is Talking About Right Now
Start with a crunch – bottarga toast that hits savoury, saline, utterly moreish.
Pâté en croûte arrives polished and proud, a slice that convinces you to order another.
Monkfish has fans for good reason, cooked just to that glossy, pearly point.
Mushroom pici hums with umami, while an Iberico pork chop brings gentle smoke and bite.
Save room for butter tarts or a perfect frangipane that lingers longer than it should.
Short menu, big reputation, zero dead weight.
How The Open Kitchen And Wood-Fired Oven Shape The Menu
Follow the ember trail and the menu makes sense.
The wood‑fired oven is not theatre for show; it is the quiet engine.
Fish takes on a whisper of smoke, vegetables sweeten, and chops pick up that edge you cannot fake.
Cooking feels transparent from a counter seat.
You watch sauces tightened, glazes lacquered, and flatbreads blistered.
Timing is everything here, and the plates tell you so – clean flavours, defined textures, no fuss.
Design Details That Keep The Room Polished But Welcoming
Look twice and the quiet luxuries appear.
Upholstery that actually supports, lighting that flatters plates and faces, and tableware with subtle heft.
Windows frame Old Park Lane, but the sightline to the kitchen keeps focus grounded.
Materials lean tactile – polished wood, stone, and muted fabrics that swallow noise.
Nothing shouts, yet everything works hard.
The result is polished without stiffness, a room that suits solo lunches, date nights, and linger‑long dinners.
