A focus on the rustic:
Brasserie Chavot
An opulent Mayfair setting with flavoursome French food
DESCRIBED BY THE restaurant critic at The Times, Giles Coren, as ‘the best thing to happen to top-end dining for ages’, Brasserie Chavot’s French-inspired menu is created using the finest produce from the UK and France. A relative newcomer, opened only in March 2013, the restaurant has already received much critical acclaim.
The premises, adjoined to The Westbury Hotel on Conduit Street, Mayfair, are decorated with glittering Petit Trianon chandeliers, huge mirrors, Corinthian columns, scarlet leather banquettes and a mosaic floor: the perfect backdrop for head chef Eric Chavot to serve up his culinary concoctions on exquisite glass and silverware. With a focus on the rustic and regional, these famously include deep fried soft shell crab; snails Bourguignon, meatball and potato espuma; and rump of Oisin venison with honey glazed root vegetables. Trained under Pierre Koffman, Raymond Blanc and Marco Pierre White, Chavot will not disappoint. His first solo venture, Interlude de Chavot, in Charlotte Street, Soho, earned a Michelin star within just ten months. His next restaurant, Chavot on Fulham Road, also held a Michelin star for two years. During his ten year run as head chef at the Capital Restaurant in Knightsbridge, the establishment boasted a proud two Michelin stars.
Prior to opening Brasserie Chavot, Eric spent two years in Florida as consultant chef to the Weston family, owners of Selfridges and The Windsor Club.
