Mercato Mayfair

I liked this food court mainly for how it looks. Visually, it’s very nice and pleasant to walk through. As for the food, I wouldn’t say it was amazing. The prices feel quite high for what you get, and it can be a bit uncomfortable trying to find a place to sit rather than enjoying a relaxed meal. Because of the price-to-quality ratio, I’d give this place 4 stars. It’s very pretty and, since it’s close to the city centre, it’s worth stopping by to have a look. But I wouldn’t say it’s a must for eating. We tried pasta, pizza, chicken dumplings and katsu curry. Out of everything, the chicken dumplings were definitely my favourite.

I was very glad for the recommendation for the Mercato Mayfair. Definitely reminds me of TimeOut market where there are multiple food providers and a common area for the customers. I love the ambiance as you get to enjoy the stained glass and the structure itself. There are multiple floors in the building so definitely take your time looking upstairs and downstairs. Club Mexicana have great loaded nachos. Crispy chips, zesty pickled onions, creamy guacamole and somewhat spicy minced beef. The margherita from Fresco had a chewy dough, properly charred crust though would prefer more basil leaves. The Dez Amore had good spaghetti and meatballs (the meatballs are small but juicy and flavorful), Bolognese needed a thicker sauce but was good nonetheless and I was disappointed with the rigatoni as that needed 2 - 3 minutes more to cook before being served. There is al dente and there is fighting to chew your pasta. The carbonara itself was good but not up to par due to the undercooked pasta. I would come back here for another flat white from Badiani and sample the desserts, grab a pint of lager, a glass of wine or G&T and hangout for an hour or two.

It is such an original and smart idea turning a church into a place to eat and drink. There is a variety of places for eating and drinking. There are tables to sit, but it might be crowded so you have to be patient. We tastes the bao buns (beef and chicken), which were so delicious, and a burger from the Indian restaurant. We also tasted draft beers from German Kraft. Do not miss trying the tiramisu, which is one of the best tiramisus we have ever tasted. Plus bonus the process of purchasing it.

The church building this food hall is in is really beautiful and leads to a very different food experience. There are so many wonderful food vendors to choose from and lots of seating. It is quite noisy and can get very busy but we didn’t mind that and when we arrived there was plenty of seating. I had a green Thai curry and my daughter had a katsu chicken and then we had the most amazing gelato! All in all a great experience!

A very evocative location; it's a truly unique experience to eat in a deconsecrated church. I tried the freshly made pasta, and it was delicious. There are several stalls worth checking out

It’s true you come here for the vibes and ambiance and not the food. The food isn’t spectacular but somehow dining and drinking in an old church makes it better. Came here on a Friday for some drinks and had a fun night. I would definitely come back.

With all the hype I thought I'll be in for a treat. But unfortunately I was very let down. My daughter had pasta from Dez Amore which was ok. I bought the Thai from at floor. Red flag as I ordered fried rice and was given Pad Thai and I had to wait 30 minutes and there wasn't anyone in front of me. To say I spent £13.50 for a drowned Pad Thai really put me off eating all of it. I won't say for other stalls but this was the worse. Atmosphere was nice and place looked like somewhere I would have loved but unfortunately it wasn't the case.

This hidden gem is an absolute MUST visit. The old church is breathtaking. The market offers a wide range of food and drink options to meet anyone’s cravings. The food was outstanding- we can’t recommend the hand made pasta enough. Even though it’s was “busy” and seems very popular with the locals, we did not battle to get our food quickly, find a seat and enjoy. So much more than other markets in the area… definitely on our repeat visit list ❤️

What a unique venue for a food court. This food hall is located in what used to be a church. There are various food stalls on 2 floors plus a bar in the basement. The food stalls offer a diverse array of international cuisine from ramen, Italian, to Indian and Thai. We tried the spicy beef ramen and it was phenomenal. Super flavorful broth with lots of tensor beef brisket. The tagliatelle bolognese from the Italian stall was excellent as well.this is a must visit for anyone traveling to London.

What an awesome place to visit! This is a large food hall with a lot of different vendors. I highly recommend the handmade pasta and the gelato spots. Wow! A little pricey but worth the money. The seating can be super limited so be wary of when you arrive and if you have a large party then be prepared to share tables with other people or have to wait for space. It can also be quite loud.

Who would have ever thought I'd be fine dining in a church. I really love this place. It's a food hall in a church with so many different things to choose from. Yet I only chose one. The handmade pasta place. I had to do some googling but I believe it's called Dez Amore. My wife and I were hooked. We ate in person once. The other times it was a zoo so we did takeout All together we ate at the pasta place 3x!!! All the pastas we tried .... - Tagliatelle Cacio Pepe (cheese wheel) - Tag with truffle sauce - bolognese - Caserece Carbonara We added porchetta bacon and Parmesan for each plate except the Bolognese. My fav was the Carbonara.

Food hall located inside a church. We arrived here before it started to get busy for lunch. This place offers many food options. There is Mexican food, Italian food, Indian food, pizza, ramen, steak, burgers, lobster rolls, matcha, gelato, coffee, and more. My mom and I opted to try out the nachos from Club Mexicana. We ordered the loaded nachos. This had tortilla chips, ground beef, queso, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, guacamole, chili lime salt and chipotle oil. This has to be the best nachos I have ever tasted. So flavorful. Everything it had tasted perfect. Portion size was good for 2 or 3 people to share. Wished we tried more of the other food here. Will have to do that on my next visit.

Housed in a former Church, The Mercato Mayfair is a food hall on steroids. It's grand, busy and full of so many options. When we walked in on a Friday evening, it was jam packed. There are many communal dining tables and some smaller intimate tables lining the perimeters. You place your order at a food stall, pay and then they give you a light up pager to let you know when your order is ready. There are multiple levels at MM with food stalls. Pretty much anything you can think of is here: Italian, Bao Buns, Ramen, Lobster Rolls...you name it, you can probably find it here. There is also a mezzanine level that has more food stalls, an outdoor rooftop patio, and a cellar. Most of the hall was filled but the cellar level had the least amount of people in it and was really chill. If you want more of a tranquil setting, check out the cellar. We tried the homemade pasta and gelato food stalls. I would say the food was in the 2 to 3 star range. Not the best- but there are so many food stalls, I'm sure there are ones that serve better food. The real draw of Mercato Mayfair is the atmosphere, and in that realm, MM definitely delivers. I would definitely go back to try more of the food stalls and admire the uniqueness the converted church has to offer.

A beautiful church converted to a food hall. Many options to pick from including pizza, pasta, fish and chips, ramen, gelato, pad thai and more. Great food hall for everyone to get what they enjoy! I got the pizza which was pretty good! Some family got the fish and chips and enjoyed their meals. The pad thai was also good.

Food Hall in church building, great gin cocktails. I had ramen and it made me very happy

Old church turned food stall market! Great ambience with a cool and excited buzz. Any option imaginable you can find here in their three story building. Flavor was great on the pizza, pasta, and bao buns we tried.

It was unique experience to be at a bar that used to be a Catholic church. They have kept the altar and key sections of the church. It took a bit of adjustment for me to get comfortable with the idea that the altar was the bar. The place is really nice. The place has a nice old gothic flare that makes the dining experience more enjoyable. We only had dessert during our visit. Hope to have the opportunity to try their other food during our next visit to London.

Casual dining experience in a church is interesting and certainly worth visiting. Every vendor looked delicious but I chose fish and chip place and it was very good! It could get crowded during peak hours but if you come 5pm, you can beat the dinner rush. I would definitely come back here again for a solo travel.

I love restaurants that use contrast! A fall hall in an old church is perfection to me. I had the Bavette Steak from Beast & Field, and I loved it. The flavor and the presentation was excellent. I recommend eating on the roof. It's a hidden gem.

I think this is my favorite food spot in all of London. The atmosphere is unlike any other, and the food selection is remarkable. I have never been disappointed by the dishes I have tried here, and the staff are very knowledgeable. It can be hard to find a place to sit on busier nights, but overall this place is the perfect spot for dinner!

It was an interesting experience to see a church turned into a food hall. If you like crowds and the challenge to find seats, then this place is perfect. We weren't too impressed with the Malaysian Street Food. On our way out, we had match near the main entrance. The first security guard at the door didn't check our bags. However, we noticed that this other security guard was checking bags and asking people to throw out their outside drinks. Interesting.

It's a pretty unique concept - food court inside an old church. We arrived right after their opening time, so it wasn't really busy. Plenty of tables were available. Some of them were reserved for big parties. They have 3 level of foods varies from oysters bar, beef burger, pasta, asian cuisines, gelato,alcohol drinks, etc ... basically, you would easily to find anything to eat here. We ordered a ramen bowl, Thai egg fried rice with prawn and chicken, and Pad Thai prawn. Honestly, we didn't like the food here, but the ambiance was nice. There was staff coming to take your bowl away after you finished. I was very satisfied with the matcha drinks here and gelato. I highly recommend to try the matcha lemonade ( original and yuzu with ginger flavor).

What a beautiful surprise, from the outside you would never know what is going on, on the inside! Mercato Mayfair is housed in the Grade-I listed St Mark's Church! This food hall has it all, it's 3 stories, with everything coffee bar, full liquor bar, gelato/desert, all types of food from different countries, and tables in the middle of the church to sit and look at the beautiful stained glass windows in the church. Definitely a must while visiting London!!!

I love the Mercato Mayfair! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mercato Mayfair, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting, with a perfect blend of modern elegance and traditional Roman Catholic decor. The staff at each stall was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through their menus with genuine enthusiasm.

Can't give it 5 stars because the Manager (didn't catch his name) was SOOO rude!! My friend made reservations for 6 (so crowded it's a must!) and even had to input her credit card # to hold the table. She never received a confirmation email so when we arrived, they said "sorry, we don't know what you're talking about." We asked to speak to a manager but he couldn't be bothered to look into it or offer us an alternative plan. He literally looked at me and said "stop rolling your eyes at me!" Pompous jerk! We eventually found a table upstairs and everyone went to order their food. Whether you want Asian, Mexican, Italian, seafood... it's all under one roof! This is the old St. Marks church and a lot of the decor (stained glass windows and carved wood church organ) are still present which made this a beautiful venue!! Loud and bustling with lots of history!

This is the absolute coolest establishment I've ever been to HANDS DOWN. If you are in Mayfair you need to go. They have every food you could imagine and the aesthetic of the church is awesome. The wine crypt downstairs is great and they even have a rooftop seating area. Tried the pasta spot, ice cream, and bao buns.

Eyes full and mouths full! Jealous for a roof deck table. Loved the vibes and the bao!

Fun trendy food court located in a space that used to be a church. There's a small rooftop and the basement is not as loud as the main area, more like a wine bar vibe. Very cool place!

The only place I would go to in this establishment is the handmade pasta and although their noodles are spot on not all the sauces are.

Found this place accidentally while we were waiting in line next door at the Mayfair Chippy... Saw lots of people going in and out and since we had time to kill, decided to each walk over and grab a drink... liked what we found so much we came back the next night for the full experience! Two stories of food and drink booths, music and shops... a great place to spend some time and fill your belly!

Great ambiance and a wide selection of food and drinks from different vendors. We had the homemade pasta which was absolutely delicious

This place is so rich in history and so many food places! It was an old church turned in to cutest space! It was bustling and busy! Such a good place for dates and groups of you just pop into London! I loved it! German beer Thai food and right next door the best fish and chips. Everyone working seems to be friendly enough and quick with service. There's even a bar with a long table down in the tomb/crypt! I totally recommend this place!!

Beautiful old Church converted into a trendy food court style gathering place. Fun, busy and clean ambiance. You will find the perfect cocktail, beer, wine, coffee, selection of Italian, Japanese, Seafood, Steak/Burger, Malaysian and dessert food options! WARNING: Strict NO outside food or beverages allowed inside! Constant security patrol for enforcement! I had the Prawns from the Malaysian Street Food and really enjoyed the flavours. I wish the meal was a little bit more substantial but felt satisfied. One person in our group tried the Ramen with Fried tofu. The broth was quite authentic Tonkotsu style but ramen noodles and toppings fell short. Expect to pay 10-25£ per plate

While the convenience and excitement of having a good dozen or more restaurants within one straightforward market space was an enticement, I would not recommend Mercato Mayfair... It is as crowded as everyone says, and was wholly overwhelming. My friends and I ended up sharing a table with another party, and my parents ate standing up downstairs! Not ideal in any way. We ordered gnocchi from the fresh pasta stall, since it was the first thing we saw and was an easy crowd-pleasing option. The gnocchi were... a bit less tender than perhaps desired, but they were good! I ate them with considerable pleasure - despite not being able to hear a word my friends said the entire night.

The food an ambiance were five star, but im docking a point for this (and maybe it's just a british thing and i have no idea)... they started clearing people out long before it closed. First you had to leave the terrace (which is lovely and somewhat hidden above the 2nd floor), so we took our food downstairs. Then they said everyone had to leave the second floor. By the time we got gelato downstairs, they were warning people there. It was an odd experience. I didn't understand why it didn't just close at closing time. All that said, if youre going early enough, I definitely recommend the experience. So many choices and seating areas.

In London on business. It was cold and raining, so we did not want to wander too far to eat. This place was a great surprise find. A beautiful setting, (a grand old cathedral), lots of food choices (a food hall/indoor farmers market type atmosphere). All the places are owner operated I believe, so every chef took pride in making great fresh dishes. We started in the basement and ate our way to the top floor. It got fairly crowded as the evening progressed, so I would recommend going a little earlier.

Historic Church turned Foodhall=GastroSanctification Heaven Yes!! A bustling sanctuary with local vibe and mix/match tables, quieter enclaves can be found in the wine cellars below. Upstairs alter views yielded a steaming bowl of sinfully soaked mussels, fresh oysters mignonette, and a righteously grilled sirloin that proved good steak can find its redemption in London.

Food court located in an old church. Unfortunately food does not live up to the hype and is very variable in quality. The ramen place offers a nice salad and the italian pizza are delicious (the dough is really nice and stretchy). The Thai option is just ok while icecream servings are generous (chocolate/pear is excellent). Coffee shop is allright. Place opens early but food served starting 12PM on sunday. Service is efficient and ambiance is very tourist-oriented (ain't we all at some point?). Family-friendly as well.

Re*pur*pose: adapt to be used for a new purpose. This meaning of the term was first thought to be used circa 1984. Well now seems like a pretty solid time to utter it for the first time on Henry's Take, and here's why. The former "tenant" at this location was...St. Mark's Church. Yep, you heard me. Although the church was built 1825-1828, it was deconsecrated in 1974. After a significant period of idleness, followed by a significant restoration effort, the Mercato Mayfair was born in 2019. Sound like an anomaly? Whelp, it just happens to be the only market currently housed in an old church in London. Its current iteration features 2 floors of worldwide food options and a cellar that is worthy of your time, even if you aren't hungry or thirsty. Certainly not your traditional "food hall," it also happens to be dog-friendly and offers live music on Sundays. During our visit we sampled some Italian items from Fresco Pizza Napoletana. Although I (now with some recent hesitation) maintain that, "I'm not a bread guy," the crust featured in both the (Margherita pizza and calzone) were simply excellent. Our visit also resulted in what, I think, is the most unexpected picture that we've ever posted. Please see if you can spot it! As always, your thoughts are welcomed in the comments section below. And that's...Henry's Take. #unexpectedlondon

What an amazing place to grab a bite and a drink!! It was absolutely stunning with a wide assortment of food stalls and mini bars.

Absolutely amazing! A food hall in an old church, just awesome! Walking in, I loved seeing some small shoppes and then moving into the large hall with stained glass windows and all the amazing vibes. Upstairs is a number of fantastic food stalls from lobster rolls to Thai food, you can find it all! In the basement is a cool area with drinks and a bit cooler temperatures. Go here, you'll love it!

A cathedral turned into a foodcourt. Great lively ambience and food. Had a great evening here.

Great atmosphere and decent food! The hustle and bustle mixed with regal elegance made this spot a complete vibe. Would recommend!

This is a must do experience and eatery. St Marks church ceased to have regular mass in the 70s and was deconsecrated in 1773. It is an Anglican Gothic gem of a building which is located in the high end Mayfair area of London. Lots of yummy ethnic food options, trendy and in my opinion a must see, where else are you going to order a pint on an ALTAR?

Such a cool place for a meal! Stumbled upon this and it's an old church converted to a food hall. My daughter and I had an address of a Thai place and we were pleasantly surprised to find it in this venue. Very interesting ambience with an eclectic array of establishments. Oh and the Thai food eas quite delicious!!

What an amazing amazing place. The vibe is extraordinary. It's an old church that is now an awesome food court with an open terrace with delicious food. We tried margarita pizza with seasoning and it was cooked to perfection. It's napoleon style pizza and it's absolutely amazing. Also tried vegan miso ramen with boiled eggs. They have some very amazing chilly oil to go with ramen, highly recommend it. The drink was a new drink I've never tried before but it's perfect for summer.

What a cool spot. Bustling food court in a converted church- becoming a temple of dining! These are not chain experiences, either. Various stalls with wide variety of offerings, including beer, cocktails and wine. Place is absolutely bustling. Only drawback- may have to stalk a table to be seated- so might be hard for a large party. The pizzas are top shelf. Fun- and tucked just off the main streets.

Excellent food and incredible ambience. Lots of great options, we had pasta and wine and gelato and all of it was great! There is even a rooftop where you can get drinks but it's usually busy especially in the summer. My only issue with this place is that since it's an old church and it's busy it gets very hot in the summer.

Overall, great dining experience. The building is magnificent and provides a lot of visual topics for discussion. There is a variety of food and beverage (alcohol / non-alcohol) options. The food was excellent, and we will definitely return on our next visit to London.

We saw this on the Stanley Tucci Show and had to stop in while we were in London. This place if fantastic. We had a Pizza, and Pasta from the Pasta Shop. The pepper and pecorino cheese fettuccini was outstanding. and to top it off a bottle of reasonably priced champagne and don't forget to leave room for Gelato. This is a great experience for a food hall. Must try, and do explore all of the floors. lots to see in there.

Lunch at Mercato Mayfair, recently made famous by Stanley Tucci's episode on Italian food in London. Upscale food court in an old church. Very cool. I had the lobster roll with Padron peppers. Lots of choices for food plus Gin Cocktail and German Beer stalls. Check it out.

Very busy on a Saturday night but good vibe! The pasta place we tried was good. Can't be scared of crowds if you come here. Lots of options here.

If I could give a negative star here I would!! Horrible customer service. Don't go with kuds. We ordered a pizza at Napaliano pizza place and they burnt it and made us wait and didn't replace it!!!! Stay away

We were walking by and saw many people entering and leaving so we decided to check it out. It was the weirdest experience ever! The building is a church and as you walk-in you notice all the small food options you can order. Also, adult drinks. We ordered a pizza, ate, and left. It felt really weird dining inside a church. (I would post a video but does not allow).

Cool place and reasonable prices but was very hot inside which is why it only gets 4 stars from me. Fresh pasta was good but sauce was greasy.

Loved this gem! The vibe and all the different small restaurants were great. Definitely a place to check out if visiting London.

Discovered this remarkable space/food court while visiting London. Set in a beautiful, and respectfully decorated cathedral, the vast space includes numerous pop-up vendors offering an excellent variety of food and drink. Indian, Thai, fresh pasta, coal fire pizza, a raw shellfish bar and South American steak come to mind, as well as a gelato shop. There is also a lovely seated Spanish Tapas restaurant. And of course at least two full bars. Excellent for big groups as you grab what you want and share a table. Also small tables as well for individuals or dates. There is even a rooftop patio. Downside? I was there on a cool, rainy Wednesday night and it was a challenge to find seating. Seating is first-come first serve. Also, the quality of food delivery differs. I received my amazing Indian food very quickly whereas my colleague's steak took a while. One other odd detail: this is a food court. So they don't want other food from outside vendors brought in, and the door man will have you check any food items in their lobby at no charge. Otherwise--an excellent experience.
