I booked a table at Silva in Bruton Place for my partner’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Tucked away in a quiet Mayfair mews, Silva is beautifully elegant without being over the top—thoughtful service, fine china, and an atmosphere that feels both special and relaxed.
We started with warm sourdough and honey butter, then shared a gorgeous stracciatella with caramelised peach and hazelnuts, and a stunning crab raviolo in langoustine sauce. My wild garlic risotto was fresh, vibrant and full of flavour, while the halibut was tender and perfectly balanced with sauce vierge. The sides—especially the rosemary roast potatoes—were exceptional.
Even though we were full, we couldn’t resist dessert. The chocolate fondant with stem ginger ice cream was divine, and the Basque cheesecake was one of the best we’ve had. Cocktails and mocktails were beautifully made, with unique flavour combinations.
The interiors are warm and stylish, with cosy seating for two and a few tables spilling onto the cobbled street outside. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a romantic dinner, special occasion, or even a business lunch. Silva is a true gem in Mayfair—refined, welcoming, and absolutely worth discovering.
