Are These London Restaurants Worth The Hype? - London - The Infatuation

"The Verdict: Heinous—and that’s just the egg-shaped toilets. Sketch is one of the most famous restaurants in London by virtue of its toilets, which sums up everything you need to know about this substandard Mayfair restaurant. Its starred upstairs dining room is OK but The Gallery room is the one most people flock to. The food is experimental in a rummage-through-the-fridge-at-3am type of way and, typically, charges you an arm and a leg for the displeasure. As far as waste-of-time dining experiences in London go, this is the worst." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"We have a feeling Love Island producers scan the Instagrams of potential contestants for a picture of them sitting in the famous blush pink room of this larger-than-life Mayfair spot. But the pink has now turned yellow, those Love Island contestants have got back with their high school sweethearts, and Sketch is still the same overpriced, overhyped spot with a loosely French-influenced menu that you’re not there for. Because if you come here it should be to get a selfie in those egg toilets and look out for newly famous people on the hunt for a Pretty Little Thing deal." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"In 2022 artist Yinka Shonibare and designer India Mahdavi joined forces to unveil a striking new look and colour palette for this enduringly fashionable and efficiently run restaurant. The menu is equally original, mixing the classic with the esoteric. Afternoon tea is also a big hit with the bright, young things, who flock here with their cameras at the ready." - Michelin Inspector

"Despite looking like Willy Wonka’s 18+ playpen, the upstairs at Sketch isn’t bad. Lots has been said about this multi-restaurant Mayfair spot, not all of it good, but here the kookiness is just right. For example, a server will carefully and wordlessly portion and serve a cracker using a fork and spoon. It’s silly, especially in a room that looks like a melted pack of Smarties. Food-wise, it’s OK. There’s some good experimentation in the French dishes, and then there’s some champagne poured straight from the bottle into your sauce. But you can’t say it’s lacking personality." - jake missing, sinead cranna
