Ikoyi

In the heart of Central London’s St James’s, Ikoyi offers a Michelin-starred fine dining experience where contemporary British cuisine meets the depth and vibrancy of West African spice. Founded by Iré Hassan-Odukale and chef Jeremy Chan, the restaurant is celebrated for its constantly evolving tasting menus rooted in British and Irish seasonal produce, layered with fermented peppers, umami-rich sauces, and rare sub-Saharan ingredients. The serene interior design, matched by attentive service, allows the bold flavours and refined presentations to take centre stage. Ikoyi’s culinary ethos is centred on sourcing, creativity, and technical precision, resulting in an experience that is both intellectually curious and deeply satisfying. Praised by the Michelin Guide for its originality, elegance, and expertly composed dishes, Ikoyi has established itself as one of London’s most distinctive destinations for high-end dining. Michelin notes the “visually arresting” plating and a tasting menu that “delivers on every level,” while SquareMeal highlights the “serious flavour punch” and “high-concept cooking with warmth and finesse.” Guests can enjoy the full tasting menu for dinner Monday to Saturday and for lunch Wednesday to Saturday or opt for the shorter £150 menu also available at lunch. With a focus on tasting menus, seasonal produce, and boundary-pushing flavours, Ikoyi is ideal for special occasions, cultural discovery, and those in search of the best that London’s fine dining scene has to offer.
