Kitty Fisher's

The West End


Taking pride of place in Mayfair’s 18th-century Shepherd Market (historically one of London's red-light districts), this cosy dining room is named after the 18th-century courtesan painted by Joshua Reynolds. Now a handsomely furnished, twin-roomed restaurant, it serves quality British fare such as monkfish with cauliflower and curried butter, or partridge with celeriac and pickled pear. The wine list is excellent.
