With acclaimed duo, Graziano Arricale and James Hitchen at the helm, their mission is to bring all of the elegance and eccentricity of the original Brasserie - opened in 1976 as a joint venture between actor Michael Caine and the legendary restaurateur Peter Langan - back to the forefront of London culture. Reimagined for a new generation each of the three floors will have its own distinct visual identity. Upon entering, guests are instantly be immersed in a sense of occasion, synonymous with the ambience associated with the roaring twenties; from the bar area with its wall of bottles that stretches up to the ceiling, guests can head beyond the piano and past the bustling dining room to The Raw Bar. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the menu features all of the classics one would expect.With best wishesThe Team at Langan’s Brasserie

My son and two friends went for his birthday. I wrote on the booking form it was his birthday and it was so funny to get a video message with everyone singing to him with a candle in his pudding. They had a great time, so thank you!

Stunning food and lovely service! We were visiting on a very cold day and the restaurant was a little chilly! Halibut is such a treat and was so well cooked but came on a cold plate, we told the waiter and he did apologise that the plates should have been warmed - I’m sure will be easily solved going forward!

We decided to revisit the Dean St Townhouse as he hadn't been for over a year and were looking for somewhere for a New Years Day meal. It was as good as ever. The food was good quality and still had some old favourites on the menu The service was friendly but diligent The ambiance was magical We hope to visit again sooner next time
