Gaia restaurant in London blends Greek-inspired cuisine and modern luxury. Occupying a prime location in Mayfair, Gaia offers an escape into the warmth and richness of Grecian culture. Spearheaded by restaurateur Evgeny Kuzin and chef Izu Ani, Gaia has successfully established branches in Dubai, Doha, and Monte Carlo. The restaurant features neo-classical elements, including domed arches, Hellenic statues, and blue furnishings against limestone walls.
At Gaia, guests find a display of fresh seafood on a counter, like a Cycladic fish market. The menu boasts refined takes on Hellenistic classics, such as tzatziki, spanakopita, Greek salad, and various seafood. The prawns are cooked to perfection in a wood oven and served in a rosemary-scented, paprika-spicy oil.
Mezze dishes like taramasalata with pita bread, stuffed vine leaves, and prawns marinated in rosemary, harissa, lemon juice, and olive oil are just the beginning. Larger plates include seafood orzo with calamari, clams, and lamb cutlets with tzatziki. The wine list is European-focused, featuring labels from world-famous vineyards, and the cocktail list includes combinations inspired by the Greek goddess of Earth.
The restaurant features a high-ceilinged banqueting hall adorned with marble, mirrors, metal, and enormous chandeliers. The service, with staff performing tasks like slicing moussaka and twirling pasta at the table, adds a touch of deferential theatre to the dining experience. Gaia in Mayfair celebrates Greek culture and cuisine, reimagined for a cosmopolitan audience.

From Michelin Excellence to the Roux Brothers and Pierre Koffmann, Chef Sameer Taneja’s Benares: A Journey Back Home
What a journey this guy’s been on. I had the chance to sit down with Chef Sameer Taneja, the executive chef at Benares in Berkeley Square. You’d expect a Michelin-starred chef with his CV to be all puffed up with self-importance, but not Sameer. He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]
