About the restaurant
The restaurant was set up by Oliver Milburn, Tom Mullion, and Tim Steele, who named it after an 18th-century courtesan and followed it up with the equally successful Cora Pearl opening in 2018. While it’s known for launching the career of Tomos Parry (who now counts a Michelin star to his name at Brat), the kitchen was most recently helmed by chef George Barson.
While Cora Pearl is all bright and breezy, Kitty Fisher’s feels like heritage Mayfair: wood panelling, dim lights, deep-red upholstered booths and candleholders on the tables.
Food here is largely a mix of classic and modern British: pickled Cornish herring with crème fraîche, Isle of Wight tomatoes with pea shoots, along deliciously simple dishes like lamb with onions. Flavours are always pleasing and often decadent.

Critic reviews
The Infatuation
If a restaurant makes you have a moment like this once then it’s pretty good going.
The Guardian
The restaurant calls itself a “wood grill”, and much of the cooking – from chunks of bread and the Catalans’ beloved calçots to carnal hunks of meat – comes with the kiss of smoke.
Standard
Poor Kitty Fisher’s, currently London’s most clangtastic name-drop night out, has seen almost every foodie face through its doors in Shepherd Market.
The Telegraph
Why the intimate Mayfair classic - and favourite of David Cameron - is still a vote-winner
The Independent
The wood grill is the thing here at Kitty Fisher's and it displays its charms wonderfully (in the hands of Parry and, no doubt, his sous chef Chris Leach, late of the BBQ dons Pitt Cue Co) on humble leeks, here charred and served with goat's curd, brown butter and smoked almonds (£9).
Time Out
Pricey but fabulous food in an atmospheric Mayfair basement named after an eighteenth-century courtesan.
The Nudge
Kitty Fisher was the original Kim Kardashian. Famous for being famous; known for her adulterous affairs; copied in her fashion forays; and lauded for eating a 17th Century £1,000 banknote for breakfast.
