Celebrate the festive season with a taste of Italy at Angela Hartnett’s Café Murano, where fresh pasta, seasonal ingredients and a warm, neighbourhood atmosphere make for a wonderful Christmas gathering on Dorset Street. Drawing on the traditions of Italian cooking, Café Murano offers a welcoming setting to enjoy the flavours of the season, from comforting pasta dishes and rich, slow-cooked sauces to classic Italian desserts. In Italy, Christmas is all about gathering around the table, sharing good food and spending time with loved ones – an approach that feels right at home at Café Murano.

Christmas at Nobu comes with a distinctly different flavour. The Portman Square hotel is planning festive lunches, celebratory dinners and seasonal menus at Nobu Restaurant, alongside Christmas events and private dining options for larger gatherings. Expect Nobu signatures rather than a conventional turkey-and-trimmings approach, making it a good choice when you want the occasion to feel festive without necessarily eating a traditional Christmas dinner. There are also private dining and event spaces for parties, and Nobu Catering is available for celebrations taking place elsewhere.

Perfect For: Stylish Christmas dinners, work celebrations and something less traditional.

For Christmas with more of a neighbourhood-pub feel, The Hart occupies a characterful corner where Blandford Street meets Chiltern Street. Although the pub itself only opened in 2025, its name reaches back much further: the Hart family ran a pub on the same site in the 1840s. Today, British produce and relationships with farmers are central to the food. That combination of history, good cooking and a proper ground-floor pub makes it particularly suited to the slower sort of festive lunch that begins with one drink and ends several hours later.

Perfect For: Christmas pub lunches, British cooking and small-group celebrations.

Celebrate the festive season at Kitchen at Holmes, where Mediterranean-inspired cooking and a relaxed atmosphere make for a perfect Christmas gathering in the heart of Marylebone. Located on Baker Street, within Holmes Hotel, the restaurant’s sharing-style menu is particularly well suited to festive lunches, group dinners and celebrations with friends or colleagues. For those planning something more private, the hotel also offers a collection of distinctive event spaces, including The Laboratory, a Sherlock Holmes-inspired room featuring Victorian scientific equipment and references to the famous detective. Whether you’re organising an office Christmas party or simply gathering loved ones for a festive meal, Kitchen at Holmes offers a welcoming setting where celebrations can continue from dinner into drinks.

Perfect For: Group dinners, sharing menus and Christmas parties around Baker Street.

For a festive meal with a difference, Hoppers Marylebone brings the bold flavours of Sri Lanka and South India to Wigmore Street. Known for its signature hoppers, dosas, aromatic curries and sharing plates, the restaurant offers a lively alternative to traditional Christmas dining.

Inspired by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, the interiors combine contemporary design with a warm, relaxed atmosphere, while semi-private dining spaces offer options for larger celebrations

The Italian Greyhound on Seymour Street offers contemporary Italian cooking in a bright, relaxed dining room. Rather than trying to reinvent Christmas completely, it’s somewhere to gather over pasta, sharing plates and a bottle of wine — particularly good for those December lunches where the company matters more than ceremony. Its Mediterranean take on Sunday dining also makes it worth considering for a festive weekend get-together.

Perfect For: Italian food, laid-back celebrations and lunch with friends.
