Located in the affluent English Mayfair block, along Conduit Street specifically, is the posh and extravagantly designed Sketch. If you do a quick search of Sketch restaurant reviews, you’d immediately know one of its strongest selling points: It’s awarded three Michelin stars. Created by restaurateur Mourad Mazouz, it’s also the only restaurant in the whole United Kingdom to ever get a taste of Pierre Gagnaire’s adventurous menu.

In case you aren’t aware of it, Gagnaire is a Parisian chef whose flagship restaurant in the French city also has enviable three Michelin stars. As he now runs various restaurants across the globe, Sketch has been entrusted to chef Johannes Nuding, who served as the head chef of Gagnaire’s Moscow restaurant.

Here’s a quick review of Sketch’s popular menu and aesthetic is indeed worth the splurge.

Food For People With Adventurous Palate

This flamboyant building houses a casual restaurant and a bar on the ground floor. Upstairs is its flagship restaurant that earned Sketch its coveted Michelin stars — the Sketch Lecture Room and Library.

They have full a la carte and epic eight-course tasting menus, filled with unique dishes for meat and seafood lovers and vegetarians alike. In addition to these, they also offer the more budget-friendly Gourmet Rapide set lunch on weekends. They host dinners from Wednesdays to Saturdays.

Like the restaurant’s elaborate interior elements, its menu also features subheadings that will pique your attention (for instance, "Sea Garden").

But beyond what’s written on their menus, they serve dishes that do excite especially those who have an adventurous palate.

One of the things that they’re most popular for is the langoustine five-way starter. They also have an indulgent grand dessert, which features beautifully prepared and equally tasty miniature delicacies (including a small tall bowl of peach and vanilla cream with blackcurrant at the bottom). Another exotic offering off their menu is the green pepper ice cream — which features a coconut cream underneath for a fantastically sweet surprise.

If you read sketch restaurant reviews, you’ll be more familiar with how many of their patronisers wish that their portions could have been more generous. Nonetheless, this is well compensated by the quality and taste of the dishes themselves.

Another great thing about it is their celebrated international wine list. It has around 1,200 bins — a wide-ranging option that guarantees you that there’s always something to complement your food.

If you’re wondering whether to splurge or not when you visit the Sketch, the answer is simply yes. Their masterfully created dishes, especially when eaten in a lavishly stylish space, offer a unique dining experience that’s truly one for the books.
