Mister Nice Restaurant and Back Room Club

Oh La La

I absolutely loved our visit to this restaurant where you could be anywhere in the world New York City, Los Angeles Milan Paris you are actually in London and if you spend enough and the maître D likes the look of you, you can gain access through a private door to a swanky next door nightclub labelled the “wine room” Not on the scale of Annabel‘s in Berkeley Square it’s a lot smaller but it’s the kind of place when you’ve got no hope of getting into Tramp on on Jermyn Street it’s good to know about.

The food is rich like the customers and on the menu you’ll find French classics like fois gras brioche and chutney and beef tartare. We had a dozen gillardeau oysters which were nice, not sure the price £90 was justified but hey it was a special occasion. JP Kley has a major sense of humour. He says he wants his guests to feel like they are staring in their own movie. He believes if not why go to a restaurant, believing himself you might as well stay and eat at home.

Its unconvential, the very best thing about this place. It's a surprise. You'll also find his gourmet take on the Big Mac, "the wagyu big mac" It’s not the kind of place to ask for a vegan menu unless you want to get thrown out. There are quite a few choices to build a tapas style plate if you are looking for plant based. pretty much all the sides on the menu except the potato puree which is dripping in butter were vegan.

A relative new comer, to the Mayfair dining scene Mister. Nice opened it doors in January 20 23 offering an all day service and if you like rubbing shoulders with the young movers and shakers, you’ll definitely find them at Mister Nice.

Ask to be seated in the salon “le salon” downstairs, more edgy and late night. The ground floor with it's open plan designed by Victoria Vogel in neutral tones would definitely be fabulous for breakfast or lunch too.

When we were in there so was comedian Ricky Gervais and long term girlfriend Jane Fallon. We were hoping his Marlow in Buckinghamshire neighbours George and Amal Clooney might be joining them for dinner, sadly it wasn't to be.
