Our selection of the best private dining venues in Marylebone

It doesn't get more luxe than The Langham Hotel in Marylebone and the main dining room at Mimosa Riviera Cuisine is no exception. Style, poise, and refinement mingle to create a top Marylebone private dining experience with world-class menus and service.

Ideal for a corporate event or celebratory dinner, with a total capacity of 120, your guests will enjoy the elegant surroundings of The Langham and Mimosa's sun-kissed gold and blush dining room whilst sipping fine wines and champagne and dining on Riviera-inspired menus made only with the finest ingredients.

After sweeping Paris by storm in 2021, the Riviera has been brought to London. Nearest Oxford Circus Underground and the heart of Central, Mimosa Riviera Cuisine is one of the finest private dining experiences in Marylebone and, indeed, in all of London.

The Italian Greyhound is a polished restaurant and cocktail bar offering top-quality Italian fare. Modern, understated, and kitsch, the Garden Room is a Marylebone private dining room occupying the entire ground floor of the Greyhound and comes complete with a cocktail bar and French doors that lead to a basement garden.

The seasonal set menus, subject to minor changes due to seasonality, range in price from £45 to £70 per person, available as 3-courses or 5-courses, with classic Italian dishes like burrata for antipasti, pasta dishes such as tagliatelle or seafood like seabream for large plates, and Ligurian olive oil cake for dessert. There is also a £30 cicchetti or canapé menu.

The Garden Room can accommodate 100 guests for canapés and anywhere from 10 to 40 seated guests. The Italian Greyhound offers several private dining setups to accommodate various private dining/celebration needs.

Opso is an ancient Greek word meaning a delicacy or delicious morsel of food and this was the inspiration for the Opso restaurant – to showcase the highest quality Greek ingredients and delicacies through small plates designed to be enjoyed in a laidback atmosphere.

The Larder in Opso is a private dining room that strikes a balance between industrial chic and natural elements such as stone and wood. This ground floor space, which also houses two curing chambers and floor-to-ceiling wine fridges, can accommodate up to 50 seated guests and 75 for a standing reception.

Equidistant to Regent’s Park and Bond Street Underground stations, the Larder is a spacious Marylebone private dining room ideal for both celebration and corporate functions.

We rate Junsei for understanding yakitori and doing it right, namely that the Japanese word describes a style of cooking by skewering and grilling chicken – all parts of the chicken so there’s no waste – over white-hot binchotan charcoal.

Junsei’s long narrow restaurant is minimal and highlights natural elements like light-coloured wood that’s so like yakitori restaurants in Japan. Junsei offers its space in a semi-private half-hire for tables of up to 20 guests for a top-tier yakitori private dining experience.

The emphasis is on the quality of ingredients and unfussy presentation, just quality meat and produce that looks natural on the plate. The binchotan charcoal and its clean burning property with no smoke and no odour leave the food to be enjoyed in all its natural flavour.

Found in the heart of Marylebone Village, Trishna focuses on modern Indian cuisine offered in a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a neighbourhood spot – albeit a polished neighbourhood spot, it is still Marylebone, after all.

This Marylebone private dining room is completely separate from the rest of the restaurant with the wine cellar as the backdrop. The room seats 12 guests in its modern surroundings featuring dark wooden walls adorned in early 20th-century kitschy and colourful Indian prints in a candlelit ambience.

The dishes are bold and full of spice and aroma, these are tapas-style small plates that showcase Indian coastal cuisine. Upscale but still down to earth, the menu here is complemented by Trishna’s impressive wine cellar that focuses on emerging regions and fine wines from niche producers and boutique wineries from all over the world.

The restaurant at Nobu Portman Square offers a slick and swanky private dining room of the quality we expect from a Nobu Hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows and shades of cool blue are complemented by chic minimal decor and Japanese shoji-influenced doors.

The iconic Nobu menu by chef Nobu Matsuhisa is influenced by his years of studying Japanese cuisine in Tokyo and comprises five set menus ranging in price from £110 to £215 per person. For canapé receptions, there are three options to choose from ranging in price from £32 to £40 per person. Expect the highest quality ingredients from caviar to sashimi and wagyu beef.

The private dining room can accommodate 28 guests seated, either at round dinner tables or in a boardroom layout for an intimate and high-end Marylebone private dining experience.

Headed up by award-winning food writer, TV presenter, and journalist Ravinder Bhogal, Jikoni offers seasonal fare in menus inspired by mixed heritage and travels, with tastes of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Britain.

The Pantry Table is a cosy Marylebone private dining room accommodating 12 seated guests among Ravinder’s pantry of spices. Jikoni’s dishes are colourful, rustic in presentation, looking utterly bright and colourful, and full of aroma, flavour, and spice.

It’s the relaxed atmosphere and celebration of flavours from different cultures that we like the most about Jikoni. Its private pantry table, so ideal for sharing plates large and small, makes Jikoni a popular neighbourhood spot.

Around the corner from both Portman Square and Marble Arch Underground, the Grazing Goat is a pub, restaurant, and boutique hotel belonging to the well-known pub collective Cubbit House.

The Grazing Goat’s first-floor private dining room in Marylebone looks out onto New Quebec Street from its four large windows. The space is modern and bright in a neutral palette, refined but still feels homey with little touches of traditional pub elements that Cubitt House is so good at preserving in its many pubs.

The private dining room offers guests an all-day British menu featuring local seasonal produce and a relaxed space for a low-key celebration or event. Light-filled by day and candlelit ambience by night, the Grazing Goat offers one of the cosiest private dining experiences in Marylebone.

The Cavendish pub and dining room offers seasonal menus of refined honest cooking from morning until night and they even offer a menu for your pup. The corner pub feels modern and relaxed while still retaining some old-school pub features we all love and know.

The upstairs private dining room is light-filled with a view of Marylebone’s picturesque streets and comes with its own bar and bartender. The private dining room is ideal for 3-course meals of up to 12 people around one table, or up to 18 split across 2 or 3 tables. For standing events, it can accommodate up to 20.

If you’re after a good ole pub to host a celebration rather than something fancy or overpriced, the Cavendish is a steady choice. We like its relaxed private dining room and the menu of elevated British and European classics made with top-quality ingredients.

The first-floor private dining room at Aubaine is bright and industrial but leans into Parisian salon elements in the decor. The industrial setting with floor-to-ceiling windows makes the private dining room ideal for large parties and celebrations for up to 95 standing guests or 74 seated guests.

Despite its spaciousness, Aubaine still feels laidback and casual, even when the private dining room is done up for a celebration. The menus are contemporary and casual European dishes, and the brunch menu makes Aubaine a great spot if you’re looking for a daytime private dining event.
