Review of Kitchen at Holmes in Marylebone

Just a stone’s throw from Baker Street Station, nestled in the affluent Marleybone Village sits a Sherlock Holmes-themed restaurant that invites you to embark on a Mediterranean dining adventure you won’t soon forget.

Offering all day dining with breakfast, à la carte dining, weekend brunch, a weekday set lunch offering, and the Sunday roast menu. If you’re in the mood for something a little more relaxed, the bar and terrace are ready to serve up drinks and light bites with a side of people watching.

With cosy corners, vintage touches, an alfresco terrace overlooking Baker Street and plenty of character, Kitchen at Holmes feels like the sort of spot where Sherlock himself might pause for a relaxed lunch. Leading the culinary team is Head Chef Stefano Motta, whose Mediterranean-inspired spring and summer menu is a love letter to his nonna’s Sunday table in Northern Italy. After perfecting his skills in Italy, London, and New York, he’s now sprinkling Kitchen at Holmes with Italian hospitality and seasonal flavours.

The spring and summer menu showcases Motta’s blend of Mediterranean tradition and modern flair. You’ll find seasonal dishes like saffron fregola with seafood and lobster linguine with sweet tomatoes. The menu is designed for sharing, but the flavours might tempt you to keep everything for yourself. Kitchen at Holmes takes the classic Sunday roast, serving until 3pm on Sundays, and adds Motta’s magic touch and lots of Italian generosity.

We just couldn’t resist so we started with crisp zucchini fritters, seasoned with Maldon sea salt and black pepper, and tasty cuttlefish croquettes with Tabasco aioli (our absolute favourite). The roasted half chicken and 56-day-aged beef rump proved the kitchen’s focus on quality and care. With golden roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, rich gravy, and perfectly risen Yorkshire puddings, the portions were so

generous and delicious that it felt more like a celebratory feast than just a regular Sunday lunch.

We ordered two signature mocktails (The restaurant's spirit-free selection offers plenty of personality). I had the Enola No.2, fruity and tropical, while my dining partner chose the Holmes Made Lemonade with lavender syrup, lemon juice, and soda for a crisp, summery drink. Both

were light, tasty, and well-made, a great way to toast a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

We couldn’t resist the dessert menu-who could? I went for the tiramisu, which was light, layered, and packed with coffee flavour. My dining partner chose the honey cake with vanilla crème anglaise, a creamy, airy treat. Both desserts were light and delicious, making for a perfect

ending to our meal. The food was equally matched by the first-rate service from Glen and Shraddha. Glen's knowledge of the menu and enthusiasm for the restaurant shone through. Shraddha was

attentive, friendly and cheerful as she served each dish, creating an atmosphere that was both comfortable and memorable.

This summer, Kitchen at Holmes is teaming up with Hackney Gelato for a gelato terrace, build-your-own affogatos, and cocktails with a gelato twist. Naturally, we tried every flavour in the name of research. Pistachio stole my heart, while my dinning partner loved Cookies & Cream. Any hope of self-control melted faster than the gelato.

Tucked away just off Greek Street, Soho favourite Kapara is bringing a splash of retro-glam sunshine to central London this summer with the launch of its vibrant new Sun Club terrace. Inspired by the louche elegance of Palm Beach, the transformed outdoor space promises bold stripes, swaying palms, glowing heaters and a healthy dose of playful escapism right in the heart of Soho.

Known for its lively atmosphere and Eastern Mediterranean cooking, Kapara has become one of Soho’s go-to destinations for long lunches, late-night cocktails and energetic evenings that often spill into the early hours. With the arrival of Sun Club, the restaurant is leaning fully into that carefree summer spirit, creating an alfresco oasis designed for golden-hour drinks, post-work gatherings and glamorous nights under the city lights.

In partnership with Chateau GRAND BARI, Stellenzicht Wines and Showerings, the drinks menu has been curated for sunshine sipping. Guests can expect sparkling Barifrizz bubbles, chilled glasses of Thunderstone Rosé and lively Showerings Pet-Nat Cider, all perfectly suited to the terrace’s playful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Executive Chef Eran Tibi delivers a menu bursting with colour and bold flavour, drawing inspiration from his heritage and global influences. Dishes include Rainbow Beets with almond whey, sesame and pickled shallot, alongside Butterflied Bream with lemongrass, ginger and blood orange. Richer plates such as the Not Your Mama’s Moussaka offer comforting depth, while desserts including Pistachio & Turkish Coffee Tiramisu and Basque Cheesecake round things off on an indulgent note.

Bringing glamour, energy and a touch of hedonism to Soho this season, Kapara’s Sun Club terrace looks set to become one of the summer’s hottest reservations.

Address: 13-14 Greek Street, London W1D 4DP
