116 at The Athenaeum is the contemporary British restaurant inside The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences at 116 Piccadilly. The calm Mayfair dining room overlooks Green Park and provides an elegant but welcoming setting for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.
The menu is rooted in producers and ingredients from Southern England. Cornish shellfish and fish, Hereford beef, cured meats from Islington and fruit and vegetables from Kent allow the kitchen to build dishes around provenance and the changing seasons.
Guests might begin with sourdough, charcuterie or seasonal vegetables before moving to aged steak, a house burger, fish or a carefully composed plant-based dish. Desserts balance a signature chocolate creation with British favourites and lighter seasonal ideas.
Afternoon tea is offered in classic, savoury, vegan and bottomless formats, while the terrace provides outdoor dining beside Piccadilly. Private rooms suit celebrations, and the restaurant team can guide diners through dietary requirements and current ingredient choices.
