74 Duke is a sophisticated brasserie at 74 Duke Street in Mayfair. The restaurant brings French and wider European influences to a polished dining room, with seasonal ingredients shaping a menu that moves easily from a leisurely lunch to dinner and drinks. Its central location and composed service make it equally suited to a business meal, celebration or relaxed evening in the West End.
The opening selection balances richness with fresh, bright flavours. Bluefin tuna tartare is paired with avocado and citrus, while white asparagus comes with cured beef and truffle vinaigrette. Chicken liver parfait, burrata with peach, crisp squid and globe artichoke offer further choices, alongside a goat cheese salad, Caesar salad and a crunchy slaw with cashews and a soy honey dressing.
From the grill, beef fillet with peppercorn sauce and chargrilled chicken with tarragon and Dijon showcase familiar brasserie cooking. Barbecue salmon with beurre blanc, sea bass Provençal and grilled king prawns provide seafood alternatives, while veal cutlets and Wagyu steak bring deeper savoury flavours. Rigatoni in a morel cream sauce and spicy tomato pasta round out the mains, with a Wagyu burger, French dip sandwich and chicken Caesar wrap available for something more casual.
Desserts continue the restaurant's refined but comforting style. Cheesecake with yoghurt ice cream, chocolate and hazelnut cake, crème caramel and rice pudding with salted caramel cover creamy, rich and nostalgic flavours. Brown butter chocolate chip cookies served with banana caramel ice cream make a warm finish, while the wine and cocktail lists allow a meal to continue at an unhurried pace.
