Myrtle Restaurant is the first solo restaurant from Irish chef Anna Haugh, who opened the Chelsea dining room in 2019. The concept combines modern European technique with the flavours, produce and hospitality of Ireland, creating food that feels personal without becoming overly formal. Tucked just off the King’s Road on Langton Street, Myrtle offers a quieter setting than the surrounding shopping district. Its name and identity reflect a desire to share Irish culture through thoughtful cooking and a genuine welcome.
Seasonal Irish produce provides the foundation for the menus, allowing the kitchen to celebrate ingredients from the island through both traditional ideas and contemporary interpretation. Tasting menus give dishes space to develop as a complete journey, moving through carefully balanced flavours while maintaining a clear connection to place. The cooking may be refined, but it avoids unnecessary complication and keeps attention on the quality of each main ingredient. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice, helping more guests enjoy the full experience.
Anna Haugh brings experience gained over many years in respected kitchens in Dublin and London, including work with Derry Clarke, Philip Howard and Gordon Ramsay. At Myrtle, that technical background is joined by memories of Irish food and an interest in the stories behind particular dishes. Her leadership also places importance on developing the restaurant team and inviting their ideas into the work. This collaborative spirit helps the food and service feel alive, considered and connected rather than fixed in a single style.
The dining room balances sophistication with comfort, supported by relaxed service that aims to make each table feel individually cared for. Lunch and dinner can suit a special celebration, yet the atmosphere remains warm enough for diners who simply want to explore Irish influenced cooking in a calm setting. Wine and carefully made drinks complement the seasonal progression of the meal. Myrtle’s lasting appeal comes from this combination of accomplished technique, excellent produce and the generous Irish idea of offering every guest a hundred thousand welcomes.
