The Cocochine is an intimate fine dining restaurant at 27 Bruton Place, hidden in a Mayfair mews close to Berkeley Square. The four storey townhouse combines a ground floor dining room, a seven seat chef's counter and a private suite above. Art, craftsmanship and attentive hospitality form the setting for chef Larry Jayasekara's personal modern cooking.
Seasonal produce comes largely from the regenerative Rowler Farm estate in Northamptonshire, while seafood is sourced from the waters around Tanera Island off Scotland. This close relationship with growers and fishermen allows each menu to follow the quality of the available ingredients. Jayasekara's Sri Lankan background also introduces coconut, pandan, tamarind, calamansi and warm spices to prime British produce.
The signature tasting menu can move through Ceylon king crab, hand dived scallop, wild turbot, native lobster and dry aged lamb. Precise sauces, careful grilling and thoughtful contrasts allow the central ingredient to remain clear. A shorter set lunch provides another route into the kitchen, while the chef's table offers a surprise sequence designed as a shared experience.
Desserts continue the dialogue between classical technique and Sri Lankan flavour through mango with chilli and lime, watalappam crème caramel, cardamom ice cream and bright citrus parfaits. Wine pairings and a carefully selected cellar complete the progression of the meal. The combination of assured cooking, rare ingredients and a discreet townhouse setting makes The Cocochine a distinctive Mayfair destination.
