Joe Mercer Nairne, previously chef of Chez Bruce, and David O’Connor, who has managed Chez Bruce, the Ledbury and the Square, opened Medlar in 2011. Their first restaurant received a unanimous thumbs up from critics for the restrained yet perfect execution of its dishes, which have a slight bias towards meat. They received their first Michelin star in 2013.
A combination of muted hues, a mirrored wall, and eye-catching bursts of green on the studded booth seats is daring, but elegant and understated nonetheless. Overall this is makes for a very sophisticated dining experience.
