Lucky Cat, Mayfair - Review

Now if you want to pull out all the stops and impress a loved one or gather some friends to celebrate a special occasion, you will want to choose a restaurant that impresses with exceptional food, beautiful decor and outstanding service. Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant, Lucky Cat in Mayfair ticks all those boxes and more.

Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay promises a dining experience that blends sophisticated Asian-inspired cuisine with the elegance and flair one would expect from a Ramsay establishment.

Walk inside and you are greeted with a sleek and modern decor with Asian influences. Dark wood accents, antique mirrors, bamboo panelling and of course the beloved waving cats. 300 ceramic waving cats to be precise, which can be found at many restaurants in Japan, beckoning in customers. The menu offers sushi and sashimi offerings, small plates and Robata grilled dishes.

I asked our waiter for some of his personal favorites, and he enthusiastically recommended the ‘GFC’ Gordon Fried Chicken. A superb recommendation, crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The fiery sauce provided a delightful kick of heat balanced by a sweet tang.

The Australian waygu beef tataki was incredible! Sheets of thinly sliced beef with truffle ponzu, two words - MOUTH-WATERING. Do not even think about dining at Lucky Cat and not ordering this dish, it exceeded expectations and quite frankly I was gutted I ordered this to share…. Word to the wise, order this dish for you alone…

For my main course I ordered the Korean Spiced Black Cod, the cod was perfectly cooked and succulent, the fish flaked effortlessly and the flavour was just incredible. A standout dish that I would happily order again.

The Egg Fried Rice was another recommendation, it is different from the egg fried rice dish you would order at your local. It is presented with chopped vegetables and a runny egg sunny side up lying beautifully on the rice. The waiter then mixes all the ingredients at your table, to then leave you with a dish to admire and devour.

For dessert I choose the Apple Treacle Cake with vanilla ice cream, it was presented beautifully but I wasn’t as overjoyed as I was with my savoury choices. Which just means next time I’ll opt for a different dessert because of course there will be a next time!

The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. Our waiters happily offered recommendations and ensured our needs were met throughout the meal. Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay is more than just a restaurant; it is an experience. The combination of exquisite food, impeccable service, and a captivating ambiance makes it a standout destination in Mayfair.
