Tucked away on the elegant curves of Grosvenor Square, Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay is not just another fine-dining destination – it’s a portal. Step inside and you’re instantly transported to the jazz-soaked backstreets of 1930s Tokyo and Shanghai, where secret kissas and moody drinking dens whispered with possibility. But here in the heart of Mayfair, that smoky, sultry vibe has been reborn with sharp tailoring, high-gloss elegance, and a food and drink offerings that flirt unapologetically with excellence.
Since opening in 2019, Lucky Cat has been spinning a pan-Asian symphony of flavour, craft, and theatre. Think sushi sliced with samurai precision, bao buns that billow like silk, and dishes like the now-iconic Korean Spiced Black Cod and ‘GFC’ – that’s Gordon Fried Chicken to the uninitiated – delivered with swagger and soul.
The menu dances from the raw bar to the robata with an elegance that only Ramsay could engineer. Signature favourites like the Bonito Fried Duck Leg Bao and hand-dived scallops with yuzu are as beloved as they are boundary-pushing, and the dessert offering? A category of its own. Here, sweets are a headline act. An all-female pastry team weaves rose, lychee, and yuzu into creations that are as artful as they are irresistible. No polite slices here – these are desserts worth dressing up for.
And if you think the experience ends at dinner, think again.
Enter: Lucky Cat Weekend Brunch
Yes, Lucky Cat Mayfair now plays host to a weekend brunch that’s turning lazy Saturdays and Sundays into indulgent, Tokyo-meets-Mayfair feasts. From 12pm to 4pm every weekend, brunch here is less about avocado toast and more about culinary theatrics with a luxury twist.
Begin with a sushi platter that could moonlight as jewellery, followed by mixed mushroom dumplings packed with earthy depth. Then – brace yourself – bottomless bao. Yes, you read that right. Soft, steamy, stuffed-to-perfection pillows, arriving in endless waves. Top it off with Lucky Lollies (a whimsical take on dessert that feels plucked from a Kyoto dream), and you’ve got brunch reimagined.
Add bottomless prosecco, beer, champagne or one of their devilishly clever signature cocktails for that extra bit of weekend magic. It’s less “mimosas with mates” and more “gilded brunch affair with an edge.”
If you prefer a little more freedom, a reduced à la carte menu is also on offer – perfect for those who want to freestyle their way through the flavours of Asia.
And the best part? Lucky Cat’s brunch isn’t exclusive to Mayfair. You can also experience it every Saturday and Sunday at their 22 Bishopsgate location (from 11:30am–4pm), and Saturdays only at Lucky Cat Manchester (12pm–4pm). Each location brings its own unique energy, but the core experience – glamorous, flavour-packed, and just a little bit cheeky – remains delightfully consistent.
Whether you’re rolling dice to customise your Negroni, indulging in hand-crafted wagyu dishes served on Surrey ceramics, or spending your Sunday surrounded by bao buns and bubbles, Lucky Cat doesn’t just serve meals – it creates moments.
This is where Asian dining becomes an experience, and where brunch, quite frankly, has never looked so lucky.
