Restaurant
A British restaurant in the heart of London. Francatelli is located in the St James’s Hotel and Club in Mayfair, a stones throw away from London’s top attractions.
Inspired by one of William Drabble’s favourite historical Chef’s, Charles Elme Francatelli, who in the early 1800s was ‘Chief chef of St. James’ Club’. Francatelli was a celebrity chef of his day, who left St James Club to be Queen Victoria’s chief chef, and authored a cookbook ‘The Modern Cook’ in 1846 that will inspire the menu of Francatelli’s at St James Hotel & Club in 2024. The menu will be rooted in simplicity and British produce punctuated with some show stopping dishes.
The restaurant celebrates the richness of Britain, as renowned chef William Drabble partners up with local suppliers, echoing the culinary legacy of Charles Elmé Francatelli. Inspired by the chef’s iconic 1846 cookbook, the restaurant at St. James’s Hotel & Club unveils modern interpretations of 19th-century dishes.
