Looking for a first date in London that is truly unforgettable? Spark a connection over lunch or dinner by embarking on a culinary journey through the Riviera at La Petite Maison London.
Here, you can explore the location, ambience and menus that make Mayfair’s LPM, La Petite Maison, the perfect first date restaurant in London.
To find our restaurant, you’ll need to head to charming and elegant Mayfair, one of London’s most prestigious locations. Mayfair sets the scene for a truly refined rendezvous. This beautiful area features grand townhouses, high-end boutiques, and the tranquility of beloved Berkeley Square and Grosvenor Square. However, Mayfair’s quiet streets are just moments away from Regent Street, Oxford Street and Bond Street Station, making the area easy for you and your date to reach.
LPM London is hidden away in a quiet, cobbled mews behind Claridge's. Avery Row, a charming pedestrian walkway, can bring you to the front door from smart and distinguished Brook Street. This address is one of Mayfair’s most intimate locations, making it ideal for a first date in London.
When you arrive where Brook Mews and Avery Row meet, you’ll notice the inviting LPM restaurant with its bright flowerboxes and large windows shaded by terracotta awnings and nearby trees.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you and your date will be transported to the French Riviera, one of the most romantic locations in the world. The Riviera’s spectacular scenery, with sunshine sparkling on the Mediterranean sea, has long been associated with the finer things in life: good food, good wine and good company.
The LPM philosophy captures the essence of the glamorous French Riviera, with its olive and citrus groves, pastel villages, and turquoise waters. Step inside the restaurant to find a pared-back interior, think light colours, fine linens, and natural materials. 20th-century art pops from the walls: bright, provocative and reminiscent of La Belle Époque.
In the summer, make the most of London’s long, light evenings and warm weather to dine outdoors on one of the pavement tables. Watching the world go by and soaking up Mayfair’s joie de vivre on a sun-dappled evening is one of the loveliest first date ideas.
LPM’s food menu brings sunshine to London all year round. The food takes as much inspiration from the Mediterranean as the decor. Think of tastes like the freshest fruits de mer; tomatoes, peppers and lemons grown in the heat of a French summer; vibrant lemons and bright berries, and bold, dark coffee.
Chefs at LPM show the utmost respect for their beautiful, delicate ingredients, preparing dishes with care, precision, and attention to detail. The results will take you and your date on a culinary exploration of the south of France’s coast and countryside, with a nod to their neighbours in Italy. Pasta, baked fish, grilled meats, and fruit-based desserts always feature on a varied, enticing, and seasonally updated menu.
Sample dishes include:
With LPM’s selection of cocktails and fine wines, raise a toast to a brilliant first date. London may be several hundred miles from the vineyards of Southern France, but LPM’s sommeliers work tirelessly to bring wines from small-scale winemakers that will both delight and surprise. The Riviera’s signature wine, rosė, is the perfect match for many of LPM’s joyful, Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Begin or end your first date with a cocktail. The cocktail menu reflects LPM’s philosophy, which puts fresh, simple, high-quality ingredients at its heart. Drinks evoke the non-stop glamour of Cannes, poolside parties, vintage sports cars, and Hollywood icons like Brigette Bardot and Lauren Bacall. Punchy, aromatic, zesty, or smooth: there’s a drink for everyone, including some beautiful non-alcoholic creations.
Signature cocktails include:
First date ideas can be hard to navigate.
