This is a sponsored article on behalf of Mayfair and Belgravia.

Belgravia's beautiful Elizabeth Street boasts plenty of dining options

Gather around, foodies. Indoor dining has at last returned — and if top tier dishes in effortlessly elegant surroundings are what you're after, there are two London neighbourhoods that need to be on your list.

Together, Mayfair and Belgravia boast some of the fanciest restaurants in the capital. Inside the glorious Georgian buildings that line the cobbles you'll find laid-back brunch spots, Michelin star fine dining, and swoon-worthy patisseries that are perfect for afternoon tea.

Here are some of our favourites, for every occasion.

Eccleston Yards, Belgravia

Best for... brunch

Inspired by Parisian cafe culture, Mayfair's NAC is the perfect place to spend a lazy Saturday. This French bistro's eggs any-style is legendary and you get to choose between al-fresco dining and settling down in a luxurious velvet booth inside.

Another laid-back weekend option in Mayfair is the oasis of calm that is Everbean (go for the homemade granola). Meanwhile, while over in Belgravia, the French toast The Buttery, the charming rustic restaurant at the elegant Lime Tree Hotel.

Best for... satisfying your wanderlust

Did you know that you can eat your way around the world in Mayfair and Belgravia? Fans of Japanese cuisine have got to try ROKA Mayfair's sophisticated take on contemporary robatayaki cuisine, or head to Belgravia for regional dishes from Sachi Yatai, which launches this July at Pantechnicon.

While you're there, you could also discover the freshness of Nordic cuisine at Pantechnicon's other restaurant, Eldr. Meanwhile, Morena serves up authentic Latin American flavours, while Boisdale of Belgravia is dedicated to a cuisine that's closer to home, sourcing beautiful ingredients from the Scottish coast.

Feeling indecisive? Back in Mayfair, Mercato Metropolitano offers street food from all over the world and is worth a visit for the building alone — the gorgeous, Grade I listed St Mark's church.

Over in Mayfair, three Michelin star restaurant Hélène Darroze at The Connaught offers expressive, carefully curated dishes in an artfully designed dining room.
