Opened by acclaimed chef Aaron Potter and interior stylist Laura Hart, Wildflowers is a slice of the Mediterranean brought to life right in the heart of Belgravia. This neighbourhood restaurant blends seasonal, vibrant dishes with a laid-back elegance that feels right at home in London’s chicest spot.
The 54-cover restaurant, set in the historic Newson’s Yard, exudes charm with its bright space and vintage décor. Designed by Laura Hart, who has a background in high-end interior design, the setting is as carefully crafted as the food itself. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a calm yet welcoming atmosphere – a perfect blend of Mediterranean ease and London style. Think warm timber tones, muted pastels and sustainably sourced vintage furniture that gives the space its unique, personal touch.
Of course, the heart of any great restaurant is its food and Wildflowers does not disappoint. With Aaron Potter (previously of Trinity and Elystan Street) at the helm, the menu is a celebration of seasonal produce and bold flavours. Expect to indulge in mouth-watering dishes like Moules farcies with garlic and parsley butter, Grilled red mullet with Puttanesca butter, and the decadent Fig leaf and cherry ripple choux à la crème. Each dish is crafted with care, showcasing the best of European cuisine with a playful, fresh twist.
And for those who enjoy a good glass of wine (or two), upstairs you’ll find a cosy wine bar reminiscent of the cicchetti and pintxos bars of Italy and Spain. Whether you’re sipping a Melon Negroni or a refreshing Amalfi Spritz, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day in the city.
Whether you’re out for a casual lunch, celebrating with friends, or looking for a more intimate dining experience, Wildflowers has got you covered. With a private dining room for special occasions and an inviting courtyard terrace for al fresco dining, the restaurant is as versatile as it is charming. And if you’re in the mood for a quick bite, the in-house deli offers freshly baked pastries, sandwiches and a selection of gourmet provisions.
What sets Wildflowers apart is its connection to the surrounding craft and design community of Newson’s Yard. Every detail, from the textured wall finishes to the open pass that brings diners closer to the kitchen, has been thoughtfully designed to create an immersive, welcoming environment. It’s not just a place to eat, but also to linger, connect and to savour every moment.
So, whether you’re a foodie, a design lover, or someone who simply appreciates the finer things in life, Wildflowers offers a slice of the Mediterranean dream, right in the heart of London.
