A new brasserie, Moncks of Dover Street, is set to open in Mayfair next month (July), and is from the team behind the Park Chinois restaurant, which opened in 2015.

The restaurant will be open throughout the day, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner services. The kitchen is led by executive chef Gennaro Vitto and head chef, Valentino Pepe, who have been working alongside each other at Park Chinois since 2012.

In addition, the evening menu includes pan-fried monkfish with seafood jus, seasonal vegetables and gremolata or roasted baby leg of lamb with spiced couscous, sautéed shallots, apricots and pomegranates.
