The Forte family have been dedicated to hospitality for four generations. Charlie’s is named after the founding Forte, Lord Charles, who loved traditional charm as well as modern touches in his hotels. In his honour, Charlie’s marries much-loved convention with modernity, showcasing the evolution of British cuisine, with cosy booths, antique panelling and bright botanical wallpaper.
The menus at Charlie’s celebrate British culinary heritage with creative, contemporary flair while embracing a bygone era of service. Overseen by Adam Byatt, produce and its provenance and seasonality are of utmost importance, and each dish comprises authentic ingredients personally sourced by the team from the highest quality suppliers across the world.
From succulent Sunday roasts and traditional classics served on Brown’s sparkling silver trolley, to tempting sharing plates and mouth-watering desserts, Charlie’s is the quintessential contemporary British restaurant in Mayfair.

I felt the Valentine's Course menu wasn't of better quality than I expected. Also, it was really expensive for only 3 dishes for £120 with the small food. However, the waiters had a good service.
Charlie'sResponded on 18 February 2024
Dear Isaree, Thank you for your review. Whilst I was pleased to see your positive rating for the service, I was indeed truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with our Valentine's Day offering, and I wish to sincerely apologise for any disappointment caused. Please know that your feedback will be addressed with our Chef for further internal follow up. Thank you for both your positive and constructive comments, and I do hope that notwithstanding this, you might give us the opportunity to better serve you on a future occasion. Best regards, Gianluca Sebis Charlie's Restaurant Manager

Whilst other high-end restaurants decline, Charlie’s maintains its standards, blue cheese salad starter was simple but perfect, made with crumbled Stilton NOT just the watered down blue cheese dressing others purveyor, the chicken escalope was exceptional, beautifully done. Rum baba needs to be re-thought and taken back to its original construct and strong rum flavour.. the staff are amongst the best brigade in London and of course the ambience is elegant, light and tasteful.
