Fettle Design, the LA and London-based design studio, have completed work on a new restaurant in the heart of fashionable Mayfair. Situated within a period building on one of Mayfair’s most desirable streets, Moncks of Dover Street is a comfortable neighbourhood establishment nestled between some of the city’s most exclusive restaurants, bars and galleries.

Fettle wanted to create a warm and inviting restaurant and welcoming dining experience with a character that complements the classic and cosmopolitan food being served. Fettle has designed the space to reflect the Georgian architecture and heritage of Dover Street and conveys a timeless aesthetic, as if it has always been there.

The interior palette of Moncks is traditionally British, steeped in rich oxblood reds and royal blues with layered details and intricacies providing a modern twist. Fettle has maximised the floorplan and utilised natural light through both the front and rear areas to create two contrasting offerings within the same space. 

The cafe interior is warm and inviting and can be seen from street level, a rarity for restaurants in this area. Upon entering the restaurant from Dover Street, guests are met with the café’s feature bar - an 8-metre long aged pewter topped bar providing an immediate focal point.
