YOPO Zaytoun - The Mandrake Hotel

YOPO Zaytoun, at the five-star Mandrake hotel in Fitzrovia, offers a refined dining experience shaped by the vibrant flavours and convivial spirit of the Levant. The restaurant brings an elegant, ingredient-led approach to modern sharing plates, where seasonality and provenance take centre stage.

Under the guidance of Head Chef Viktor Yordanov, the menu balances freshness, richness and spice, with dishes designed to be enjoyed together. Highlights include delicately prepared yellowtail with preserved lemon and green chilli, harissa-glazed ribeye, and native oysters dressed with citrus gremolata. Signature interpretations of regional classics, such as the Mandrake shakshuka, sit alongside carefully composed desserts including pistachio millefeuille and olive oil ice cream.

An emphasis on high-quality sourcing runs throughout, with standout ingredients such as Cypriot olive oils underpinning the kitchen’s expressive, flavour-driven style. The wine list is equally considered, showcasing a curated selection of renowned producers that complement the menu’s bold yet balanced profile.

The setting is distinctive and immersive, with tactile design elements and a curated soundscape enhancing the restaurant’s atmospheric appeal. Just beyond, the lush Jurema Terrace offers a tranquil extension of the experience, where hanging gardens and expertly crafted cocktails create a seamless transition from day to night.

Elegant but relaxed, YOPO Zaytoun delivers a contemporary take on Eastern Mediterranean dining in one of London’s most characterful luxury hotel environments.
