Marco Pierre White’s idea of simple is old school: elegant dishes prepared using the finest ingredients by chefs trained in London by Marco himself. The deceptively simple menu demands every dish earn its place: the choicest cuts of meat, freshest fish, classic sauces. The vibe? Grown up, relaxed, playful. The setting? An opulent room you’ll feel at home in, only better!

We had a gorgeous brunch today at Happy Out. Everything was fab. Would have given you 5 stars except food was a little cold. But it was so busy we didn’t want to ask you to heat it up! Staff wonderful. Would take out table by door, too tight.
