Muse marks Tom Aikens’ return to experience-led fine dining in an intimate 23-cover converted mews house, bringing experience led fine dining to an exquisitely formed Georgian townhouse in Belgravia. Muse opened in January 2020 to critical acclaim and was quickly awarded a Michelin star, with Grace Dent, Guardian, declaring it her ‘opening of the year.’ Muse takes guests on a journey that encapsulates pivotal memories of Tom’s personal life and culinary career, through the prism of seasonally driven tasting menus.
A space for you
Tom Aikens is one of the UK’s most acclaimed and inspirational British chefs. His remarkable career has taken him to David Cavalier’s in Battersea, Pierre Koffman’s La Tante Claire, Pied-à-Terre and Joel Robuchon in Paris to name a few. At 26, Tom became the youngest British chef ever to be awarded two Michelin stars. Raised in Norfolk with a respect for fresh, seasonal ingredients, Tom works tirelessly to use the finest local and sustainable produce.
Experience culinary perfection
Muse by Tom Aikens is a culmination of the chef’s early experiences in both restaurants and at home as a child in the wholesome green pastures of County Norfolk. It is here between his parent’s kitchen and garden that he cultivated a respect for fresh, seasonal ingredients, homegrown veg and the joys of baking. This engrained passion for fine sustainable produce forms the very bedrock of the menu at Muse.
Aikens is devoted to working hand in hand with British suppliers with his team quick to tell any enquiring diners where the four types of flour in the freshly baked bread come from or the Oxfordshire estate the restaurant sources its venison.
Step inside and the understated exterior gives way to a plush but playful, snugly-lit interior, as warm staff usher you in from the city’s cold evening air. Split over two levels (the third level contains Muse’s third kitchen), the red and gold-toned ground floor features a wide and inviting booth should a pre-dinner cocktail take your fancy.
