Miro Mayfair closes for the summer
Launched just over a year ago, The Burlington Street venture is understood to have shut its doors around a month ago.
A representative for Cream Group - which also operates a number of other late night-orientated venues in London including The Windmill Soho and Cirque Le Soir as well as the plant-based chain Neat Burger - confirmed the closure and said that the site had applied for a 3am licence in order to trade even later into the night and would reopen later this year ‘but with a twist’.
Miro was launched by former Zuma and The Square chef Toby Burrowes, who was at the time the executive chef for Cream Group. He is currently travelling but is understood to be returning to the group.
Housed in the former Street XO site, Miro has an ‘abstract and eclectic’ interior that includes neon, vibrant colours and hand-painted murals sitting alongside exposed brickwork.
Billed as 'an opulent Mayfair interpretation of global favourites, with dramatic presentation' the wider menu includes the likes of king crab and confit garlic croquettes; truffled cheese toasties; a take on fish and chips with layers of crisp potato, fatty tuna and wasabi tartare; yuzu and sake lobster thermidor; a selection of high-end steaks.
The restaurant launched with a £3,000 signature dish that features 1kg of caviar as well as a range of cocktails priced between £500 and £50,000 but later ditched them in favour of a more affordable - relatively speaking, at least - offering that includes a bottomless sushi brunch.
As well as operating as a restaurant, the site has a bar and lounge area, and feature nightly DJ sets. Prior to its closure the restaurant traded in the evenings 6pm - 1am Thursday to Saturday and was open for lunch on Saturdays only.
