Hotel Chantelle, Oxford Street , London

New York City’s famed restaurant and late-night spot Hotel Chantelle has launched its sister venue this summer.

Opened in July the London hotel boasts a spectacular city centre location, just off Oxford Street adjacent to Selfridges, and brings a buzz to West London with its creative menu combining American dining with fun French fare in a relaxed, social setting.

The original restaurant, located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, has garnered a loyal clientele of celebrity fans including Katy Perry, Channing Tatum, Sophia Bush and Liam Hemsworth amongst many more with the draw of being not just a restaurant but a destination for sophisticated late nights as well. Executive Chef Seth Levine who has opened and curated some of New York’s most celebrated restaurants is excited to elevate the brand here in London as he brings an exciting and unique menu that’s shaped by American and French influences.

The menu weaves together molecular gastronomy, comfort food and haute cuisine thanks to Levine’s whimsical imagination.

Seth is a prolific New York based chef with an iconoclastic streak a mile wide. He has built his career on the heartfelt belief that fine dining should be fun and has also appeared on Hell’s Kitchen, as well as opened new restaurants across New York.

He now acts as the Executive Chef of five thriving restaurants in New York city and the Hamptons including Hotel Chantelle, Georgica, The Stand, Wine & Roses and Penthouse 808. Seth is also the Culinary Director of the newly reinvented Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa.

At each venue Chef Levine seamlessly weaves together disparate culinary styles, creating an epicurean universe where molecular gastronomy, comfort food and haute cuisine coexist and intermingle.

In Hotel Chantelle, as in all of Seth Levine’s restaurants, each dish is a complex mixture of whimsical visual presentation and radically inventive flavour profiles.

Signature dinner items such as Waffle-Crusted Fried Chicken with Maple Syrup Cotton Candy and a Tuna Tartare Cigar served in a vintage glass ashtray and brunch entrees like Frosted Flake-Encrusted Stuffed French Toast are just some of the delightful dishes on offer. Guests can expect inventive presentations, unique food pairings and an innovative take on New York classics that are sure to create an exciting dining experience time and time again.

The restaurant and late night venue has been named after a World War II safe house and inspired by the design of the rooftop fining space in New York . Hotel Chantelle London will reflect a similar atmosphere, transporting guests from the bustling streets of London, via Manhattan, to a Parisian garden oasis.

Frosty white tiles make up the ceiling of the 2,500 square foot dining area, resembling a naturally sky lit setting much like the retractable roof at its flagship location. Park benches, lamppost lighting and draping floral greeneries encompass the restaurant, giving it a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe which is prefect for enjoying on any occasion.

The 100 cover venue boasts an upstairs terrace retreat ideal for those wanting to enjoy brunch with friends, an afternoon tea or dinner with family on any given night.

The dining-meets-nightlife destination is open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner from 11.30am to 11.00pm. Late dining is also available between Thursday and Sunday until 3am, and weekend brunch is offered at the weekend from 11.00am until 4.00pm.
