Jul’s London

The group behind one of Ibiza’s most acclaimed restaurant experiences has made its London debut, and they’ve chosen a setting that more than rises to the occasion. Occupying a heritage building on Waterloo Place in St James’s — all soaring ceilings and a grand period facade — Jul’s brings its sun-drenched Mediterranean sensibility to the heart of the capital. Executive Chef Christos Fotos leads a kitchen rooted in what the group calls “no limits cuisine”: produce-driven, multicultural in influence, and partly supplied by Jul’s own certified organic farm in Ibiza. But this is just as much a drinks destination as a dining one — the team describes their approach as “drink-led dining,” with sommeliers curating a cellar of traditional, natural, and biodynamic wines alongside cocktails crafted using in-house fermentation and distillation techniques. Even the tableware is considered, with bespoke ceramics designed in collaboration with specialist studios. Ambitious, hedonistic, and unmistakably European in spirit — Jul’s London is a serious arrival.
