Myrtos by Asimakis

Myrtos by Asimakis brings the soul of the Ionian islands to Brompton Road, South Kensington. Led by Michelin-starred chef Asimakis Chaniotis, it is a refined celebration of Greek cooking where tradition is treated with quiet reverence and a contemporary touch. The kitchen leans into time-honoured flavours, drawing on pristine ingredients and clear, confident technique to reimagine classics without losing their heartbeat.

The meal might open with taramosalata, its smoky cod roe lifted by trout roe and dill oil, or a spoonable tirokafteri where spicy feta meets cool Greek yoghurt. From there, comfort takes centre stage: lamb moussaka served in traditional style, and prawn saganaki, the sweetness of tomato mingling with feta. Dessert is a love letter to the Aegean pantry, from portokalopita, a syrup-soaked phyllo cake with kaimaki ice cream, to loukoumades glossed with thyme honey, crushed walnuts and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon.

True to the Greek virtue of philoxenia, Myrtos offers warmth and generosity in both service and pace. Guests are encouraged to slow down, savour, and share—an elegant experience that feels as welcoming as a friend’s table. For a special evening or a simple escape to the sun, book in and let South Kensington whisper “kalimera” to your appetite.
