Heinz Beck set to launch Beck at Brown’s

Three-Michelin-starred chef, Heinz Beck has announced he will return to London next month with his much-anticipated new restaurant Beck at Brown’s, slated to launch on Monday 16th April at Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair.

The new restaurant, designed by Rocco Forte’s own Olga Polizzi, will offer a brand-new casual dining menu of classic Italian dishes, reinvented using the finest seasonal British ingredients, uniting Heinz’s inimitable style with the hotel’s British heritage.

Beck at Brown’s comes to Mayfair on the heels of Heinz’s hugely successful takeover of the space last December as part of the hotel’s celebration of Italian conviviality, where he took up residence alongside drinks maestro Salvatore Calabrese (who will also be taking up residence in the Donovan Bar from 9th April, which has been renovated by Olga and Inge Moore of interior design studio, Muza Lab). The restaurant will focus on Heinz’s mastery of Italian cuisine, refined over his years running kitchens in Rome in the lauded La Pergola and the more casual Attimi. Dishes will light and healthy, featuring the highest quality produce, with Norfolk chicken and lamb from the organic Rhug estate. Each dish is crafted by Heinz to create a versatile Italian menu perfect for a swift lunch, formal dinner or private party.
