Apricity means the warmth of the sun in winter, but Chantelle Nicolson is sprinkling her sunshine on London’s Mayfair year-round thanks to the balmy success of her 2022 opening. Known for plant-based cooking at Tredwell’s and pandemic pop-up All’s Well, former lawyer Nicolson runs a mostly female kitchen with head chef Eve Seeman, and describes Apricity as “conscious cooking and joyful dining”. Hit dishes include black pearl and oyster mushrooms in XO sauce, butterhead lettuce with miso aioli, cured Cornish sea bass, and pork dumplings with horseradish. Eat in the light-flooded dining room or the chef’s table downstairs. Beautiful plates, complex flavors, and the comfort of great food from experienced hands, with plenty of surprises in the mix.
