National Oyster Day: Indulge in Luxury Dining at Langan’s Brasserie
As National Oyster Day approaches on Tuesday, 5th August, few places capture the spirit of sophisticated seafood dining quite like Langan’s Brasserie in Mayfair.
A stalwart of London’s luxury dining scene since the 1970s, Langan’s has mastered the art of blending timeless elegance with relaxed indulgence, making it a must-visit for those seeking the finer things in life.
Long celebrated for its star-studded guest list and effortlessly chic atmosphere, this iconic brasserie continues to draw discerning diners from across the globe. Whether you’re a devoted oyster enthusiast or simply searching for a glamorous way to mark the occasion, Langan’s offers an experience that feels distinctly London – polished, indulgent, and utterly unforgettable.
The Finest Oysters in the Heart of Mayfair
Oysters have long been synonymous with luxury dining, and at Langan’s, they’re treated with the reverence they deserve. The brasserie sources its oysters directly from Wright Brothers, the UK’s leading seafood supplier trusted by over 500 top restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments. This ensures every shell delivers the ultimate taste of the sea: fresh, briny, and perfectly balanced.
Diners can savour oysters served simply on ice with classic accompaniments like mignonette and ponzu, or opt for something more theatrical. For a true show-stopping feast, the Plateau de Fruits de Mer (£95 for two) showcases the house selection of oysters alongside a whole Canadian lobster, Obsiblue prawns, and plump mussels, all served with aioli and mignonette – a platter that elevates National Oyster Day to a truly celebratory affair.
A Destination for the Luxury Lifestyle Enthusiast
Part of the enduring charm of Langan’s Brasserie is its ability to combine classic British elegance with a Parisian brasserie feel, making it a destination for anyone who appreciates luxury dining in London.
