Montcalm Collection partners with Chef Akira Back

Montcalm Collection has partnered with Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back to launch the all-day dining brasserie Lilli by Akira Back at Montcalm Mayfair when it opens this spring.

Back has created the menu for this signature restaurant, which celebrates British cuisine alongside his signature dishes.

“We are delighted to have Chef Akira as part of the team at Montcalm Mayfair and excited to bring his cuisine to London,” says Samantha van Exter, Montcalm Collection’s Head of Hotels. “Chef Akira is persistently at the forefront of innovation and artistry, meaning Lilli by Akira Back will be an exceptional addition to the London dining scene.”

It marks Chef Back’s second partnership in London. “Our partnership at Montcalm Mayfair has been in the making for a long time,” he says. “I’m looking forward to unveiling the next chapter of our culinary journey in Mayfair”.

Montcalm Mayfair, the Collection’s flagship, will reopen following a sensitive renovation of the Park Lane Grade II-listed building by architects Holland Harvey. Designers Studio Est have rejuvenated the public areas including the restaurant, destination bar and private dining room.
