Tucked away in a Mayfair mews, SILVA is a new day-to-night restaurant, which opened in November.
Derived from the Latin word for “forest,” SILVA’s menu will evolve in harmony with the seasons, taking inspiration from across the Mediterranean all the way to Japan to deliver a modern restaurant for modern Londoners.
Founder Daria Grebenyuk and her experienced team have created an elegant space that will focus on a convivial atmosphere and warm hospitality at the heart of Bruton Place, a location known for its independent restaurants, retailers and galleries.
Serving breakfast/brunch, lunch and dinner, SILVA boasts 91 covers across two floors and an outside terrace. On entering guests will be drawn in by the banquette seating which gently curves its way down the entirety of the space, where mixed woods and marble are offset by moss and pine green accents and muted tones to mimic the changing seasons.
The restaurant is joined on the first floor by an intimate snug bar and an impressive private dining room, ‘The Garden Room’, complete with a restored herringbone parquet floor and decorative foliage and flower castings adorning the walls.
The menus at SILVA are a manifestation of Founder Daria’s travels across various countries, savouring different foods and culinary traditions from Europe and beyond. Daria has worked closely with Head Chef, Slawomir Sawicki (Eric Chavot, Galvin at La Chapelle, Arts Club) to curate menus which bring together different influences and techniques but which at their core let the best of the seasons produce shine.
Inspired by the woodland and the changing seasons, the atmosphere shifts from bright and airy during the day to cosy and intimate in the evenings, with the low-lit bar area providing the ultimate setting to while away the evening. The thoughtful design has been curated by Daria in partnership with Atelier Wren.
Daria Grebenyuk said: “I am extremely excited to announce the launch of SILVA. For me it was important to create a space that felt like an elegant escape any time of the day or night, from a productive breakfast meeting, to a lively dinner with friends, I want SILVA to be an inviting place for locals and visitors alike”
