If you're looking for a slightly fancier way to mark Mother's Day this year, La Maison Ani in Knightsbridge is putting together a celebration that's all Parisian brasserie charm. Located inside The Carlton Tower Jumeirah, just moments from Sloane Street, the restaurant offers an elegant setting for a long lunch or dinner with family.
By day it's bright and airy, while in the evening the lighting softens and the space becomes a little more intimate. Plush fabrics, gold accents, and softly lit mirrors give the room that classic brasserie feel, and if the weather behaves, the terrace is an easy place to settle in.
Chef Izu Ani's menu focuses on seasonal French-Mediterranean dishes that are ideal for sharing. Highlights include grilled langoustines with a zesty chilli sauce and a richer rigatoni with parmesan cream and black truffle.
Desserts keep things classic, with options like blueberry tart, vanilla crème brûlée, tiramisu and panna cotta. For Mother's Day specifically, the kitchen is also serving a signature berry truffle dessert, paired with two special cocktails available at a set price.
There are a few extra touches, too. Guests celebrating the occasion will receive a curated gift bag filled with beauty and wellness products, while florist Moyses Stevens will have a flower cart outside the restaurant from 13–15 March for anyone who wants to add a bouquet to the day.
