This festive season, Mayfair institution Novikov is inviting patrons to enjoy a set Christmas lunch in the Italian dining area of the elegant restaurant. Not only is it a tasty option for a special holiday meal, it's great value for money as well.

This festive set lunch menu invites you to settle in for a celebratory meal of three or four courses (£65/£80), complete with a complimentary Christmas spritz to start things off. The first course sets a cheerful tone with choices like silky gravadlax, wood-roasted pumpkin with stracciatella, or a bright spinach, feta, and roasted celeriac salad. For the second course, you can dive into comforting homemade tagliatelle with venison ragù or a rich veal lasagne layered with parmesan fondue.

The main course selection feels like a winter feast, offering dishes such as grilled monkfish, traditional cotechino with lentils, slow-roasted pork shank, or vibrant saffron risotto with Iberico ham. Dessert keeps the magic going with a whimsical Noel Tree mousse filled with mandarin or a cosy panettone-and-butter pudding baked in custard. The whole menu leans into seasonal flavours and indulgent touches that feel perfect for a festive lunch out.

With its mix-and-match courses and Christmas warmth, Novikov's Christmas set menu is designed to make your celebration feel special from start to finish. It's available daily from midday until 5pm, from 1 to 30 December – head here to book your table.
