Myrtle is a modern British and Irish restaurant in Chelsea run by renowned Irish chef Anna Haugh. After 20 years spent cooking with the likes of Philip Howard, Shane Osborne and Gordon Ramsay, Haugh decided to open her debut solo restaurant in 2019, and Myrtle has been rightly regarded as one of London's most exciting restaurants ever since, with dishes that combine top class British and Irish produce.
Inside, Myrtle has two cosy private dining rooms, both of which are ideal for more intimate celebrations, as well as meetings, corporate dinners and client entertaining. The smart first floor private dining room features teal wood panelling around the walls as well as large skylights, which invite plenty of natural light into the room. It's the larger of the two, seating up to 20 guests along two long banqueting tables. Or, there's also a ground floor private dining room with capacity for 10 seated guests. Exclusive hire of the whole restaurant is also an option - the restaurant is split over two floors and can accommodate up to 34 guests, with 16 on the ground floor and another 18 upstairs. Whatever you choose, Myrtle's charm lies in the intimate, homely feel of the space.
Haugh's cooking is also a big part of the attraction. Myrtle's menu delves heavily into traditional Irish ingredients and dishes, with plates like sirloin of Irish beef with beef-stuffed boxty, turnip and tarragon, and an Irish honey and mead cake with gooseberry elderflower jam. Another signature is Haugh's 'Salmon of Knowledge' dish, so named after a figure in Irish mythology that represents wisdom, where Burren Smokehouse salmon is served with leaves of baby gem lettuce and a sauce gribiche. You can also expect top class Irish produce such as Irish cheeses on the cheese board, and oysters from Carlingford.
