Located on 241 Pavilion Road in Chelsea, Three Darlings is a neighbourhood bistro serving English dishes inspired by European influences and will also feature healthy meal options that have been informed by an understanding of cuisines from across the globe.
The space on Pavilion Road is part of the Cadogan estates and is flanked by popular dining destinations and shops. This part of Chelsea has been developed as a pedestrianized area with shops and restaurants lining the road and spilling onto charming outdoor seating areas perfect for alfresco dining. From what we have seen so far expect refined and sophisticated interiors that have a playful feel with a pastel colour palette.
This is another project being spearheaded by chef-restauranter Jason Atherton and his wife and collaborator Irha. The family business doesn’t end there as the name of the project is a reference to their three daughters, Keziah, Jemimah and Athena. This venture is in safe hands with the experience Atherton has gained throughout his illustrious career that includes working in some of the world’s most impressive and revered kitchens in the world. Additionally, Atherton was the executive chef under Gordon Ramsay at the Michelin-starred Maze as well as receiving rewards for his own projects, Pollen Street Social and City Social. These offer a more modern fine dining experience in contrast to the more relaxed neighbourhood feel of Three Darlings.
Food will be seasonally inspired, with the menu changing to reflect the best produce of that time. Atherton aimed to offer the residents of Chelsea the type of casual, stylish dining opportunities found in other European countries.
That being said we can still, of course, expect truly excellent and elevated food with inventive and impressive twists. In this vein, the launch of this restaurant will also be accompanied by a gourmet hotdog pop-up in Harrods demonstrating the playful and casual yet sophisticated feel of this project.
