Le Magritte
Mayfair, London
Bar in London, United Kingdom
Book with PearlWhy go
Le Magritte is the Mayfair pick for a polished hotel-bar drink when food matters too. Go for classic cocktails, American whiskey, martinis, a bar menu broad enough for a light meal; skip it if the night needs a loud room, experimental energy, or pub-level value.
About Le Magritte
Consider Le Magritte if the London choice is about a smart-casual venue with long daily opening hours.
Le Magritte is open from 8 AM to 11:45 PM Monday to Saturday, from 8 AM to 10:45 PM on Sunday. The dress code is smart casual. Specific details about the food, drinks, room, service style, pricing, reservations, or setting are not confirmed here, so check directly with the venue before building a plan around any of those points.
Plan around confirmed hours, not food details
The venue details do not confirm a specific food menu, cuisine, dishes, pricing, or dining format. If food is central to the visit, confirm the current offering with Le Magritte before you go.
For a food-led night, use our full London restaurants guide instead. For a more flexible London plan, Le Magritte is best treated as a smart-casual option with long opening hours rather than as a confirmed full-dinner destination.
Dress code and comparisons
The confirmed dress code is smart casual, which gives the clearest signal about how to approach the venue.
If the plan includes a wider London search, compare Le Magritte with other relevant options such as Comptoir Mayfair, Scales, Selfridges, The Barley Mow, The Gatsby Room. For wider planning, use our full London bars guide.
Who should choose it over another London venue
Choose Le Magritte when the priority is a London venue with smart-casual dress and long opening hours across the week. Skip it if you need confirmed details on menus, prices, seating style, outdoor space, or a specific drinks programme before deciding.
For broader browsing, compare it with other London dining and drinking options that publish the details you need. Le Magritte’s information is useful for timing and dress-code planning, but not enough to support more specific claims.

Bar context
How It Compares
Choose Le Magritte over The Gatsby Room when the priority is cocktails first and food second. The Gatsby Room is the easier mental match for a calmer hotel-lounge mood, while Le Magritte gives drinkers a sharper bar identity through martinis, bourbon, American whiskey. Both suit a polished Mayfair plan, but Le Magritte is the stronger call when the bar itself is the reason for going.
Compared with The Barley Mow, the trade-off is clear: Le Magritte is the more formal, higher-spend choice, while The Barley Mow is the better fit for a pub-leaning night. If value means relaxed pints and a lower-pressure setting, choose The Barley Mow. If value means attentive service, composed cocktails, the option to order oysters, a lobster roll, or a club sandwich without changing venues, Le Magritte earns its Mayfair premium.
Selfridges is the practical fallback around shopping plans, especially when convenience beats atmosphere. Comptoir Mayfair and Scales make more sense if the night needs a restaurant-adjacent or food-first feel. Le Magritte is the pick for a quieter, more deliberate drink with credible bar food rather than a full dining agenda.
