108 Brasserie

Set at the back of The Marylebone hotel with its own stand alone entrance onto the cobbles of Marylebone Lane, 108 Brasserie has settled into the neighbourhood as a reliable rather than flashy option, the kind of place locals return to for a Tuesday dinner rather than save up for a special occasion. The menu is classic French brasserie at its core, extended with globally inspired dishes across breakfast, lunch and dinner service.

The tuna tartare and wild mushroom risotto both draw consistent praise, and the steak, whether ordered as a tartare or a full cut, is a genuine strength of the kitchen rather than an afterthought on a broader menu. Returning guests point specifically to the dry aged beef burger as a favourite, a solid indicator that this is a restaurant that does the reliable dishes properly rather than chasing trends.

The heated outdoor terrace on Marylebone Lane is one of the better reasons to choose 108 over other options in the area, particularly in warmer months when al fresco seating along the cobbled lane gives the meal a genuinely pleasant, villagey feel despite being minutes from Oxford Street.

Prices sit in the mid range for Marylebone, mains generally £18 to £32, making it accessible for a regular dinner rather than only an occasional treat. It suits couples living locally, a relaxed business lunch, and visitors staying at The Marylebone who want a decent meal without leaving the building.

The honest note is that while consistently well reviewed, 108 Brasserie doesn’t reach for anything particularly ambitious on the plate, this is comfort food done well rather than a restaurant trying to surprise you, which is either exactly what you want on a weeknight or a mild disappointment if you’re expecting more creativity for the price. Booking through OpenTable is straightforward and tables are generally available with a few days’ notice outside peak weekend slots.
