Our Story
Born from a passion for pure, honest flavours
Aurelia was founded in 2018 by Executive Chef Marcus Veil, who trained under three Michelin-starred kitchens across Paris, Copenhagen, and Tokyo before returning to London with a singular ambition: to champion British produce with global technique.
Every plate that leaves our kitchen is a conversation between land and sea, season and memory. We work with fewer than 40 carefully chosen suppliers — farmers, foragers, and fishermen — many within 50 miles of our dining room.

Marcus Veil
Executive Chef & Founder
Trained in Paris, Copenhagen, and Tokyo before returning to London, Marcus brings a forensic attention to technique tempered by a deep respect for the ingredients themselves. His philosophy is simple: find the finest produce, then get out of its way.

What Our Guests Say
“Aurelia is the rare restaurant that makes you feel both inspired and entirely at ease. The crab royale alone is worth the pilgrimage to Mayfair. Marcus Veil has created something genuinely special here.”

“We've celebrated three anniversaries here. The team remember our names, our wine preferences, even that my wife dislikes coriander. This is what hospitality should feel like. Absolutely flawless.”

“The tasting menu was a seven-course journey through British seasons. Every dish had a story, and the sommelier's pairing was extraordinary. Worth every penny and then some.”
