Fortnum & Mason replaces brasserie with new restaurant
45 Jermyn Street's menu will move through breakfast to traditional dishes and modern options
London
FORTNUM & Mason, the posh London department store that traces its history to 1707, has closed its Fountain brasserie after 60 years and plans to replace it with a destination restaurant oozing the old-fashioned glamour of a bygone age.
The new 45 Jermyn Street will be open from 7 am until late, and will accommodate as many as 113 guests at tables, booths and a long bar. The menu will move through breakfast options such as buttermilk pancakes through Dover sole and other traditional dishes, to modern options such as vegetable carpaccio with tarragon salsa verde. There will also be a late-night supper menu.
