The Portrait is shaped by the people who work within it. Mara, Lorenzo, and Manuel each bring a distinct background to the restaurant, bound by a shared understanding of what exceptional hospitality requires. Between them, they carry decades of experience across Italy and London, and a quiet commitment to getting every detail right.

Richard Corrigan

Chef Patron

Richard Corrigan’s connection to this building goes back more than twenty years, long before he took the helm here. His career spans Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill, Corrigan’s Mayfair, and a collection of restaurants that have shaped the way London thinks about British and Irish cooking. At The Portrait, that accumulated knowledge finds a natural home: seasonal, rooted, and entirely without pretension.
