Fantômas opens debut site on King's Road

The Sloane Stanley Estate has announced that Fantômas, George Bukhov-Weinstein and Ilya Demichev’s new neighbourhood bistro restaurant, has opened at 300 King’s Road.

Headed up by chef Chris Denney, formerly at 108 Garage, Fantômas has opened its debut site in Chelsea, bringing its Modern European concept to King’s Road. The 2,000 sq ft, open kitchen restaurant seats up to 80 covers and hosts a private dining room for up to 18 people with an adjoining courtyard, creating an intimate space for Chelsea’s diners. The menu offers dishes such as Castelfranco Salad, Pumpkin & Almond Agnolotti and Crispy Veal Sweetbreads, as well as desserts such as Fig Savarin and Chantilly Cream, and Blue Brain Cheese and Piccalilli. 

Fantômas joins a vast selection of high-quality operators on the Sloane Stanley Estate, positioning itself as a renowned hub for some of the industry’s leading chefs and restaurants. Alley Cats has recently opened its second site in London at 342 King’s Road, alongside Bluebird and Beaufort House, with Pizza Pilgrims also due to arrive later this year, marking a key gateway into the Estate. Josephine by Claude Bosi and Dez Amore also form part of the landlord’s growing F&B portfolio, just a stone’s throw away on Fulham Road.

Hannah Grievson, Property Director at Sloane Stanley, said: “Over the last year, we have laid the groundwork to position our Estate as a leading location for some of the best culinary concepts in London, delivering flavours and brands that simply can’t be found anywhere else. Chris Denney’s experience alongside George Bukhov-Weinstein’s and Ilya Demichev’s expertise is the perfect duo for this prominent location on our Estate, and we look forward to being part of Fantômas’ success. 

George Bukhov-Weinstein, Co-Founder of Fantomas, added: “We wanted to bring something different, new and unknown to Chelsea. When the 300 King’s Road opportunity came about, it felt like the right time, and as fans of Chris, we had him in mind as the right chef to make that happen.”
