Mareida to Showcase Chilean Cuisine in Fitzrovia

by Ella

After previewing its offerings at Carousel last year, Chilean restaurant Mareida is preparing to open its doors in Fitzrovia, not far from its previous location. The restaurant is the brainchild of Prenay Agarwal, who lived in Chile for a year and is now eager to bring the country’s vibrant culinary scene to London.

A Flavorful Chilean Experience

Agarwal has teamed up with Head Chef Trinidad Vial Della Maggiora to run the kitchen at Mareida. Della Maggiora, supported by the talented Chef Carolina Bazán, is set to lead the restaurant in presenting the flavors of Chile. Bazán, honored as Latin America’s Best Female Chef in 2019 by the World’s 50 Best, brings her expertise and deep knowledge of Chilean cuisine to the team. Additionally, Mareida will feature a rotating series of guest chefs from the Southern Andes to collaborate on the menu, providing an authentic taste of the region.

The Menu

While the full menu details will be released closer to the opening, Mareida’s dishes will showcase the diverse offerings of Chile, with flavors from the coast to the mountains. Dishes previewed during the restaurant’s Carousel residency included a lamb corn cake and grilled sea bass paired with quinoa, avocado, pebre, and chili. Expect the menu to feature similarly bold, fresh, and locally-inspired dishes.

Prenay Agarwal’s Vision

Founder Prenay Agarwal shared his inspiration for opening Mareida, saying, “After meeting my partner, who is Chilean, I spent over a year in the country and completely immersed myself in its food scene. I was taken aback by the abundant flavors and dishes of the underexplored cuisine. That’s why I’ve opened Mareida – I want to share my love of the country and show London everything that it has to offer.”

Location and Opening Date

Mareida will be located at 160 Great Portland St, London W1W 5QA and is set to open in June 2025. Be sure to stay tuned for more details on the restaurant’s menu and grand opening!
