Hora

Hora, a multi-sensory Mediterranean restaurant fusing cuisine, art, music, and creativity, is now open on Dover Street, Mayfair.

This visionary project from London-based restaurateur Dimitris Lytras—formerly Brand Director at Hovarda London and Group Nightlife Director at Caprice Holdings—draws inspiration from traditional Mediterranean family culture and the raw beauty of the coastal shores of Greece and Italy. In partnership with Alessio Matrone, founder-owner of IT Restaurants, and Pierluigi Montuoro, Co-owner and COO, Hora introduces a fresh, distinctive approach to the Mayfair dining scene, with plans for future openings in Milan and other sought-after destinations.

Under Dimitris' guidance and Alessio's business expertise, Executive Chef John Skotidas leads the kitchen. His unique Asian heritage, South American roots, and Greek upbringing infuse Hora's cuisine with a rich, multicultural approach. This expands into Mediterranean flavours and seasonal dining, featuring shareable options like bone-in sirloin or côte de boeuf, alongside seafood dishes such as sea bass or turbot.

Known for his culinary ingenuity across renowned restaurants like Hovarda, Mazi, Suzi Tros, and ZEPHYR in London, as well as Abra Ovata in Athens, Chef Skotidas introduces an innovative menu that honours Mediterranean seasonality and traditional flavours while pushing creative boundaries.
