How did it happen?

The Palomar is the first restaurant from siblings Zoë and Layo Paskin.

Their journey began with the opening of The End nightclub in 1995. It became the most influential nightclub in the country and amongst the best in the world in the world, breaking many of the key musical acts in all of its 13 years.

Layo launched his DJ and Producer career there as one half of Layo & Bushwacka. Touring the world for a decade, Layo dined in the world’s best restaurants and sampled the most diverse street food –from New York to Tokyo, São Paulo to Mumbai, and so on; shaping his perspective and narrative on nightlife and hospitality.

After selling the businesses in 2009, the siblings began discussing the idea of opening a restaurant in 2011.

With a shared notion of hospitality and strong memories of family meals, they set out to create a restaurant people would fall in love with and return to again and again…

It took 18 months but in May 2014, The Palomar opened its doors. It was an instant hit.

It has since gone on to win numerous accolades, including the OFM ‘Best Restaurant’ Award, Tatler ‘Restaurant of the Year’ Award, and the GQ ‘Best Restaurant’ Award, while holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand every year since opening.
