Punk Royale to make UK restaurant debut in London’s Mayfair: Punk Royale, the Scandinavia-based brand, is to make its UK restaurant debut later this autumn, in London’s Mayfair, Propel has learned. Punk Royale, which operates a pop-up at Carousel in Marylebone in October 2020, will open in the former Amethyst premises at 6 Sackville Street. Amethyst, the restaurant from former Xier chef Carlo Scotto, closed in 2023. Punk Royale, which was founded by Joakim Almqvist (also known as Jokke Almqvist) and Erik Gustafsson, originally opened in Stockholm in 2015, adding a second location in Copenhagen in 2018, and a third in Oslo three years ago. A meal at Punk Royale is described as “a wild, raucous affair – one that is not recommended for the faint of heart”. The company added: “It’s provoking, it’s chaotic, and it’s absolutely one-of-a-kind.” Phones are confiscated at the company’s restaurants, with guests offered “a lick of caviar off the back of the hand and an ice-cold vodka chaser” with smoke machines and dishes that include foie gras brioche “smilies”, accompanied by a syringe of Sauternes. The company has previously said that “punk” defines the atmosphere and “royale” defines the food. Marc Rogers, of MKR Property acted on the Mayfair deal.
