“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if not has not dined well.” Virginia Woolf
If you find yourself in London you’ll realize right away that there are tons of trendy and luxurious options when it comes to dining.
If you’re looking for super photogenic places to enjoy a ‘Michelin star’ meal and a fabulous cocktail, here are my top 5 opulent London restaurants worth visiting.
Amazónico London
Situated in the heart of Mayfair on Berkeley Square the rainforest-themed restaurant takes inspiration from the cultural diversity and gastronomic heritage of the Amazon region.
Immersive, jungle inspired interior design featuring luscious live plants, multi-coloured foliage hanging from the ceiling and exotic animals stalking the undergrowth. A plush green-and-gold colour scheme captured my attention immediately as I was led to the table.
The cocktails not only look fancy but they are also incredibly delicious and exactly what we needed to shake things up. Featuring delicious, unique combinations of tropical flavours Amazónico cocktails are a great prelude to a dining experience that combines a blend of tropical and Latin American cuisines.
The rainforest-themed striking décor, live music, vibrant culinary and cocktail offering are a perfect mix to get anyone’s taste buds going.
London’s very own Amazon Rainforest is certainly one not to be missed, a truly unforgettable, delicious experience.
You’ll find it at 10 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, W1J 6AA.
Glitzy Park Chinois
If you like your restaurants sleek and minimal then Park Chinois is not for you. Ultra-opulent glitz and old fashioned glamour, with lavish strikingly rich interiors drenched in velvet and tassels – a perfect sneak peek to the decadence of 1930’s Shanghai.
Park Chinois offers two distinct dining experiences, on the ground floor is Salon de Chine, serving bold Chinese cuisine and exquisite drinks.
Downstairs is the Wave Bar and Club Chinois, that offers unique live entertainment and extravagant dining. Low lighting and plush seats create an intimate atmosphere that works just as well for a date as it does for celebrations with friends.
Step behind the red doors and celebrate in style.
Located at 17 Berkeley St, Mayfair, London W1J 8EA
Clos Maggiore
Clos Maggiore is truly an oasis of calm in the heart of always busy Covent Garden.
It’s London’s one of the most romantic restaurants influenced by beautiful country inns in Provence and Tuscany.
Wood panelled rooms, atmospheric candle light, a fully retractable glass roof (wonderful in warmer months) and a crackling fire during the winter months are truly enchanting.
The food matches Clos Maggiore’s elegant surroundings, with fine French cuisine presented with balanced menus which have consistently been recognised and awarded with AA-rosette awards.
The cherry blossomed adorned conservatory creates a warmth and intimacy enjoyed by both business and private parties.
Address: 33 King Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 8JD
Swanky Sexy Fish
Sexy Fish is an Asian-fusion restaurant and late-night bar located on the corner of Berkeley Square, Mayfair, serving Japanese-inspired sushi, seafood, fish and meat.
Plain and boring from the outside, but the inside takes your breath away, it’s like being transferred inside an Asian Palace!
The cutting-edge bar decorated with Damien Hirst mermaids holds one of the world’s biggest Japanese whisky collections, as well as offering a drinks menu featuring both classic and inventive cocktails.
There’s a fabulous waterfall running the entire length of the wall behind the bar, luminous floating Frank Gehry fish flying around at one end of the room and an impressive 13ft crocodile, also by Gehry, climbing the wall at the other end.
The show goes on until late…
Address: Berkeley Square House, Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 6BR
COYA Angel Court
The restaurant group with locations in London (Mayfair and Angel Court), Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Monte Carlo and Paris.
Coya Angel Court is a stunning and vibrant venue in Central London, just a stone’s throw away from Bank Station.
As you walk into the venue you instantly will feel the spirit of Incan heritage being brought to life through the artworks, sea of plants and ambience.
The vibrant colours of COYA coupled with the bespoke handcrafted Latin American furniture offers a modern yet traditional feel to the restaurant. It’s an ideal venue for those looking to relax with friends, have a business meeting or to enjoy a romantic setting for two.
The main section of the restaurant features an open kitchen and sit-up ceviche counter with huge pots suspended above it.
In 2012 Executive chef Sanjay Dwivedi’s took a year-long gastro tour of Latin America on a hunt for the most exciting flavours, new ingredients and techniques in international contemporary cuisine. This is how Asian-influenced fusion dishes were born, influenced by flavours from Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and African cuisines, as vibrant as the décor, both in terms of flavour and presentation.
I really like the sharing concept of the menu which includes a range of ceviche, sashimi, tacos, small plates and marinated skewers as well as larger fish, seafood and meat dishes.
Address: 31-33 Throgmorton St, London EC2N 2AT.
I recommend all of these beautiful restaurants for a special occasion and not only. The location, food, drinks and super attentive service are top-notch. This calls for the price being a little steeper but you are worth it!
