Even with all the new openings coming out our ears, one of London’s prettiest dining rooms still remains Berners Tavern, a five star hotel on Berners Street just off Oxford Street. Ian Schrager is the designer and it’s got to be some of his finest work. The giant walls are filled with photos in varying shapes and sizes, some in gold leaf frames. The ceiling … Continue reading Berners Tavern, Fitzrovia
Awarded a Michelin star in 2015, this is the 8th restaurant in the UK Jason Atherton empire. Sitting pretty on the 24th floor of Tower 42 in the City, the view is pretty outstanding. We arrive early for a drink in the bar. Half the space is taken over for a private function, which matters not as we get a table by the window and … Continue reading City Social, Tower 42
Hai Cenato, meaning ‘have you had dinner?’ in Italian, is the latest opening from chef turned fashion icon Jason Atherton (Sosharu, Social Wine & Tapas and City Social). It’s in a new development in Victoria called Nova which has got restaurants aplenty all housed in glass fronted new-builds right by the station. We have an interesting arrival; a huge door which we can’t see into … Continue reading Hai Cenato, Victoria
With Pollen Street Social, Little Social, Social Eating House, City Social, Berners Tavern, not to mention a plethora of restaurants all over the world, can Jason Atherton do no wrong? Well I think he might have stretched himself one too far with his latest opening Social Wine and Tapas on James Street, right opposite Patty&Bun. It’s an odd space made up of lots of little dining … Continue reading Social Wine and Tapas
Backed by none other than Jason Atherton, Typing Room is the new restaurant which replaces Viajante in the Bethnal Green Town Hall. I was really sad to hear Nuno Mendes (now of Chiltern Firehouse fame) was closing Viajante as it was such a unique and exciting restaurant. Intrigued as ever by a new opening, we popped down for lunch to see what head chef Lee … Continue reading Typing Room, Bethnal Green
Based in Tower 42, City Social is the latest restaurant from serial restaurateur Jason Atherton (he also owns Michelin starred Pollen Street Social and Social Eating House, along with Berners Tavern and Little Social). It replaces the old Gary Rhodes restaurant but the place is totally unrecognisable – thank God! We arrived at the 24th floor (only half way up the building) and not only … Continue reading City Social, Tower 42
Berners Tavern is Jason Atherton’s latest restaurant (he also owns Michelin starred Pollen Street Social, Little Social and Social Eating House) and it is situated inside the rather stylish London Edition Hotel. The hotel is a joint venture between Ian Schrager (a big American hotelier) and Marriott Hotels and is set to feature an exclusive night club and two bars alongside its 173 rooms. As … Continue reading Berners Tavern
Social Eating House is the latest restaurant from Jason Atherton who also owns Little Social and Michelin starred Pollen Street Social. It’s a very pretty restaurant both on the outside and inside. The ground floor dining room has a few booths for larger parties with leather banquet seating round the edge and the rest is made up of quite small wooden chairs (where we were … Continue reading Social Eating House
