      Our Menu

      Guests can look forward to a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired menu, crafted by Executive Chef Arturo Granato, that perfectly complements the welcoming spirit of the Bistrot. From our raw bar to our indulgent bowls of homemade pasta & traditional Italian Pizzetta – Arturo creates seasonal menus to reflect the best in Mediterranean cooking.

      Indulge in hearty dishes or join our lively spot for after-work drinks and relaxed family sharing style grazing. We encourage our guests to ‘get stuck in’ – designed to be shared, our menu offers a beautiful selection of dishes that can sit in the centre of your table and be shared amongst your group.

      Looking for a more traditional type of service, don’t worry – we have that covered too!

      When the opportunity arises, take advantage of some rare London sunshine & enjoy your meal on our al fresco terrace – where you really can transport yourself to a mediterranean veranda.

      Timeless aperitif a playful, lighter twist.

      Timeless aperitif a playful, lighter twist.

      The experience extends to the bar, now a vibrant stage for Vermouth. Inspired by Italy, France and Spain, the new cocktail list gives this timeless aperitif a playful, lighter twist. A highlight is the Reverse Dirty Martini, where the usual proportions are flipped to let Vermouth shine – refreshing, aromatic and fun. Other bespoke creations explore its herbal complexity, offering guests an easy-going way to drink socially without feeling too boozy. To sit alongside, is an affordable and approachable wine list that celebrates the vineyards of the Mediterranean basin, with bottles from Spain, Portugal, Lebanon and Italy bringing warmth and character to the table.
