Sometimes you just need to go all out. You’re in London, you want to have the London experience, so what better way to do it than by sampling caviar and cocktails?
The city is awash with eateries and drinking establishments of every kind, but finding good caviar can sometimes be a hard task. Fear not, because we’re going to run down some of the very best places to find caviar and cocktails in the city.
Bob Bob Ricard
To start with, Bob Bob Ricard is simply stunning to look at. The décor is all about rich colours, lashings of marble and gold. The moment you walk in, you can feel the overstated prestige of the place.
Happily, this is backed up by great food and drink. Bob Bob Ricard has stellar reviews from critics and patrons alike, and it’s quickly becoming a chic place to be seen. Try the white sturgeon, Siberian sturgeon or Russian Oscietra sturgeon caviar for a truly indulgent experience. Bobby’s Bar offers a range of champagnes and cocktails, but we say go for the cucumber martini or a rhubarb gin and tonic.
Hakkasan
Taking an Asian-inspired outlook and creating modern dishes, Hakkasan is a great place to get amazing caviar and cocktails, all under one roof. Long loved by Londoners, the restaurant is only half an hour from the Brewery Hotel, Chiswell Street and is the perfect place to spend an evening.
The cocktails on offer cover a full range and there should be something to suit every palette. The rhubarb margarita is refreshing and piquant, whilst the smoky negroni is very earthy and rich. If you’re in the mood for some caviar, then try the Peking duck with Royal Beluga caviar, reserve Qiandao or Prunier caviar. This dish is raved about online by visitors, so check it out.
J Sheekey
If you’ve staying the Brewery Hotel Chiswell Street and are wondering where to get amazing seafood for dinner, J Sheekey could very well be the answer. A mere four minutes from door to door, the restaurant serves up amazing fresh seafood and caviar.
The interior has a very relaxed, old-school feel to it, which is all soft light and warm tones. And if you’re in the mood for some fresh caviar, J Sheekey offers Royal Baeri and Oscietra, coming with blinis and crème fraiche. To go with it, J Sheekey also has an extensive menu of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, so there’s something to enjoy for everyone. Try out ‘The Wyndham’ – vodka, pear puree, apple juice, lemon juice, ginger and lemongrass syrup – for a really fruity, complex experience.
Dandelyan
Known as one of the very best cocktail bars in London, Dandelyan is the perfect place to retire to after you’ve been for The Montcalm London Afternoon Tea. Routinely ranking amongst the best bars worldwide, Dandelyan is the place to find your perfect cocktail.
The positively huge cocktail menu is divided up between different styles or flavours – grape, mint, classics, etc. – and there are some absolutely mouth-watering options on offer. The Pinnacle Point Fizz contains tequila, blue corn, aloe, ginger bitters, sour pineapple and soda for a mouth-puckering, yet refreshing, drink. Sample a few of the cocktails on offer and you may not ever want to leave.
