6 Culinary & Cocktail Gems in London
A few meals and cocktails I still think about...
Whether you're looking for an intimate dining experience or a world-class cocktail, these six establishments promise an unforgettable evening.
The Cadogan Arms
A proper British pub in Chelsea with a stylish twist and buzzing atmosphere that makes it feel both classic and new. Of course, I loved the pink walls and abundance of florals throughout.
Their homemade vegan burger was by far the best I’ve ever had. It was one of those meals that you miss the minute you’re done eating, and I still dream about that burger.
Wild Tavern
Another Chelsea gem is Wild Tavern, with a rustic yet sophisticated charm. Come here for fresh seafood, homemade pasta and a warm and welcoming ambiance that’s perfect for date night.
Everything was delicious, but the standout was the tagliatelle with octopus bolognese. YUM.
Artesian at The Langham
A four-time winner of the "World’s Best Bar" award, Artesian at The Langham is a cocktail lover’s dream. With a menu that pushes the boundaries of mixology, this luxurious bar offers innovative drinks in a chic, modern setting.
One of London’s most famous cocktail bars, and for good reason. The space is stylish and the drinks are delicious.
The Restaurant at The Twenty Two
Nestled in a converted Edwardian house in Mayfair, the restaurant at The Twenty Two feels like a private 18th-century French dining room — with rich velvet furnishings, chandeliers and deep blue tones.
The atmosphere is warm and intimate, perfect for a special night out to unwind in plush seating while enjoying exceptional service.
The Connaught Bar
Known for its signature martinis and impeccable service, the award-winning Connaught Bar is a must-visit for those who appreciate expertly-crafted cocktails in a stylish setting.
Think platinum silver walls, geometric art deco patterns and bartenders who treat cocktail making like an art form. Their signature martini—infused with bergamot oils—is smooth, fragrant and unforgettable.
Dinings SW3
This Chelsea sushi spot has a slick, modern vibe—think warm woods, soft lighting, and a counter where you can watch the chefs work their magic. You’ll feel like you’ve been transported to Tokyo, where each piece of sushi and creative dish are better than the last.
