Help London 40th!!

[Disabrie22]

Where would you go in central London for a really lovely, posh lunch - something different? Nice cocktails and great atmosphere - I have two weeks - please help

have a look at this, not exactly mega posh but something a bit different

Sketch
The Ivy
The Shard
Bibendum
Le Gavrouche
I don’t like Gordon ramsey’s but some do

Have a look at Yuatcha or Roka

Hawksmoor is really nice as well but maybe not special enough for a 40th?

Or (sorry, ideas keep coming) Coppa Club have those pods you can dine inside?

I love this bar for cocktails

I'm going to second duck and waffle

Ah! DDogMum I was just about to say that not sure OP would get a table at D&W as I think you need to be booking a month or two in advance (maybe not for lunch though). Also, maybe not posh enough?

Spring in Somerset House has to be the most beautiful dining room in London and a Michelin star chef ( Skye Gingel). Lovely atmosphere.

Sea Containers here is fab, not as expensive as some and has a brilliant cocktail bar. Right on the river and a very nice vibe. I went there for a big birthday girls’ lunch.

The Shard. Not eaten there but the cocktail bar is good.

In week or weeekend? If in the week lots of the fancy Michelin places do set lunches which are great for the level of food, service, extra bits etc. Not cheap cheap obviously, bit v good value and special. Partic love Helene Derozze at The Connaught, lovely staff, decor, bar.

(So extra bits meaning it says 3 courses but you get brought an amuse bouche and petit fours etc..)

Forgot this place, I love it. Not fancy, fancy but a brilliant vibe and you can sit all afternoon. Really nice decor.
Ham Yard Hotel

Try The Ned in Bank, lots of restaurants under one roof.

I love Dans me Noir and think everyone should do it at least once! Happy birthday.

le not me!

Another vote for Sketch, or Brasserie Zedel. The restaurant at the London Edition is also great, I think it’s Berner’s Tavern?

Duck and Waffle was terrifying, I couldn't eat after going up in the glass lift and I had to inch out slowly against the wall 😂 unless you're very brave I would avoid!

I quite enjoyed the sky garden but personally I would go somewhere like Hawksmoor for cocktails and steak.
