London is famous for its rich history, diversified culture, and thriving food scene.

Dans le Noir? will serve you dinner in full darkness. This one-of-a-kind eating experience in Clerkenwell tests your senses as you traverse a surprise multi-course menu using only taste, smell, touch, and sound. Not only is the concept exciting, but it also promotes social inclusion by using vision challenged waitstaff who excel at taking you through this sensory trip.

The Attendant
Have you ever wished to eat in a lavatory? The Attendant in Fitzrovia, on the other hand, makes that idea very enticing.

The inside is equally unique, with exotic artefacts and lush flora giving customers the impression that they are dining in a tropical rainforest.

The Bunyadi
The Bunyadi is London’s first nudist restaurant, albeit it is only open for a limited time and may not be suitable for everyone. This one-of-a-kind eating concept encourages diners to embrace their natural selves while dining on organic, vegan, and grilled fare. Customers can dine clothed or undressed in separate portions of the restaurant.

Duck & Waffle
Duck & Waffle truly takes dining to new heights. This restaurant, located on the 40th level of a skyscraper in the City of London, provides stunning views of the city skyline 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can enjoy British and European meals with a modern touch, such as the famous Duck & Waffle. It’s ideal for a romantic sunrise or late-night eating experience.

Bob Bob Ricard
Bob Bob Ricard in Soho is the place to go if you’ve ever wanted to dine in a fancy train compartment.

Dishoom King’s Cross
