Bloomsbury Street Kitchen, a unique new neighbourhood restaurant and bar to launch in August 2019

Set to open in August 2019, Bloomsbury Street Kitchen will bring a modern day-to-night neighbourhood restaurant and bar to the heart of London’s buzzing West End.

Embracing the relaxed art of shared dining, the restaurant will showcase an exquisite selection of contemporary Mediterranean and Japanese small plates, complemented by a diverse variety of wines, sake and signature cocktails. Healthy options such as ‘Sea Bream with Amalfi Lemon and Sweet Apple’ and ‘Yellowtail Sashimi with Spicy Yuzu Soy’ will sit alongside more indulgent dishes from the land and sea, including ‘Charcoal-Grilled Mediterranean Herbed Lamb Cutlets with Hummus’ and ‘Crispy Soft Shell Crab Harumaki Rolls with Spicy Ponzu’.

With its design taking equal inspiration from Mediterranean gardens and the minimalist Japanese aesthetic, Bloomsbury Street Kitchen will spotlight plantings to create dynamic and atmospheric interiors. Italian glazed porcelain tiles will feature alongside white-washed exposed brickwork, while the more formal dining areas will be separated from the internal gardens through the use of bespoke white metal and glass screens. 

The restaurant will hold 74 covers, split between 60 in the main dining area, 8 on a semi-private dining table and 6 at the chef’s counter, which will offer diners the opportunity to experience the kitchen team working at a raw bar with the highest quality ingredients to present standout sashimi and tartare dishes. A lounge bar will feature an additional 46 covers, while the intimate outdoor garden, dotted by plants such as Mediterranean olive trees and Japanese sago palms, will seat a further 16 around zinc-topped tables.

Open for breakfast through to lunch and dinner, Bloomsbury Street Kitchen is set to be a glamorous sunrise to sunset destination venue and the latest hotly anticipated addition to the capital’s drinking and dining scene.
