This summer is going to be all about al fresco dining. Popular dining districts in London are being transformed into outdoor dining hubs, while Soho’s Dean Street and Old Compton Street will be closed to traffic all together. Read on for our pick of the best outdoor restaurants in London, including details of reopening dates.
Al Fresco Dining: Best Outdoor Restaurants in London
Chicama – reopening 4 July
The second restaurant from the Pachamama group, Chelsea’s Chicama is a charming seafood restaurant named after a coastal town in Peru – not the word chic, although that does describe it well. If you can pry yourself away from the pretty beach-inspired indoors, the outdoor terrace is an equally lovely dining spot for sunny days: a petite plant-filled space overflowing onto the pavement on a quiet section of the Kings Road. From here, tuck into a meat-free menu of vibrant seafood and vegetarian small plates alongside colourful cocktails. 383 King’s Rd, Chelsea, London SW10 0LP.
Dalloway Terrace – reopening 4 July
Named after the eponymous character created by Virginia Woolf, forever a Bloomsbury association, Dalloway Terrace is similarly elegant, poetic and quintessentially English – and its flower-covered (and highly Instagrammable) outdoor space makes it one of the city’s most sought-after alfresco drinking spots. Home to 1,000 flowers, the restaurant is currently embracing the start of warmer weather with a tropical jungle inspired by Leonard Wolf’s novel, The Village in the Jungle and a botanical cocktail menu with Sri Lankan influence. 16-22 Great Russell St, Fitzrovia, London WC1B 3NN.
The Ivy Chelsea Garden – reopening 4 July
Paul Winch Furness
It would be wrong not to include this ever-popular Chelsea haunt, one of the prettiest outdoor restaurants in town. When the sun’s out, few places beat The Ivy’s garden. 197 King’s Rd, London, SW3 5EQ.
Aviary – reopening 4 July
As its name might suggest, Aviary is bird-themed, but you won’t need wings to see the London skyline here as iconic buildings such as The Gherkin and The Cheese Grater are within sight from their amazing roof terrace. Soak up the sights while tucking into a selection of small and large plates, like miso roast cauliflower, beef tartare, and feta and watermelon salad. 10th Floor Montcalm Royal, London House Hotel, 22-25 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1DX.
Petersham Nurseries – reopening 4 July
Nestled in between the foliage, plant pots and greenhouses is a restaurant at Petersham Nurseries, a dreamy spot even when the sun hasn’t got its hat on. Their second venue on Covent Garden’s Floral Street is also an idyllic lunch location, featuring a delicatessen, wine cellar and florist, as well as two restaurants. Petersham Rd, Richmond, TW10 7AB and 31 King St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8JD.
Rail House Cafe
While in the past Victoria hasn’t been much of a foodie destination, these days it’s brimming with great places to eat. This is mainly thanks to the new Nova development at Sir Simon Milton Square, a culinary hub with an array of outdoor restaurants and bars which flood onto the central promenade. One of these is Rail House Cafe, the younger sibling of Fitzrovia’s Riding House Cafe. With cosy cushions and a mix of small and large tables, their terrace is an ideal al fresco dining spot whether you’re after brunch, lunch or dinner; healthy or indulgent. Their summer menu features everything from bulgur wheat salads to smoked Applewood cheeseburgers, alongside a selection of small plates including sea bass ceviche and mac & cheese. 8 Sir Simon Milton Square, Victoria, London SW1E 5DJ.
Sea Containers London
Enjoy glorious views of the River Thames at this buzzy South Bank eatery, located on the bottom floor of the Sea Containers London (formerly Mondrian). Designed by maverick Tom Dixon, the restaurant exudes elegance, with nautical-inspired interiors drawing on the famous Sea Containers House: think copper-clad walls, leather chairs and bright yellow upholstery. This opens onto a brightly coloured terrace, running in partnership with Laurent Perrier for 2019. From here, guests can choose from the special seafood-focused terrace menu, featuring dishes like baked half lobster and scallop carpaccio – with lots of bubbly, of course. Alternatively, go for their all day menu, which offers a range of small plates, flatbreads, salads, meat and fish dishes. If you’re after something hearty, go for the dry-aged sirloin, cooked to perfection, or the pappardelle with asparagus and parmesan. Pop some small plates on the side: we recommend the moreish Padrón peppers, and their truffle mac and cheese is one of the best we’ve ever tasted. Delicious food, delightful staff and idyllic views: a winning combination. 20 Upper Ground, South Bank, London SE1 9PD.
Angler Roof Terrace at South Place Hotel
There’s long been a huge buzz around Angler, the Michelin-starred British seafood restaurant perched atop the South Place Hotel. On summer evenings their rooftop terrace functions as a delightful suntrap, away from the noise and heat of the city below. This year they’ve teamed up with Cambridge Distillery to bring a bit of countryside charm to the capital, with botanical-inspired decor, gin cocktails and English bar snacks like cuttlefish fritters; and crispy pork brawn with Gentleman’s relish. 3 South Place, London EC2M 2AF.
The River Café
The ultimate London spot for a long lunch in the sun with sublime Italian food and a perfect atmosphere. Guaranteed great food amid charming riverside surroundings. Thames Wharf, Rainville Rd, Hammersmith, London W6 9HA.
Chiltern Firehouse
Chiltern Firehouse has long been the place to see and be seen in London – and never more so than in the summer, when the sun-trap courtyard fills with the well-heeled Marylebone crowd. With its wicker chairs, black and white striped sofas and beautiful plants and greenery, head over for a delicious breakfast and stay for lunch and drinks as you soak up the sun in the ever-buzzy atmosphere. Nothing beats the heat like Chiltern’s fresh oysters paired with a few glasses of champagne…1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 7PA.
