From dishes that look like pieces of art to impressive interiors and breathtaking views of the city, we’ve rounded up the most Instagrammable restaurants in the West End, so get your camera ready and add these spots to your list!
Impressive interiors
If you’re looking for a unique setting to dine in, then look no further than Berners Tavern and Brasserie of Light.
Berners Tavern at The London EDITION has an old school, heritage feel to it. The dining room is adorned with paintings and the chandelier and ornate ceiling decorations bring the scheme together. Their new brunch menu features the classics such as Eggs Florentine alongside more adventurous and beautifully plated options such as Fried Chicken and Waffles.
Brasserie of Light offers a contemporary, artistic and elegant setting and features London’s largest scale artwork by Damien Hirst, the suspended mythical, sparkling horse irrupting through the wall – we don’t think there is a better photo opportunity than this! Not only is the setting beautiful, their new Splash Set Menu is great value and delicious – try the Grilled Cumin and Oregano Chicken and thank us later.
Works of art
We know that snapping a picture of your plate is a must when visiting a restaurant, so look no further than Market Halls for the famous Dragon Roll, made of tempura shrimp and avocado, from Imano Sukoshi or head to the Selfridges food hall for a delicious and aesthetically pleasing Matcha Milkshake from Jenki – the store is just as pretty as the drinks!
