Restaurant Review: Bacchanalia
Nestled in the heart of London’s distinguished Mayfair district, Bacchanalia has finally opened, redefining the art of fine dining with its exquisite blend of opulence and innovation, featuring five huge Damien Hirst statues and hand painted murals by Gary Myatt.
This 75-million-pound project was created with Bacchus the classical God of wine and wild things as a muse, with a dress code of smart elegance, the restaurant is looking to serve people who want to experience the reimagined Greco-Roman feasting. Bacchanalia exudes an air of refined elegance from the moment you enter, the soft lighting casts a warm glow over plush furnishings, whilst the hirst statues hanging from the ceiling, which cost a hefty ten million pounds, as well as a Medusa and floor to ceiling murals creates a luxurious ambience, almost like a museum rather than a restaurant.
This small attention to detail does not just stop at the walls and statues, the menu has a refined menu serving Mediterranean food. It draws inspiration from both traditional and contemporary culinary techniques, showcasing a symphony of flavours and textures that flirt with the palate. My highlights from the menu included the Crab Risotto and the truffle pasta. It has an extensive bar list, reflecting the classical God Bacchus. As well as having a large selection of vegan food, and vegan desserts that are not just sorbets! The service is impeccable, the waiters just can’t do enough for you.
