Fashion Week Roundup
To help you enjoy London Fashion week in style, we have put together the front row of restaurants to visit ……………..
Thomas’s Cafe at Burberry
With London Fashion Week fast approaching, where better to dine amongst the ultra-stylish than at Thomas’s Café at Burberry. Thomas’s remains a firm favourite, boasting an escape from the hustle and bustle of Regent Street. Offering a British, all-day dining experience, diners are invited to enjoy favourites such as the Sutton Hoo chicken salad, Bembridge lobster benedict, truffle crisps and the quintessentially British afternoon tea, whilst gazing upon accessories hot off the run way.
Sosharu
Jason Atherton’s Japanese Izakaya style restaurant Sosharu will be celebrating London Fashion Week this February with an exclusive six-course menu designed for two to share, priced at £40 per person. The stylish menu running from the 16th-23rd of February starts with the Chef’s selection of Sashimi before a choice of Temaki is offered, including the Grilled & Raw salmon temaki, the Tuna temaki and the Daikon & Cured carrot temaki. Broccoli Tempura follows a dish of Devon Crab with bitter leaves, pickled wakame, blood orange & salted combu, and the Skate-katsu accessorised with egg emulsion, pickled plum, slow roasted cabbage and a yakitori glaze brings an end to the savoury courses. The sweet finale of the menu is a choice between the Chocolate and sesame roll, or the ever fashionable Matcha Mille Crepe with Matcha Sorbet.
Pollen Street Social
With veganism at the height of fashion, Jason Atherton’s Pollen Street Social will provide the go-to post-show dining spot for the health-conscious fashion set. The eight-course Vegan tasting menu showcases dishes including Pearl barley with roasted Jerusalem artichoke and truffle or a Raw vegetable salad with lemon pureé, sourdough croutons and peanut dressing, providing a fresh and healthy dining experience that won’t make it difficult to fit into the Spring/Summer collections.

City Social
With art-deco interiors, sultry lighting and a relaxed atmosphere, the Michelin-starred City Social bar is the perfect after-party spot to head to after a day on the frow. With Instagram worthy cocktails and a panoramic view of the City from the 24th floor of Tower 42, it lends itself perfectly to any eager photographer. For those in need of a pick-me-up after a full day of shows, the coffee-based Black To The Future made with Mr Black cold pressed coffee liqueur, Aylesbury Duck vodka and dash of soy sauce is guaranteed to give you the kick you need.
Meraki
Meraki, the latest restaurant by the Waney brothers (Roka, Coya, The Arts Club), is no stranger to the fashionable crowds. A contemporary Greek restaurant in the heart of Fitzrovia, it’s vibrant and light Mediterranean menu and light interiors make it the perfect spot for a post or pre fashion show meal.

An oasis of Parisian charm in the heart of Soho, Blanchette draws in the fashion week crowds with its bistro menu of French sharing plates with a modern twist. Their whimsical cocktail list will also include a selection of Fashion Week specials.
The Square
It doesn’t get more fashionable than Mayfair, and the recently relaunched The Square offers a perfect escape from the frenzy of Fashion Week with its art gallery inspired interiors. Executive Chef Clément Leroy’s menu is designed for the model appetite, too, with a focus on fresh, light-as-a-feather flavours that are rarely associated with such haute cuisine.
