Bacchanalia Mayfair

Why we recommend Bacchanalia in London

Bacchanalia sits on the London dining map for a specific reason — West End or Mayfair dining with Michelin, chef or members-club credentials — and it comes up on our concierge calls often enough that it earned a proper page on the site. Outside of Las Vegas, MyRSVP does not hold restaurant inventory; this write-up is meant to give you enough context to reserve confidently with the restaurant directly, then pair the night with a nightclub or pool booking through us if the rest of the trip calls for it. Think of it as a curator’s recommendation rather than a reservation funnel.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

The 200-seat dining hall anchors around towering Damien Hirst sculptures, hand-painted murals of gods and muses, and 2,000-year-old Greco-Roman artifacts beneath flickering torchlight—toga-clad servers navigate marble columns as live opera singers (Sundays until 3pm) and evening DJ sets create a rhythmic backdrop. Richard Caring’s £75 million vision, opened in 2022 on Berkeley Square’s corner at 1 Mount Street, splits dining across the grand hall, a buzzing bar for aperitivo transitions, and the members-only Apollo’s Muse club where exclusivity pulses separately. The menu trades in shareable Mediterranean plates: start with Truffle Pasta (silken black truffle cream, parmesan) or Crispy Calamari (smoked chili aioli, lemon), move through Seabream Ceviche or Grilled Octopus (romesco, chickpeas, preserved lemon), and anchor on mains like Lamb Souvlaki or Whole Sea Bass, or the Food of the Gods Platter for two (wagyu skewers, feta-stuffed dates, dolmades). The wine list runs encyclopedic; signature cocktails like Through the Grapevine blend Belvedere vodka with honey, grape, and apple. A petite outdoor terrace under Berkeley Square’s canopy offers al fresco relief from the hedonistic, theatrical interior where lunches stay reflective and evenings blur into midnight rapture.

Reservations — how to book Bacchanalia

A quick note on how to use this page: Bacchanalia sits on our curated London dining shortlist, but MyRSVP doesn’t hold restaurant inventory here — that concierge service is Las Vegas-only. For the reservation, book direct with the venue on whichever channel they use (their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or phone). For a nightclub, pool day, or beach club layered into the same London trip, that is the part where MyRSVP picks up — submit the form on the relevant venue page and we will coordinate that side of the evening with your dinner reservation as the anchor point.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Bacchanalia. The room operates on these hours: Monday–Saturday 12:00 PM – 1:00 AM; Sunday 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM. On the dress side: Smart and elegant; no caps, ripped or distressed clothes, fitness trainers or sliders. No sportswear. Peak demand in London falls around year-round, with Wimbledon fortnight, Royal Ascot, and the Nov–Dec Christmas party season as sharpest peaks, sharpest on Wimbledon fortnight, Royal Ascot — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.

How MyRSVP helps with the rest of your London trip

Reserving Bacchanalia. Use the restaurant’s own booking channel for the dinner reservation; availability, private dining and chef’s-counter inventory live with the restaurant, not with MyRSVP. Dinner reservations are direct with Bacchanalia. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
