Bacchanalia Mayfair

Nestled on the storied corner of Berkeley Square in Mayfair at 1 Mount Street, Bacchanalia London emerges as a lavish ode to ancient Roman revelry, where Greek and Mediterranean cuisine unfolds amid opulent Greco-Roman splendor and theatrical indulgence. Unveiled in 2022 by billionaire restaurateur Richard Caring at a staggering £75 million cost, this immersive sanctuary—open daily from 12pm to 12am (Sundays until 10:30pm)—transports diners to Bacchus’s bacchanal feasts through shared plates, live opera, and a members-only club, captivating London’s elite for sensory-laden lunches, sunset suppers, or euphoric evenings in the city’s gilded enclave.

Step into Bacchanalia, and the interiors overwhelm with mythic grandeur—towering Damien Hirst sculptures, hand-painted murals of gods and muses, and 2,000-year-old Greco-Roman artifacts create a breath-taking, immersive tableau seating around 200, where toga-clad servers glide amid marble columns and flickering torchlight. The grand dining hall flows into a buzzing bar for aperitivo transitions, while the hidden Apollo’s Muse club (members like Kate Moss) pulses with exclusivity, and a petite outdoor terrace offers al fresco charm under Berkeley Square’s canopy. As dusk descends, live opera singers (Sundays until 3pm) and DJ sets ignite a rhythmic hum, drawing a glamorous throng of influencers, executives, and visitors into a haze of applause and convivial toasts. The atmosphere is hedonistic yet refined, perfect for a reflective solo feast, romantic odyssey, or group bacchanal that blurs the line between meal and midnight rapture.

The menu reimagines Mediterranean bounty with Greek and Roman accents, emphasizing shareable meze, grilled wonders, and seasonal twists from premium sources like Cornish crab and Scottish lamb, paired with an encyclopedic wine list and cocktails like the signature Through the Grapevine (£18)—Belvedere vodka with honey, grape, and apple for a floral, orchard kiss. Begin with the Truffle Pasta (£28), silken strands cloaked in black truffle cream with parmesan shavings, earthy and indulgent for communal twirling. The Crispy Calamari (£18) arrives golden with smoked chili aioli and lemon zest, light yet addictive for dipping.

Seafood enthusiasts savor the Seabream Ceviche (£22), fillets marinated in lime with sweet potato, corn, and aji amarillo—a zesty, oceanic ritual that’s vibrant and cooling. The Grilled Octopus (£26) chars tentacles with romesco, chickpeas, and preserved lemon, offering smoky tenderness with citrus lift. Mains spotlight the Lamb Souvlaki (£32), herb-marinated chops with tzatziki and grilled vegetables, juicy and aromatic. The Whole Sea Bass (£38) roasts herb-crusted with samphire and olive tapenade, flaky with subtle char. For a hearty share, the Food of the Gods Platter (£150 for two) layers wagyu skewers, feta-stuffed dates, and dolmades in a divine medley. Vegetarians delight in the Spanakopita (£16), flaky filo parcels of spinach, feta, and dill with yogurt dip, golden and herby. Sides like the Patatas Bravas (£10) add crispy, spicy crunch with alioli.

Desserts provide a decadent coda with the Tiramisu (£12), coffee-soaked layers of mascarpone and cocoa dust—velvety and bittersweet—or the Baklava (£10), honeyed pastry with pistachios and rose syrup for a sticky, nutty embrace.
