Situated on the sixth floor of 1 Warwick in the heart of London’s Soho, Yasmin – an intimate rooftop restaurant and bar with a stunning wrap-around terrace – will open on Tuesday 9th April.
From next month, Yasmin will welcome guests for seasonal small plates and elegant cocktails with a vibrant new menu from executive chef Tom Cenci, who also oversees the kitchen at 1 Warwick’s ground floor restaurant, Nessa.
By day, the secluded 64-cover terrace will offer a unique space for Middle Eastern sharing plates and sundowner cocktails, while the intimate indoor space (seating a further 30 guests) is set to be Soho’s newest destination for late-night dining, drinking and revelry. Overlooking the busy streets below, Yasmin’s stylish aesthetic will be the perfect setting for guests to enjoy dishes from Cenci who has created a relaxed menu inspired by his time living and cooking in Istanbul. Starting with snacks and dips, the menu will also include larger dishes such as sumac cured salmon, smoked yoghurt, citrus and chilli, islak bun, beef patty and spiced tomato and sesame smoked duck, black za’atar, grilled corn salad
To drink, signature serves will include the Grand Bazaar – Yasmin’s take on an Old Fashioned – with Evan Williams, Mancino Rosso, bitter honey aperitif and fig; At the River which mixes Mermaid vodka, Aperol, rose liquor with notes of citrus or the Shapash – a twist on a spicy Margarita mixing Cazcabel Blanco with chilli, watermelon and green strawberry.
Also available will be a selection of No and Lo cocktails including the Queen Bee made with Pentire Adrift, hibiscus and Noughty Chardonnay (with the option to swap Noughty for prosecco for a Lo) and the Atlas Ever After a spritz made with Everleaf Forest, watermelon, lime, grapefruit soda.
Visitors to Yasmin will arrive via the 1 Warwick members house, before making their way straight to the sixth floor to be met by warm and inviting interiors designed by London and LA-based studio Fettle.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while marble-topped tables paired with pink velvet seating and huge rattan pendants create a glamorous yet informal space, seeing guests through from a relaxed lunch to late-night exploits, whatever the weather.
During the warmer months, the wrap-around terrace is the perfect spot for groups of two to 20 to soak up the sun and enjoy dinner al fresco.
