Bacchanalia, the new restaurant concept from Richard Caring has opened reservations today in advance of its grand opening on Thursday, 24 November.
Curated by Caring and interior architect Martin Brudnizki, the dining room will feature four Damien Hirst statues, hand-painted ceiling murals and an array of 2,000-year-old Greek and Roman artworks.
Taking centre stage, will be Gary Myatt’s floor-to-ceiling interpretation of ‘Romans In Their Decadence’, which can be seen coming to life through Bacchanalia’s new video released today.
Chef Athinagoras Kostakos has crafted a menu inspired by Greek and Italian cuisine.
Dishes will be finished at tables, offering a theatrical feast for diners. Seasonal dishes will include crab salad, seabream carpaccio, risotto nero for three and turbot for two to share.
The restaurant’s wine list has been individually selected by Caprice Holdings’ group wine director, Terry Kandylis, and will feature over 650 references from Greece, Italy, France and beyond.
Bacchanalia will be the only venue in London to feature 25 Italian 100-point wines and will also include exclusive Bacchanalia own-label wines including a House Champagne, Champagne Rare, Super Tuscan red and Assyrtiko white wine.
As well as the main restaurant and mezzanine seating, the restaurant will feature a private dining room, Artemis, with large windows overlooking the entire restaurant below.
Guests will be able to experience a weekly programme of international DJs and live performances, as well as al-fresco seating with views across Berkeley Square.
Furthermore, the space will feature Apollo’s Muse, London’s newest and most exclusive members’ club inspired by the Admirable Gallery at Villa Albani. The members-only area will offer a bespoke menu, exquisite experiences, and a weekly programme of members-only events.
