Located on Mayfair’s Mount Street, the elegant alfresco space seats 28 guests and is decorated with lush greenery. Open daily from noon until 10.30pm, the menu embraces Mediterranean flavours with dishes such as Caesar salad with Amalfi lemon and dry cured egg yolk, zucchini linguine with aged feta, mint and breadcrumbs and lamb souvlaki with yoghurt, cucumber and mint.
Elsewhere, in Marylebone, The Churchill Bar (part of Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill) has launched a new cocktail menu for the summer months alongside a new design for its popular terrace on Portman Square.
UNITY celebrates the traditions of the bar team’s respective cultures with 12 signature cocktails that explore flavour and ingredient combinations inspire by the Americas, Asia and Europe.
Head to Central America with Mexica Empire – made using an award-winning Belize spirit, Rum Copalli – or enjoy a Mama Maria, inspired by the Med’s fruit farming heritage and made using Lakes Distillery The One whisky, a homemade juice of beetroot shrub and bell peppers and sweet vermouth.
There is also an opportunity to try Maestra Bertha, created using Casa Dragones tequila, Angostura Bitters and a black truffle perfume.
For a taste of Argentina this summer, head to the new Vineyard Terrace at Gaucho Piccadilly with a range of malbecs on offer with wines from Trapiche, one of the country’s oldest brands, alongside a South American menu with dishes such as seabass ceviche.
