Those in search of a fun dinner venue for a big group of people after a day at the shows should head to Ember Yard, mere minutes away from the London Fashion Week hub. The latest restaurant from the Salt Yard Group serves up delicious dishes from Tuscany and the Basque region, cooked on their bespoke charcoal and wood grill. The menu includes chargrilled Ibérico pork ribs, smoked ribeye and grilled hake – perfect for sharing with friends. Plus, those with a London Fashion Week wristband will get a free cocktail on entry.
The beloved Italian deli Lina Stores is catering to fashion week's
frazzled editors with its new grab-and-go lunch boxes. The Soho
institution will be whipping up restorative hot dishes and sandwiches
with its unrivalled selection of fresh pastas, cured meats and cheeses
(think spicy 'nduja sausage and creamy burrata with gnocchi) as well as
delicious antipasti, salads and drinks – plenty of fuel to keep you
going between shows.
The Riding House Café is bringing back its fashion-faux-pas-themed
cocktails for the autumn/winter 2016 shows, with this season's tipples
named after famous red-carpet fails. Available from 16-23 February, the
five cocktails include the alcohol-free Bad Ballerina (so-called because
of Lara Flynn Boyle's infamous Oscars tutu), made from pomegranate
juice, pear, lemon and ginger, and the Brit-Ju True Blue concoction of
Blue Curaçao, lemon, egg white and sugar (an ode to Britney Spears and
Justin Timberlake's double-denim look).
Peruvian barbeque and ceviche restaurant Señor Ceviche will once again
be catering to the fashion set during London Fashion Week, with the
return of its superfood menu. Making the most of South America's
plethora of tasty yet healthy ingredients (including sweet potato,
edamame, purple corn, choclo corn and plantain), dishes include sea
bream ceviche, tuna tiradito (similar to sashimi) and hot crab causa (a
Peruvian terrine).
You only have to take one look at Instagram to see that the fashion
world is obsessed with healthy eating at the moment. Cue Jason Atherton,
whose Pollen Street Social has recently launched London's first
Michelin-starred vegan menu. With dishes including raw vegetable salad
with lemon purée, sourdough croutons and peanut dressings as well as
pearl barley with roasted Jerusalem artichoke and truffle, it's the
perfect place for a post-show debrief.
Keep doing
