Courvoisier Summer of Punch

Courvoisier3

Summer’s here, the sun is (occasionally) out and it’s that time of year to enjoy an alfresco drink. Want a change from the usual tipples though? Summer drinks should be fruity, refreshing and designed for sharing, which is why Courvoisier has joined forces with 15 bars across London to create a variety of special punch recipes for you to enjoy. Read on to discover the bars involved and how Square Meal readers can get money off.

RESTAURANTS & BARS

  • The MilroyThe Milroy, Mayfair

    With its 200-hundred year history and prime Hyde Park position, No. 5 Hamilton Place – the stately residence adjoining the Intercontinental Hotel – might seem something of a mystery to some. For the last 60 years the building has been an exclusive private casino and members’ club, and now for the first it is opening its restaurant’s doors to the public. Expect classy, French food such as Dover sole, steak tartare or roast black-leg chicken in extremely opulent settings.

  • AnthologistThe Anthologist, Bank

    Those familiar with Canary Wharf’s Parlour and The Refinery in Southwark will know what to expect from this new sister site in the City – stylised interiors, a heavy emphasis on quality but accessible booze and a hearty line-up of international grub.

  • Osteria dell'OrologioOsteria dell'Orologio, Marylebone

    The Dorset Square Hotel has fashioned a decent neighbourhood trattoria in the form of Osteria dell'Orologio. Heavy wooden tables and displays of bread and fruit provide the backdrop for good-value food. Four courses are priced at £24, with a £10 lunch deal also popular.
