Atrium SW1

With The English Pig already doing good business near the Barbican, Johnnie Mountain has taken on a new challenge – fronting the culinary action at this revamped venue directly opposite the Houses of Parliament. Located beneath a striking glass atrium, it mixes luxury with a touch of boho chic, while the food is defined as ‘old school… with a hint of molecular’. Eat casually from a brasserie-style menu of small plates & populist standbys (think pork hock terrine with black pudding, rabbit ragoût or beetroot risotto), or sample the full works in the swanky Atrium Floor. ‘Day-caught fish’ & specials from the ‘vegetable allotment’ sit alongside the likes of duck leg with kohlrabi, pickled cherries & bitter leaves or venison with swede, kale, orange & juniper. There’s also heaps of decent drinking by the glass on the concise modern wine list.
