Hotel Café Royal proudly introduces its newest dining jewel, Barbounia, situated in the heart of London's Regent Street. Overlooking the mesmerizing 700-pound Murano glass chandelier and reception designed by Piero Lissoni, Barbounia brings an authentic blend of Italian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to the luxury hotel.

Crafted by Chef Alessandro Verdenelli, the menu seamlessly combines traditional cooking techniques with a modern touch, emphasizing top-tier ingredients locally and seasonally sourced. Barbounia, translating to red mullet in Greek, presents a comprehensive all-day dining menu with classic Mediterranean flavors, featuring fresh seafood, meat dishes, handmade pasta, and delightful pizzettas. Whether for a casual dinner with loved ones or a formal business lunch, guests can choose from an array of small plates, sharing platters, main dishes, salads, sides, and desserts.

The appetizers and small plates include the Raw Counter, offering the Royal Platter for two, oysters, beef carpaccio, caviar, red tuna tartare with avocado and rocket, grilled octopus, and black truffle arancini with Parmesan cream. Main courses feature artisanal pasta creations like Lobster Tortelli with cherry tomatoes, bisque, and micro parsley, as well as Veal Milanese and fresh fish options such as Red Mullet with lemon and Provençal sauce.

Barbounia introduces its unique twist on the traditional ‘Aperitivo Hour’ with the ‘House Selection’—a shared platter of oysters, red prawns, langoustines with olives, Parmigiano, and truffle arancini, accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine or wine for £40 per person. This special offering is available from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Additionally, in line with the hotel’s family-friendly ethos, children under 12 years old are invited to dine on a complimentary basis.

Barbounia is a delightful addition to the diverse culinary offerings at Hotel Café Royal, joining the likes of the two-Michelin starred restaurant Alex Dilling at Hotel Cafe Royal, Cakes & Bubbles by Albert Adrià, the renowned Afternoon Tea at The Grill Room, and the Green Bar with its recently introduced menu centered around absinthe.
