Settling in London after a month of European Boat Shows, Sunseeker London recommends their top places to Eat, Drink and Sleep around stylish Belgravia.
EAT: Olivomare
Situated on the picturesque and stylish Lower Belgrave Street, Olivomare provides exactly what you would expect from an Italian Sardinian seafood restaurant. The classic style Italian menu with a modern interpretation brings out the best of what the Italian seafood kitchen has to offer. The classically rooted menu is contrasted by a very modern, sleek, all-white interior, providing the guest with a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
A quote from SQUARE MEAL describes Olivomare, “Sardinian islanders have an ingrained love of seafood – a passion that is fully expressed at this stylish neighbourhood eatery. ‘Blindingly white’ from floor to ceiling, the modish interior is pointed up with strange jellyfish light fittings & a modernist fish mural that hints at the piscine delights on offer. Oysters, sea urchins, anchovies, lobsters, monkfish et al appear in all manner of guises, from risottos & pastas to char-grills with bold Italian sauces. Start with cured tuna, green beans & sun-dried tomatoes before sampling crab linguine with garlic & chilli or salt-crusted sea bass. A fine selection of Sardinian whites stands out on the exclusively Italian wine list, which also includes a smattering of island ‘stickies’ – try them with tiramisu or a slice of date & almond tart.”
Olivomare is vibrant and busy; Londoners mixing it up with globetrotters, fashionistas and business travellers all looking for a delicious immersion in southern Italian ambiance and cuisine. Together it creates an eclectic mixture where the food does its own talking, but alas, rightfully so do its guests!
