London’s latest rooftop restaurant and bar Aviary to open

By James Russell: London’s latest rooftop restaurant and bar Aviary to open

November 25, 2016

Flock to the top of the capital’s hottest new rooftop destination, Aviary, opening with an exclusive 50% off food soft launch offer from Thursday 1st – Sunday 4th December (inclusive).

Perched on the 10th floor of the new Montcalm Royal London House Hotel in Finsbury Square with enviable views out over the City, leading restaurant and bar operator ETM Group has taken dining to new a whole new level with its first sky-high restaurant and terrace bar.

Nestled between the City and Shoreditch, the 6,000 sq ft rooftop dining destination designed by Russell Sage Studio features an impressive central bar which elegantly divides the stylish restaurant area from the opulent bar lounge. The eclectic interiors bring the outdoors in with hanging planters alongside gold drinks cases, plush single seating and relaxed banquettes creating a bright, vibrant vibe. Meanwhile, comfortable lounge seating out on the heated terrace provides spectacular views of some of London’s most iconic buildings.

Head Chef Dan Loftin, previously of Kensington Place, will be serving only the highest quality British meat sourced from small livestock farmers using the best of the UK’s heritage breeds, for example, White Park cattle from Dorset and Longhorn cows from the Lake District.

All fish will be responsibly sourced from south coast day boats and British fishing ports, wherever possible. The prime meat cuts and fish served on-the-bone will be cooked over live charcoal at temperatures of up to 550°C in Aviary’s cast iron Bertha coal oven to ensure the best possible flavour, compared to traditional cooking methods.

An array of beautifully crafted cocktails will embrace a botanic theme using natural ingredients such as Manuka honey in a fresh and innovative way. Presented in stylish copper tankards and extra special copper pineapple sharing serves, the unique creations will feature alongside a comprehensive wine and beer list.

Aviary is ETM’s second venue to open in the Montcalm Royal London House Hotel, with café, bar and restaurant, Burdock on the ground floor, which opened last month. Burdock offers an approachable, casual menu of small plates and sharing dishes, again using the very best of British seasonal produce.
