Bacchanalia, the celebrated culinary haven nestled in the heart of Berkeley Square, is set to welcome the Spring season with open arms, presenting a tantalising new menu brimming with seasonal delights.
Patrons can embark on a gastronomic journey inspired by the Mediterranean, as Bacchanalia pays homage to the ancient marvels of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Indulge in Greco-Roman Gastronomy
Stepping into Bacchanalia is akin to entering a realm where Greco-Roman mythology comes to life, weaving a tapestry of culinary excellence that transcends time.
Head Chef Theo Zarikakis, with his culinary prowess, has meticulously crafted a menu that transports diners to the sun-kissed shores of Greece, offering a symphony of flavours and textures that delight the senses.

Equally enticing is the succulent chicken “souvla”, served with spicy whipped feta, cucumber, and mint salad (£38), a dish that embodies the essence of Mediterranean indulgence.
