Riviera

Brought to you by ‘Forbes 3o Under 30’ winning twins Alberto and Arian Zandi, Riviera is the latest launch in Emerald Hospitality Group’s portfolio, replacing Hakkassan-owned Sake No Hana on St James Street. While the opening night took place on April 21st, the restaurant runs so smoothly one would not be able to tell its novelty. Inspired by the French Riviera, the restaurant brings summer to London – with light, refreshing interiors, and Mediterranean cuisine. The tunes take volume later in the evening, with a DJ bringing the lively feeling of the South of France to Mayfair.

Best for: Glamorous weekend outings – the more seats at the table, the merrier.
