Merkaba

A chic and contemporary space, Merkaba offers pan-European dining, blending Eastern and Western flavours. In the vibrant bar, glamorous cocktails are served until late.

The sleek, minimalist interior features a silver and purple colour scheme, contemporary furnishings and modern artwork. During the summer months, the bar opens out on to the stylish al fresco area on Bayley Street.

Housed in my hotel Bloomsbury, Merkaba London focuses on fresh, seasonal produce with dishes like pan fried scallops with chorizo mash and fennel vinaigrette, prawn and crayfish cakes with mango gazpacho or pappardelle with braised oxtail and parmesan. Served all day, the exciting menu also features a range of fresh salads and simple, tasty sandwiches.

Trendy and sophisticated, the bar has a range of healthy smoothies, along with indulgent cocktails like apple mojito, festive margarita or an after dinner sinner. Offering informal dining and drinking, the service at Merkaba is always friendly and attentive.
