The restaurant is named after the Dehesa- a unique woodland area in Spain which is home to the black-footed Ibérico pigs – said to produce the best ham in the world. This reflects our commitment to quality and provenance and our dedication to carefully sourced products.

Pop in to share a board of the finest Jamón Ibérico carved to order along with a plate of manchegos with quince – accompanied with a glass of cold Fino. Try some courgette flowers stuffed with goats’ cheese and drizzled with honey or some chargrilled tiger prawns with smoked garlic butter and rosemary- washed down with a glass of crisp Albariño. Or how about chargrilled lamb chops with fresh peas, broad beans and mint and a glass of Pinot Nero.

Silk

Silk is a luxurious fine dining restaurant, and one of the three dining areas in the five-star Courthouse Hotel Kempinski opposite Liberty’s on Great Marlborough Street.

The room is covered by a huge vaulted glass ceiling and is framed by original English Oak panelling. The Judges bench, dock and witness stand have been kept in their original setting and greatly compliment the style of the restaurant. Silk’s style of menu is derived from the historical “Silk Road, a series of routes that criss-crossed Eurasia over land and sea encouraging trade from the first millennium BCE. Silk’s menu therefore takes the diner down the historical ‘silk route’, through Italy, the Middle East and Asia, providing exemplary dishes from the different cuisines with a la carte and tasting menus and including dishes like Kung samrot – king prawns with garlic and fresh spices, Kai haw bai toey – coriander root and pandan leaf wrapped chicken thigh, Stuffed crab – fresh spices infused cock crabs stuffed and served with raw mango salad & delicious desserts such as Hazelnut crusted chocolate fondant – raspberry and tirfala ice cream and orangette or Satin chocolate marquise – blood orange and mint soup, cherry and ginseng sorbet. With its talented team, innovative menu and unique setting, Silk has become a popular addition to the London restaurant scene & is well worth visiting both for it’s amazing decor and mouth-watering Asian cuisine.

Dean street townhouse

Dean Street Townhouse is a 39 bedroom hotel and all-day dining room, located in the thick of buzzing Soho, in central London. The dining room is open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner.

The four-storey Georgian townhouse, once home to the Gargoyle Club, is rich in both its historic past and its Georgian architecture.

The all-day dining room serves a weekly changing menu of seasonal British food, sourced locally from producers within the UK and Ireland. A private dining room is available to hire, seating up to twelve for meetings and private hire events.

Arbutus

Chef and co-owner Anthony Demetre is best known for his creative ability to transform thrifty ingredients into fine-dining delights. Unassuming decor and minimalist furnishings in Arbutus’ two-roomed dining area give little away – the excellence of the daily changing menu is the big draw.

The restaurant attracts Soho media types, food lovers and nearby office groups, which lend it a relaxed, buzzy and sometimes boisterous vibe. Service is faultless. The carte options can be pricey, but the set menus are seriously good value.

The food blends British culinary tradition with Modern European cooking styles. A rustic, chunky-textured terrine was sublimely succulent, the meaty, buttery flavours matching divinely with some sweetly acidic fruit chutney. A main of slow-cooked tender lamb, almost gamey in taste, worked well with meltingly soft aubergine slivers and light gnocchi – a marvellous Mediterranean twist. Puds hit the high notes; it’s hard to resist the famed ‘floating islands’ (proper custard, flecked with vanilla, topped with a fluffy poached-in-milk meringue). Wines are well priced, well chosen and available in 250ml carafes.
