Berners Tavern, set in the chic London Edition Hotel, offers a visually stunning atmosphere and attentive service, perfect for a special night out.
"Having dinner at Berners Tavern feels like eating inside the Sistine Chapel, or at least a really, really rich guy’s house. The posh brasserie food’s good, but you’re really paying for the atmosphere—it’s a rite of passage to pretend that the ridiculously ornate decor and high ceilings are no big deal. It’s excellent for celebrations with a group, or when you’re going all-out to impress someone. If you don’t want to commit to a full meal, the bar’s excellent for an epic drink before you hit a show." - Team Infatuation
"Go on, leave those jeans at home. They’ve worked hard all year. When you’re looking to wear something from the section of your wardrobe that rarely gets to see the light of day, Berners Tavern is a good place to start. Part of the Edition Hotel in Fitzrovia, this big British restaurant serves a very decent steak and looks like Louis XIV had a hand in the interior design. Expect Versailles-style moulded ceilings, countless gold-framed oil paintings, and the kind of lighting that makes you look 20% more like a member of the Hadid family than you do now." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
"Atherton’s restaurant serves rich, comfort food with a signature subtle twist, is the spiritual center of the property." - Ashley Simpson
"This cavernous dining room in London Edition harks back to old-school glamour. The walls of Berners Tavern in Fitzrovia are adorned with art in gilt-edged frames and brown leather banquettes are the best seats in the house. The contemporary British menu offers dishes like slow-cooked Herdwick lamb and pork and pistachio pie. At breakfast, go for the Berners Tavern full English." - Daisy Meager
"Jason Atherton is the master at creating a buzzy atmosphere at his restaurants, as evidenced by the fact that it's nearly impossible to land a reservation at Pollen Street Social and the Social Eating House. Meanwhile, Berners Tavern, located inside Ian Schrager's Edition Hotel in Fitzrovia, is no exception, attracting locals in the creative industry for breakfast and lunch meetings, and a decidedly more dressed up crowd for dinners and weekend brunch. Here, inside the large ballroom-like space, which is covered from floor to ceiling in a dramatic display of framed images, Atherton serves up meaty, seasonal British game along with some of the best Dover Sole in town. The sleek private dining room for 12 doesn't lose out on any of the drama, as its situated right under a restored, historic skylight. "
