The Penthouse

Top: United Kingdom: England: London: Strand

Description

For a meal with a view, Penthouse is literally up there with the best of them. With the London Eye, Canary Wharf, Houses of Parliament and Nelson's Column fully visible from this vertiginous vantage point overlooking Leicester Square, this is a pretty amazing place to sip cocktails and eat well. Penthouse occupies the sixth, seventh and eighth floors of what was once superclub Home. The dark pink and black 7th floor restaurant is the culinary stomping ground of Martin Davies whose list boasts Asia de Cuba and New York's Soho House on his CV. His Pacific Rim menu with its touches of Thai, Japan and China is very urban, very trendy and very pleasing.
