VIVI by rhubarb – the creative team behind Sky Garden – brings London’s newest, stylish all-day dining destination to your social feeds - Live Your Best LifeTM and rack up those likes with all things candy floss, pastel pink and retro. THE DINING ROOM VIVI is divided into four unique dining zones: The Dining Room, The Gallery, the Liquid Lounge and The Bar. With a nostalgic British menu of modernised classics, The Dining Room will serve everything from breakfast through to brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, and will also offer a dedicated pre/ post-theatre menu. Head Chef Arnaud Delannay’s signature dishes focus on bold flavours and fresh seasonal ingredients, and feature twists on the old classics such as Keen’s twice baked cheddar soufflé; Chicken Kiev and mash; Lobster Thermidor and Duck à l’orange. Desserts go retro – think Black Forest gateaux; sherry trifle; apple and rhubarb crumble. VIVI BAR If drinks and bar bites are in order, then pull up a stool at VIVI Bar and enjoy old school bartending with a sophisticated and imaginative drinks & bites menu. Creative cocktails are inspired by the music and history of the VIVI era, such as the Wild Honey on the Beach (Bulleit Rye whiskey, Pimento Dram, lemon thyme infused honey, lemon), a homage to The Beach Boys, and The Weeping Guitar (Gin Mare, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, cucumber, elderflower, lime, tonic water), a toast to The Beatles.
