Suffused with the dramatic splendour of its stained glass dome, dining at 1901 at Andaz Hotel London in Liverpool Street is a sophisticated affair in elegant interiors and a modern British cuisine menu with a sparkling wine list to match. Unwind at leisure as time passes graciously.

Ingredients of known provenance and quality provide diners with a menu that is interesting and well balanced. Tuck into pot roasted wood pigeon and cauliflower puree, duck liver mousse with manjari chocolate or king prawn cocktail to sample what's on offer. Then take the plunge with confit shoulder of lamb with smoked aubergine, salmon risotto with octopus or pot roasted loin of venison with truffle jus. Desserts of Cambridge burnt cream with homemade Mandarin marmalade, gingerbread with Chantilly cream and rice pudding with aniseed poached pear as well as cheeses of Boswell Ash, Wigmore and Adrahan make for a happy ending. Your choice of sherry cobbler, black pear, Polish sling or Bellini gives the occasion its edge.
