Below Zero

A subterranean secret to some and a hidden gem to others, Below Zero is one of London's favourite restaurants and lounge bars. Home to the world famous Absolut Icebar, this is a perfect place to enjoy warm or cold cocktails and fine food in comfortable, atmospheric surroundings. Originally used as the wine vaults for the British monarchy, the interior is dressed in a palette of Dorset cream, burgundy, claret and chocolate, exuding richness and warmth from the use of opulent velvet curtains, soft leather semi-circular banquettes and solid beech furniture, which contrasts stylishly against the original exposed brickwork.

The modern European tapas-style menu with a large selection of small plates, grills and side dishes are designed for sharing, think house-made reindeer bresaola with turnip carpaccio, black currant and gin dressing, or lemon pepper skewered baby chicken.

The Moose Dining Room offers a touch of formality with an international wine list specially selected to accompany the seasonal dishes, while the Reindeer Lounge takes cocktails to another level with its talented bar team, contemporary concoctions and comprehensive premium and super premium spirits list.
