Dion - St Paul's

There's simply no substitute for flair and style as regulars to Dion will wholeheartedly agree. Located adjacent to St. Paul's Cathedral, running parallel with Wren's great masterpiece, this bar and restaurant has seating on three levels, basement, ground and al fresco but no matter where you choose to sit, the experience is the same, enjoyable and alleviating. The decor features a signature composition of chocolate browns juxtaposed with the bright orange retro wall paper and the famed Krug Room is perfect for an intimate and close gathering or for corporate entertainment.

Lunchtime specials such as sandwiches, wraps and salads are appealing with tasty fillings of chicken and avocado or smoked salmon and rare roast beef with onion and horseradish. Should you have something more elaborate in mind, do look out for the starters of crispy whitebait with tartare sauce followed by a main course of sirloin steak with grilled tomatoes, chips and blue cheese sauce, finally ending with banoffee pie. The drinks list at Dion is comprehensive, featuring champagnes, fine wines and spirits.
