Bellazul

In the heart of London's Marylebone, Bellazul stands out as a Mediterranean haven, lively as its name indicates.

Walk into Bellazul and let the Mediterranean warmth surround you. The restaurant's subtle lighting and charm reminds one of a seaside holiday, perfect for those eager to slip away from the city's rush. With tables set in crisp linens and a harmony of scents coming from the open kitchen, the scene is primed for a memory-making meal.

The menu showcases Mediterranean favourites, aimed to delight the palette and honour the area's rich tastes. Start with their range of handmade breads and crackers, an ideal introduction to the cacophony of flavours that await. A standout is the radicchio salad, mixing the bite of gorgonzola with pear's sweetness, topped off with a walnut crunch. For mains, the fillet steak exemplifies perfection, whereas the baked cod fillet with porcini mushrooms and clams suggests coastal luxury. And for an affair best enjoyed together, the paella de marisco isn't merely a dish but a show, brimming with the ocean's bounty.

To round off the Bellazul experience, their sommelier can expertly match your meal with a wine that captures the essence of sun-filled vineyards, or choose a revitalising cocktail made with the same enthusiasm and flair as their food offerings. At Bellazul, each sip and morsel extends an invite to cherish the moment even longer.
