The Anthologist is an all day bar and restaurant at 58 Gresham Street near Bank station. Its airy room combines a large curved bar, long tables, industrial details and several flexible dining areas, with outdoor seating for warmer days. The venue moves from breakfast meetings and client lunches into dinner and lively drinks on Thursday and Friday evenings.
Breakfast and brunch range from pastries, fruit and lighter bowls to eggs and more substantial cooked plates. Coffee, tea, fresh juice and smoothies make the early menu suitable for a quick meeting as well as a longer start to the day. Selected weekend events bring music and a more celebratory brunch atmosphere to a venue usually shaped by the working week.
Seasonal all day menus combine sharing dishes with modern British and European cooking. Mezze, salads and plant focused plates sit beside fish and chips, grilled salmon, chicken, burgers and steaks from British beef. The changing selection gives groups a choice between a few small dishes, a quick lunch and a complete main course with sides.
Cocktails are a defining part of the experience, ranging from familiar spritzes and classics to fruit, herb and spice combinations created for the season. Wine, craft beer and carefully made alcohol free drinks extend the bar selection. A private dining room, chef’s table and mixology classes allow The Anthologist to host client dinners, team events and celebrations within the same central City space.
