Chiswell Street Dining Rooms is an elegant restaurant and bar at 56 Chiswell Street, close to the Barbican and Moorgate. Housed in the historic former Whitbread Brewery building, it provides a polished setting for breakfast, a business lunch, dinner before a performance, cocktails or a private gathering in the City.
Seasonal starters balance British produce with wider European influences. Heritage tomato and feta tart, spiced king prawns, roast beef carpaccio, courgette tempura, burrata and a charcuterie board might appear alongside simple table snacks such as olives, almonds and focaccia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Main courses move between fish, meat and plant based cooking. Shellfish linguine, seabass with fennel and salsa verde, salmon with tenderstem broccoli, grilled poussin, chicken schnitzel and steak with green peppercorn sauce provide substantial choices, while risotto and carefully prepared vegetables give meat free diners equal scope.
A weekly changing set menu offers a concise option for lunch or an early dinner, while the bar serves cocktails, wine, beer and smaller plates throughout the day. British cheese, sticky toffee pudding, lemon posset and ice cream complete the meal, and several private rooms allow the restaurant to accommodate celebrations and business events.
