Russia’s most famous and successful restaurateur Arkady Novikov has made his first international splash on Mayfair’s Berkeley Street and the effect is fantastic. His eponymous dining concept comprises of a stylish bar, a pan Asian and an Italian Restaurant. Each space has its own design identity: the bar utilizes cool granite, ebony and jade to create a space to drink that is awash in opulence; the Asian Restaurant serves aromatic duck and seafood from an open kitchen amongst a dining room created with natural materials such as cracked stone and bamboo, while the Italian Trattoria features a massive wood-fired oven along with handmade tiles, suede wall paneling and dramatic chandeliers.
Having stamped his mark on Moscow & beyond, Russian restaurant guru Arkady Novikov has staked a claim in London with the launch of two gastronomically distinct eateries under one roof on swish Berkeley Street (directly opposite paparazzi hangout Nobu). On-the-ball staff with bags of character make a big contribution in the Asian-themed restaurant, which delivers tip-top renditions of well-tried, big-city dishes: think lobster tempura, fine dim sum, ‘great black cod’, chicken yakitori, spanking fresh sashimi & some surprisingly good puddings. Otherwise, make a detour to the Italian Room, which is headed up by chef Stefano Secca (formerly at Rosmarino & the short-lived Osteria Secca): to eat, expect the likes of risotto with clams, fennel, lemon zest & parsley, as well as wood-roasted, 21-day-aged T-bone steak with globe artichoke & roast potato. Novikov’s standalone lounge bar adds further possibilities – although ‘breathtakingly rude’ service ruined it for one early visitor.
