Visually startling – a small, ornate Turkish building in the shadows of City steel and glass – the Bathhouse has been open as a bar since May 2009, but now its ‘through-the-looking-glass’ interior has been reworked to include a gourmet restaurant. The whole establishment is infused with Victorian-style opulence, and the menu is similarly inspired by British classics – mouthwatering items from the menu include confit of Middle White pork belly with veal marrow risotto and crackling; organic chicken and chorizo pizza; and Eton mess with summer berries and popping candy. People-watchers will be pleased to note that the clientele is equally ostentatious.
