A contemporary and decadent Mediterranean restaurant 'inspired by the opulent Bacchanalian feasts of the ancient world'

The latest (and most spectacular) addition to Richard Caring's Caprice Holdings empire is housed in the former Porsche showroom in the heart of Mayfair. Set within stunning interiors by Martin Brudnizki which includes 'Sistine Chapel-style frescoes on the ceiling' and four enormous Damien Hirst sculptures, including one of 'winged lovers embracing on a unicorn'. Bacchanalia also has an exclusive, members-only area, as well as a an al fresco terrace, private dining room and a separate bar - called 'The Midas Bar' - made entirely of rock crystal.

The menu promises to be broadly Greek and Italian, with a focus - as is often the case in Caring restaurants - on lux ingredients and theatrical elements. A sample menu suggests that there's to be plenty of fish and seafood, followed by dishes like Risotto Nero for three and Turbot for two to share.
