Lessandro

Tucked away in the exclusive area of Kensington lies the romantic Italian gem, Lessandro. This stunning restaurant instantly relaxes the senses, using sunny yellows and creams accented by dark woods to give the feel of relaxing in the Mediterranean sunshine, and in the summer customers can dine alfresco in their beautiful secluded garden.

The Mediterranean menu features a heavy Italian accent, with starters like beef carpaccio, with parmesan shavings and garlic sautéed shimeji mushrooms. Fresh pastas and robust mains are simply delicious, try monkfish with grilled polenta and porcini mushroom sauce or braised lamb with mashed new potatoes and Barolo sauce.

Desserts should satisfy any sweet tooth, try flambéed red berries crepes served with ice cream among many others.
