Silk

Once upon a time the infamous No. 1 Courtroom where the great (Napoleon III, Oscar Wilde) and not so good pleaded their case, Silk is today a luxurious fine dining restaurant, and one of three dining areas in the five-star Courthouse Hotel Kempinski opposite Liberty's on Great Marlborough Street.

Such a rich history means Silk has an uniquely enchanting atmosphere between its magnificent wall to wall oak panels. Most noteworthy of all is the original legal furniture, including the judges' bench, a witness stand and jury benches. Such formal seating demands seriously good food; jellied oysters and caviar, or braised loin of veal with roast root vegetables. Foodies in search of a genuinely exciting new experience will be thrilled by Silk.
