Always a prime London address for both business and leisure, One Aldwych in Covent Garden, where Waterloo Bridge meets the Strand, now offers even more enticing reasons to visit. At Indigo, Chef Dominic Teague has developed a menu that includes thoughtful gluten- and dairy-free options alongside classic dishes. Highlights include in-house baked samphire bread, a silky Amedei chocolate mousse, and a vibrant salad of quinoa, Jerusalem artichoke, pomegranate and smoked almonds. The kitchen also showcases fresh fish delivered daily, foraged wild herbs and leaves sourced from the Mountain Food Company, and organic lamb from Wales’ Rhug Estate.
The hotel’s latest dining addition arrives through a partnership with Michelin-starred Chef Eneko Atxa: a relaxed Basque-inspired restaurant and bar. Chef Atxa’s Azurmendi Bilbao ranks among the world’s top restaurants, and his Bistró Prêt À Porter has been honoured with a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The London outpost will present authentic, rustic Basque dishes that draw on the flavours and techniques found at Azurmendi, offering a casual but carefully crafted menu.
For a seasonal treat, the Lobby Bar at One Aldwych is serving a curated selection of Winter Wonderland cocktails through January 31. One signature drink, the Almond Warmer, blends Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon with Amaretto, Antica Formula, Angostura bitters, pomegranate syrup, sugar syrup and fresh lemon juice, finished with hot water and presented in a brandy glass. The cocktail collection provides a cozy, stylish option for guests and visitors seeking warming drinks in the heart of London.
Between Indigo’s inventive, allergy-aware dishes, the arrival of a Basque-focused restaurant by a celebrated chef, and the Lobby Bar’s seasonal cocktail menu, One Aldwych reinforces its reputation as a destination for memorable dining and relaxed luxury in central London.
