Dante at Claridge's

Dante Mayfair What an amazing way to celebrate our 34th Wedding Anniversary with a fantastic afternoon at Dante Mayfair. Dante has been here at Claridges Hotel for months as a pop up and has been so successful that it is now a permanent fixture. We always love visiting Claridges having stayed here many times so it seemed the ideal setting to celebrate our anniversary. All I can say now is that we were both delighted that we did. We entered the hotel and made our way to the restaurant where we were given a fabulous friendly welcome before being escorted to our table. Here we were greeted by manager Elizabeth who it was great to see again and she described the changes to the restaurant and how the ethos of Dante works. We started with a fabulous cocktail where my wife enjoyed the Dante Hugo Spritz while I had one of the best cocktails ever in the form of a Pina Colada Spritz. We enjoyed these while looking at the menu. The menu starts with a selection of dishes to share followed by Starters and Salads , Pasta , From the Fire . Mains , Sides and a separate Dessert menu. We started with the Mare Misto followed by the Sugar Snap Pea and Halloumi Salad along with the Prosciutto with Mozzarella. We then shared the Fazzoletti pasta before our main courses of BBQ Mackerel and the Halibut on the Bone. To finish we enjoyed these amazing desserts which started with a surprise as we were complimentary presented with the Zabaglione along with a cocktail with our picture from our holiday in Greece on the top. This then led to my wife enjoying an amazing Carrot Cake while I had the incredible Sticky Toffee Donut. We finished with a tea to round of a truly fantastic afternoon. It was amazing to see Elizabeth again and along with her team made an anniversary feel very special. I would highly recommend a visit to Dante because the food is amazing , the cocktails are delicious , the staff are super friendly and there is a great atmosphere. The menu a such an extensive choice that it is absolutely ideal for just popping in or enjoying a nice long relaxing dining experience. Thank You Dante and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
