A new Provençal restaurant is scheduled to open next week in Belgravia’s grand neo-classical Pantechnicon building, which is being relaunched following a reshuffle of its line-up by the Dubai-based Sunset Hospitality Group.
Sachi, the Japanese restaurant formerly located on the lower ground floor, has moved upstairs to the second floor with a bar on the rooftop terrace, while a new Latin-American-inspired cocktail bar, Luum, takes Sachi’s old spot.
Amélie, the Provençal restaurant, occupies the ground floor and mezzanine, and also has a covered outdoor terrace. The kitchen is run by head chef Steve Raveneau, previously of the Arts Club in Mayfair, and there’s a walk-in wine room with 2,000 bottles.
Sachi offers an upmarket menu of traditional and regional Japanese dishes, backed up by an expansive bar menu of Japanese whiskies, sakes, and cocktails, plus DJ sets on the terrace.
Luum downstairs is run by mixologist Stefano Chila, formerly of Chiltern Firehouse, and features an in-house lab distilling its own spirits using advanced evaporation equipment, along with a cellar for ageing spirits.
