Every summer London comes alive with a host of warm weather-ready entertainment options. While everyone loves a pretty picnic, there’s nothing quite so wonderful as enjoying a relaxed al fresco meal while sipping on a refreshing spritz. And few understand this better than Harvey Nichols.

Best known as the go-to destination for some of the finest international luxury brands, the ritzy Knightsbridge store has also made a splash on London’s culinary scene with its wide variety of restaurants and bars. And this summer, the expert chefs at Harvey Nichols have curated seasonal menus catering to every taste and occasion.

So whether you’re planning a memorable get-together with friends and family or looking for an impressive date night spot, here are the Harvey Nichols summer dining delights you won’t want to miss out on.

Summer Set Menu

Perfectly primed for sun-drenched days, Harvey Nichols’ summer set menu features vibrant dishes made from locally sourced fresh produce, each paired with a summery Fever-Tree x Mirabeau Rosé Spritz, and priced at £35 per person.

Dine al fresco at the Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor Terrace, where stunning views of the Knightsbridge neighbourhood accompany a delicious menu. Highlights include starters of grilled octopus served with potato and parsley salad, and a Thai watermelon salad followed by scrumptious mains including seabass and coconut curry, and hearty cornfed chicken. Finally, dive into a bevy of exquisite dessert – from a tangy lemon and blueberry meringue tart to a decadent strawberry chocolate mousse cake.

For impressive panoramas over London, head to Harvey Nichols’ outpost at the iconic OXO Tower Restaurant, where excellent modern cuisine is served with stunning views of St Pauls and the river below. Also offering a three-course set menu price at £45 per person, start with an effervescent rosé spritz before diving into the refined menu. Will it be a pea and coconut gazpacho followed by red mullet with summer minestrone, and a cherry milk chocolate mille feuille? Or perhaps a peach truffle burrata followed by pork with cockles and chard, and a nectarine tart with Chantilly cream? Whatever you pick, we promise you’re in for a treat.

Elsewhere OXO Tower Brasserie serves small plates perfect for casual catch-ups. Its four-course summer set menu is priced at £39 per person and begins with snacks of marinated olives and smoked almonds served alongside a Mirabeau Rosé spritz. Indulgent starters such as creamy burrata with heritage tomato and pomegranate, and grilled mackerel with elderflower and horseradish set the tone for mains such as cod with chorizo in blankets and bisque, spinach ricotta ravioli, and roasted cauliflower with white bean hummus and tabbouleh. An array of desserts includes creme fraiche cheesecake, white chocolate cremeux topped with strawberries, and a selection of ice creams.
