Bluebird Brasserie
About Bluebird Brasserie
In typical Conran style, 1997 saw Terence Conran convert the famous Bluebird Garage. It now houses two restaurants, private dining rooms, and a café with a courtyard. It’s the two restaurants and private dining rooms that we are raving about today. The Brasserie is bright and airy and its steel girder and glass roof, crustacea altar and large windows overlooking the fashionable King’s Road below make it an incredible place to have a meal. With the menu itself, the focus is on the provenance and seasonality of ingredients to create dishes representing British dining at its finest and most elegant. Produce used is from small British farms, ensuring that only the best ingredients make it onto your plate. Dishes include seared foie gras with pan-fried apples and calvados, roast rabbit with prosciutto, whole roasted sea-bass; as well as heavenly desserts.The Bluebird was chosen as one of the best restaurants in London for Sunday Lunch in the Observer Food Monthly’s 2006 Food Awards.
