Dante takes Claridge's

12 May 2025

From Manhattan to Mayfair

This summer, New York’s award-winning restaurant and aperitivo cocktail bar, Dante, will collaborate with Claridge’s Restaurant for a month-long residency from Monday 30 June. Bringing the vibrant spirit of downtown Manhattan to the heart of Mayfair, Dante will serve its signature cocktails and nostalgic New York-inspired menu, alongside a delicious weekend brunch, delivered in true Claridge’s style. Founded over a century ago as an Italian café in Greenwich Village, Dante embodies the very essence of New York dining with impeccable cocktails and old-school hospitality, having earned the title of World's Best Bar at 50 Best Bars in 2019.

Taking centre stage in Claridge’s Restaurant and hotfooting from The Big Apple, will be Linden Pride and Nathalie Hudson, the husband-and-wife duo behind Dante. They will be bringing their legendary theatrical flair to Mayfair and introducing ‘Aperitivo Hour’ daily in bar.

Their cocktail menu will include signatures drinks, such as The Garibaldi with Campari and Dante’s famous "fluffy" orange juice, the Dante Martini, Negroni Bianco, and even the Chocolate Negroni ‘fountain’, created with Botanist gin, Campari, Punt e Mes, crème de cacao and chocolate bitters.

The restaurant menu will pay homage to time-honoured American favourites. Offering the ultimate apertivi, notable dishes include Dante X Claridge’s Sliders, Seafood towers with oysters, crab, scallop and shrimp, the must order Shrimp cocktail, and the New York strip on the bone with chimichurri, Dante’s signature burger featuring smoked bacon, pickled beets, new school American cheese, tomato, spicy mayo, and lettuce, and served in a brioche bun.

A New York-style brunch will be served on weekends throughout the month, from stacks of Buttermilk pancakes and bacon, Banana bread with ricotta and honey, Huevos rancheros, corn tortilla, salsa verde, bacon, avocado and fried eggs.

We are so looking forward to welcoming longstanding friends from Dante NYC to Claridge’s Restaurant. We know London will enjoy a touch of the glamour of New York’s cocktail and dining scene with the same warm hospitality that we hold dear.

Simon Attridge, Culinary Director at Claridge's
