What A Driver Sees | The Best Spots for Enjoying the Sunshine in London Hotels ☀️
Episode 7 | The Garden Terrace
The Hari, Belgravia
Hidden away inside The Hari, The Garden Terrace is a lovely little sun-trap in Belgravia. It is not about big skyline views or a loud rooftop atmosphere. This one is more intimate, and ideal when you want the sunshine somewhere calm, pretty and tucked away.
The Setting
The terrace has living ivy walls, flowers, heaters and a retractable roof, so it feels like a proper all-weather London escape. On warm days it opens up beautifully, but it still has that cosy hotel feeling if the weather changes. Think elegant aperitivos, long lunches and cocktails under the sun or stars.
What to Order
The food is easy, social and good for sharing. Expect cicchetti and hotel classics, including Tiger Prawns, Straciatella Crostini, Calamari, The Hari Club, Montanara Pizza and Truffle Fries to name just a few. There are also desserts including Caprese Al Limone and Tiramisu.
For drinks, this huge menu draws on defining modern art movements, from the
honesty of Realism to the boldness of Pop Art, each cocktail translating
artistic expression into flavour, aroma, texture, and presentation. For example, the Expressionist (from 'The Scream' painting), is a selection of whiskeys with apricot and chocolate to represent the bold colours and distorted forms. Most of the cocktails have a zero version, too and they also have their own 'Haritini' Collection. Aperitivo Hour runs weekdays from 5pm to 7pm - order a cocktail and enjoy a complimentary Cicchetti plate, which makes it a fabulous golden hour choice.
Who It’s Good For
Quiet catch-ups, casual dates, pre-dinner drinks, small birthdays, Belgravia lunches or anyone who wants somewhere outside without feeling too exposed. It is also a good one when you want the feeling of a private members’ terrace without the fuss.
Good to Know
Food is listed as available from 12pm, with orders until 10pm, but the bar is open all day until late.
For a pretty hidden terrace, relaxed service and a peaceful pocket of Belgravia sunshine, The Hari is a very elegant summer pick.
