Belvedere

Enjoy Italian dishes at Belvedere, a romantic Kensington restaurant in the middle of leafy Holland Park.

Originally part of stable and a coach house built in the 17th century, the building was transformed into a glamorous ballroom in the 19th century. Famous visitors included King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, before it was eventually converted into an elegant restaurant.

Today, Belvedere offers a taste of Southern Italy with a focus on seafood. Savour dishes such as grilled wild Scottish langoustine and wild seabass fillet with saffron sauce and asparagus, or try something from the raw section which includes oysters, prawns and more. There’s also a selection of thin-crusted pizzas cooked over flames in a wood-fired oven.
