The views alone are worth the visit to 5th View – the surprising hidden gem of a restaurant on the fifth floor of Piccadilly’s branch of Waterstones. Sweeping across London towards Big Ben, it’s an outlook which any restaurateur would give sell his soul for. But rather than rest purely on their windows, 5th View have created an indulgent Champagne bar with a decadent feel and excellent food. Sumptuous and comfortable with a gentlemen’s-club-meets-boudoir-meets-country-mansion look, 5th View combines tactile furnishings with classic design and a buzzing atmosphere. A mouth-watering menu brings together the very best seafood out there, including native oysters, Devon crab and Scottish salmon, all of which are beautifully accompanied by a fine Champagne menu.
