Mayfair’s Annabel’s opens South American restaurant

Celebrating ‘the rich tapestry of flavours and traditions from the region’, Bolívar is focused on steaks with options including cowboy steak; wagyu flat iron; and Brazilian sirloin. 

Other dishes include whole charred cauliflower Al Pastor; beef tartare with adobo peppers and tlayuda; and smoked chipotle bearnez and caviar oysters.

The new wine list is big on wines from the region while the spirits and cocktail programme is focused on agave-based drinks with options including the Bolivar Margarita; the Batida Tropical; and El Libertador. 

On the second floor of the 26,000 sq ft Berkeley Square club, the space ‘boasts a revamped bohemian aesthetic crafted to immerse members and guests in an enriching dining experience’ with design details including an original 18th Century Antique stone fireplace; bold fiery colours; wooden furniture; and woven jute accents.

Part of Richard Caring’s The Birley Clubs group, Annabel’s was founded in 1963 but moved to a Grade-I listed Georgian mansion house at 46 Berkeley Square in 2018. 

Its sister venues include George, Mark’s Club and Harry’s Bar.
