DRINK, DINE & DANCE

Cafe Cecilia – @cafececilia

Not as much a café as it is a lunchtime delight; head over to Cafe Cecilia for some Frieze fuel – we recommend ordering the hake and the agnolotti. 

Greenberry Cafe – @greenberrycafe

Add a stop at Primrose Hill’s favorite café for the best brunch in town! 

Little Duck The Picklery – @littleduckthepicklery

While the whole menu is a delight, don’t miss the bread or the beetroots at this cute little fermenting kitchen and wine bar in Dalston. 

River Cafe – @rivercafe

An institution all year round but a particular fave for this week, River Cafe wears the Tuscan charm like no other and it is the only white-table cloth you’ll need for a pre or post-fair lunch.

Red Room at The Connaught – @theconnaught 

Who doesn’t love red wine, Negronis and female art?  We suggest you head over to the brand new Red Room bar in the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair. This cozy space features a pink onyx bar with delicious drinks and amazing artworks by four of our fave female visionaries: Louise Bourgeois, Jenny Holzer, Ti-a Thuy Nguygen and Trina McKillen.

Sessions Arts Club – @sessionsartsclub

The sexiest and most indulgent restaurant in London at the moment – this old judges’ dining room at Sessions House is the only place where you want to end your art day. Florence Wright’s hotel menu is wonderful, but the sea bream and crab croquettes were our highlight.

Hector’s – @hectorslondon

This new wine bar is the coziest spot in East London to relax after a day at the fair. There are no reservations, so you may need to wait, but trust us – the natural whites and jamon ibérico are worth it.

Louie – @louielondon_restaurant

Named after both King Louis XIV and Louis Armstrong, this hot spot has not only the best drinks in Covent Garden but also the loveliest bar to continue the Frieze festivities into the depths of the night. Slurp down some oysters and you’ll feel as fresh as ever to keep up the Frieze stamina. 

Zephyr – @zephyrnottinghill

Our new favorite Middle Eastern hot spot in the heart of Notting Hill. Don’t miss the Mushroom Orzo Pasta. 

Bubala Soho – @bubala_london

If you’re looking for a Middle Eastern kick, Bubala’s new Soho location is easily accessible and the perfect spot for a relaxed, post-fair refuel. 

Rita’s Dining – @ritasdining

No doubt you’ve crushed your step goal during Frieze week, but spare a few more to head to Rita’s in Soho. Order the chicken parmigiana and don’t forget to try their selection of craft beers.
