Restaurants

Darbucka bar in Clerkenwell has a fabulous concept. They serve fresh Lebanese cuisine on 2 levels. The upstairs restaurant features a mix of high and low tables, perfect for sampling the menu. Downstairs in the World Music Bar, the lighting becomes shadowy, the culture aural, with live world music that will pull you up out of your soft, low seating and get you dancing – or even belly-dancing. Down here, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve wandered into a luxurious Bedouin tent: the walls are lined with red fabrics, colourful drapes shimmer in the glow of the lamps, completing the Eastern feel. If you’re feeling elegantly exotically Eastern, make sure you reserve your place at Darbucka.
