The Optimist

The Optimist is Pirata’s chic three-storey Northern Spanish bar and restaurant that promises to transport you to early 20th-century southern Europe. The ground floor’s greenery, dim lights and plush sofas make the perfect ambiance for intimate drinks, while the large menu of sharing plates and mains will keep you fed as you chatter the night away. For cocktails, try the Black Forest for a Spanish spin on the G&T.

Tatler Tip

Book ahead to get the spacious ground floor sofa tables by the window—the best seats in the house.
