Busaba - Restaurants

Whether you're heading out for an intimate birthday dinner or casual catch-up with old friends, Busaba's Thai restaurants are simply perfect. You'll find these eateries all across London, from Stratford and Kingston to Covent Garden and Soho, offering mouthwatering Thai food.

Choose from a menu that features all of your classic Thai dishes, like pad Thai, green curry, pandan chicken and more, or if you're a group of 8 or more? You can instead opt for one of the special group dining menus, where the dishes from your chosen set menu will arrive in the middle of the table to share.

You can decide between the Bangkok Feast (£38pp), the vegetarian Bangkok Jay (£38pp) or the larger Bangkok Banquet option (£55), each of which includes a variety of snacks, small plates, mains, sides and desserts.

Iberica - Restaurants

For an intimate meal out with a small group, which is both affordable and impressive, look no further than Iberica's gorgeous restaurants across London. Think tasty Spanish tapas to share between the table, alongside plenty of wine and sangria to wet your appetites.

Quaglino's

Looking for an intimate atmosphere, but space for privacy? Head to Quaglino's - one of London's most historic restaurants. Frequented by royalty and A-listers alike, this place knows a thing or two about discretion. Reserve yourself one of their plush booths to spend the night dining like kings and queens with top-notch live entertainment to match. 

The Patio London

Located in Farringdon, The Patio is a fabulous shout for intimate dinner parties and birthday celebrations. Tuck into West African cuisine such as braised lamb shoulder and fried plantains, alongside signature cocktails.
