An Italian restaurant might not be the first place you think of when planning a Christmas meal, but this hearty cuisine is about more than sunshine and holidays. Bringing together family and friends over good food is what Christmas meals are all about, and when it comes to finding somewhere special to do it, Sale e Pepe is an iconic Knightsbridge spot with 50 years of history and experience in serving everyone from royalty to locals.
Since 1974, this establishment has stood just around the corner from Harrods, boasting one of the capital's best locations. Inside, its light, bright feel, contemporary-classic decor and white table cloths create an ambience of sophistication and comfort. Put simply, it's a much-loved neighbourhood haunt, where you can feel at home.
If for Christmas you'd like to book a special table, give the team a call to reserve space for up to 10 people, or email the restaurant for a party larger than that so they can chat through your options. Usually, for group dining bookings there is a set menu and while this may change seasonally (especially for the festive period), there is an example of what to expect online.
With a few different price brackets, you can choose between a plethora of options for two and three course meals. Examples of the kinds of dishes you might enjoy include fried squid with tartare sauce to start, whole grilled baby chicken with rosemary or spinach and ricotta ravioli with tomato and basil for mains, and homemade tiramisu for dessert.
Another idea, would be to talk to the restaurant's talented pastry chef about creating a unique dessert for your group. Sale e Pepe has a range of cake recipes available to freshly bake, and they can even add a personal message to the top for you.
