"Le Magritte is a real delight for the ego. It’s the kind of “drinks, old sport?” bar that soothes and seduces from the moment you pass through The Beaumont hotel’s gleaming chequerboard lobby and see a bartender in a white suit jacket, framed by a golden, art deco bar. There’s a short cocktail menu full of frothy, flirty numbers and strong, sophisticated little drinks, but the monied, ‘20s setting calls for a classic. Expect a cashmere-clad Mayfair crowd and the odd hotel guest who’s nursing their jet lag with a perfect Old Fashioned." - heidi lauth beasley
