"Quaglino’s has a truly inspiring history of getting Very Important People pissed. It’s featured heavily in Absolutely Fabulous, author Barbara Cartland once found a real pearl in an oyster served here in the 1930s, and everyone’s favourite royal nan, Queen Lizzie, popped by for a buzzing dinner in 1956 and made history as the first reigning British monarch to eat at a public restaurant. These days it’s still host to a live band, slick cocktails, and lots of outfits you definitely can’t put anywhere near a washing machine without some higher power screaming ‘DRY CLEANING ONLY’. It’s perfect for a night of lobster dishes and Sinatra singalongs with friends, but it’ll also work for a romantic late-night drink after a particularly schmoozy date." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
