Sucre Restaurant

Sucre brings the art of flame grilling to London in a buzzy contemporary restaurant. Opened by chef Fernando Trocca, this is elevated dining with a Latin American influence. This restaurant is an offshoot of the original Sucre, opened in 2001 in Buenos Aires and rapidly becoming a culinary icon. For a memorable meal in a smart and contemporary setting, this restaurant is a top pick. You can also pop in just for drinks at the Alma bar.

The interior is modern but opulent, with elaborate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, offset by relaxed furniture and mirrored walls. It's the backdrop for a vibrant menu that draws influence from a range of cuisines but is South American at heart. The menu is continually changing but always uses quality seasonal ingredients cooked with the right techniques. Food is grilled over charcoal in the traditional Argentinian way.

There are two menus to choose from at Sucre. As well as à la carte options there's a more concise choice for lunch and pre-theatre. You can go for either two or three courses. Whatever you opt for, you'll discover vibrant small and large plates like a Spanish tortilla with nduja, sea bass ceviche, and grilled trout.

Aperitifs like sangria are available and there are seasonal cocktails like a plum and lychee gimlet. Wine is served by the glass and there are bottles from Argentina, Spain, France, and Italy. Whether you want a speedy meal or a long feast of small plates, Sucre is a destination with quality food full of heritage.
