Gilgamesh London (by Deanna Romano)

Gilgamesh was the son of the greatest King in biblical times, and is believed to have lived a heroic and adventurous life. To his tribute, the Gilgamesh restaurant encapsulates his greatness by creating a breathtaking visionary restaurant. The construction of the place alone appears to have been bigger than Ben Hur, as it hosts the worlds longest bar, which was hand carved in India, by an impressive 10,000 men! Needless to say, this venue is definitely worth the visit!

The food is Asian fusion, everything ranging from Dim Sum at lunch to a large selection of Sushi followed by a few Thai favourites. The prices are also varied, ranging from £8 for Scallop Sashimi, to £24.80 at the higher end of the scale for the Hoba Miso Chilean Seabass. Gilgamesh also caters for larger groups and offers the exclusive chef’s table for groups of 8-12 people, where you will be served a range of dishes from Grilled Wagyu with Spicy Ponzu and Truffles for £75 per head.

Gilgamesh also boasts a glass tea room which is lit with candles at night, in addition to a private bar, the Babylon Lounge Bar. Whilst the bar length is significantly smaller than its sister in the main restaurant, the sophistication in Babylon still continues. As where else can you sip your cocktail whilst dangling on a hanging sitting chair?

Gilgamesh’s grandeur is in keep with the biblical King’s reputation, therefore if you’re after a bit of magnificence you’ll really enjoy the Gilgamesh experience.

  1. What the hell is this doing in any guide that doesn’t start with the words, The 10 Top Worst… This place is awful, probably only beated my the Buddha Bar as the biggest rip off in London. On top of that anyone who really cares about the city could have nothing but contempt at a property developer from over seas buying up Camden so as to destroy its unqiue character with awfulness like this. Shame on you, directing visitors to this county to such tat.
