THE SCENE<br />
Blackfriars offers a deliciously<br />
artistic setting minutes from<br />
downtown London. The central<br />
location and ample parking make<br />
this the perfect meeting place<br />
for a culinary adventure. Upbeat,<br />
knowledgeable staff are your first<br />
introduction to Blackfriars. A large blackboard covers one wall, featuring<br />
daily creations by Blackfriars’ talented chefs. There you’ll also find an everchanging<br />
beverage list; Blackfriars has been a leader in providing diners with<br />
well-chosen craft beer and consignment wines to enhance a full bar selection,<br />
including signature cocktails. The bistro’s intimate size and style allow for<br />
perfect closed room parties. Don’t let<br />
size fool you! Blackfriars has a strong<br />
reputation as London’s premier caterer.<br />
