Somerset House rebrands restaurants
The two restaurants at Somerset House in London will be rebranded prior to their relaunch this year, following the introduction of Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens at the venue.
The River Terrace Café has been completely redesigned and will be renamed as Tom's Terrace, while the Admiralty Restaurant will become Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House.
Tom's Terrace will offer informal, relaxed, al fresco-style dining with the menu offering dishes such as a tasting board, grilled paillard of chicken and smoked Loch Duart salmon.
Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House will be a more formal concept and will be the second Tom's Kitchen venue in London. The first one, on Cale Street in Chelsea, opened in April 2003 and secured its first Michelin star the following year.
Jerome Ibanez Somerset House's general manager, said: "We've been looking to re-fresh our restaurants at Somerset House for some time.
"With Tom we have found a partner who can deliver this re-fresh with style."
The two restaurants will open on 29 April.
Somerset House, a former government building which dates back to 1780s, hosts open-air concerts and films, contemporary art and design exhibitions, family workshops and free guided tours.
