Tequila makes you happy, and art feeds the soul. So when they're combined? Well, you have the recipe for a very decent afternoon indeed. 

If you’re gonna open a restaurant inside the National Gallery, then it has to look good. Luckily Ochre isn’t letting the side down when it comes to impressive aesthetics, and the new tequila cocktails inspired by Mexican artist José María Velasco are equally appealing. They aim to capture the emotion, colour, and sense of place in his iconic landscapes, sometimes quite literally - The Valley of Mexica is a stunning concoction of peach, orange blossom honey and reposado tequila, with an actual work of art displayed on the fancy foam. Sounds too good to drink until you take a sip and get swept away by the juicy, fruity decadence. Then there's The Forest of Pacho - a twist on everyone's favourite spicy Marg made with blanco tequila, elderflower, lime, cucumber, jalapeño and fennel flower. It's fresh, it's floral and it's got a lip-tingling finish. 

Ochre is bringing modern European cuisine to central London, with a few little twists to keep things interesting. Burrata might be served with orange and braised fennel, or pan-fried sea bass is pimped up with capers and pine nuts. Dishes use the finest seasonal produce and you’re in good hands if you care about sustainability. The dining room is chic, sleek, and has eye-catching works of art dotted on the walls. The honey-gold glow of lamps and warm, elegant colour palette make it ideal for a date - everyone looks good in this light, FYI - or book one of the long dining tables for a celebratory feast with friends.
