Rather than a traditional theatre show, this is an immersive cabaret and dining voyage. On the entertainment side, there are three hours of eye-popping 19th-century cabaret, backed by a salon orchestra and featuring everything from magic and mime to comedy, music and dancing. An overall story involves proprietor Rodolphe Salis creating a daring new revue by summoning the four greatest entertainers of the age.
That is paired with a vintage three-course dining experience of haute-cuisine classics, crafted by star chef Ashley Clarke. The menu includes pâté en croûte, coq au vin, escargots au beurre à l’ail, and tarte au citron. There are also Belle Époque cocktails, champagne, and absinthe fountains.
This playground for aristocrats and bohemians alike is the latest venture by immersive dining specialists The Lost Estate, premiering at a specially configured West Kensington venue. Visit the legendary place that birthed a cultural revolution.
