The Radio rooftop bar at five-star luxury lifestyle hotel ME London offers spectacular views of London’s skyline and right now they’ve partnered with perhaps the most famous Rosé in the world, Whispering Angel
Whispering Angel is a dry rosé from Provence, made from Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino) grapes. It really is streets ahead of other roses and what you’ll find in the fridges of the best yachts in summer and up in the Alps in ski season.
Unlike most rosés it’s very dry, so partners well with Radio’s Asian-inspired sharing menu from Executive Chef Federico Crisafulli. Formerly Executive Chef of the Italian Embassy in Tokyo and before that, Head Chef at Intercontinental Yokohama in Japan, and Michelin-starred Grand Hotel in Rome.
We sat down to enjoy the amazing view and sample the Xmas menu with plenty of Whispering Angel on tap.
The Nigiri selection of Salmon, wakami, and sea bass were all swimmingly fresh and the wine a perfect match
Grilled asparagus & avocado dragon rolls went down well as did Chicken yakitori with sesame and teriyaki sauce, and enormous Tiger prawn tempura with a sweet chilli sauce.
We loved the bouncy fluffy Wafu crispy duck bao with cucumber and spring onion, as well as super cripsy asparagus tempura with yuzu and a shichimi hollandaise. The only thing we weren’t too keen on was the Aubergine with ginger miso, it was just a bit too sweet.
Talking of sweet, the Mochi Mango and passion fruit, coconut, salted caramel, pistachio were superb, the bouncy skin releasing a delicious interior.
And Radio also has a delicious interior with back-lit onyx cocktail bar, a theatre cocktail bar and that rooftop terrace offering perhaps the best views in London.
An all-day menu offers snacks, sushi, seared and raw dishes, tempura style plates and a selection of Asian-inspired small plates .
A set lunch, pre-theatre and pre-booked Brunch menu are also available and a line-up of international DJs and music artists play every evening and into the night.
