As lockdown eases and people begin to dine and drink out again, Amazónico introduces a brand new addition to Mayfair.
10 Berkeley Square is home to the expansive Amazónico restaurant, which was sadly forced to close due to Covid-19 less than four months after launching. Hailed as one of London’s hottest new openings, the vast 200 cover restaurant regularly had over a thousand people on the waiting list for weekend tables.
Known for its impressive open kitchen, nightly live jazz, energetic DJ sets and dazzling atmosphere, Amazónico London gained overnight fame. There is, however, something that the queues of guests in Mayfair didn’t know. Amazónico was keeping a very chic secret.
Designed by internationally renowned artist Lázaro Rosa-Violan, the space instant transports you beneath the water. Blue stucco walls blend into the ceiling using curves, where the cenotes stand out with light to illuminate the room. The floor is a continuous carpet, emphasising the mysterious shadows light creates on water. Columns are covered with sequins and textured glass to emphasise water dropping down. The front of the bar is made with handmade pieces of resin to create a seashell wall. Lighting comes only from the cenotes and from the main feature, the opulent golden octopus, hanging on top of the DJ booth.
Post lockdown, Amazónico will open it to the general public and it could be, quite possibly, the capital’s only new opening this summer. However, there are rumours that this could be for a limited time only.
