Four London Restaurants To Take Your PPL Bags To

Love is in the air. It is undeniably the perfect time to treat yourself or your most beloved, especially when it feels so gloomy outside. Here is a guide to some of our favourite spots to dine in London, covering both the fancier and more relaxed corners of the city. We think they’re perfect for dressing up in your best outfit, heading out and indulging the senses for an evening (and forgetting all about this week's to-do list at work). If you’re not based in or around London, then use this as inspiration for any future trips to the city. You heard us: full permission granted to go and have some fun!

Sessions Arts Club

Based in Grade 2 listed building Sessions House in Clerkenwell, this one is the perfect place to impress your date. Known for its spectacular, romantic interior with lots of candles, three fireplaces, a discreet entrance that makes you feel like you’re part of a secret club and will lead you into the most magical atmosphere. At Sessions Arts Club you will find strikingly arty and romantic decor with a menu that offers modern European food in primarily small plates. This is a place that can be both casual and formal, but we think it would be a crying shame to visit a restaurant this beautiful without having some fun with your styling! The Kensington bag in Black paired with the Marble Link Chain would provide you with the perfect balance of classy and colourful for this one.

Little Duck, The Picklery

Looking for something special but prefer a more intimate space? How about a wine bar that doubles as a tiny restaurant, giving you the most romantic and cosy night. At Little Duck you can sit at the ‘kitchen counter’ and watch the chefs up close. Located in Dalston, East London, this one is known to win people’s heart in their first visit, many calling it their favourite restaurant they visited in the past year. It has a  modern European menu, understated decor, and seasonal food. Here they have mastered creating a unique atmosphere, which we think deserves nothing less than a show-stopping outfit, with a bag to match: the Suede & Leather Original. We recommend the matching leather strap or Large Link Gold Chain.

Milk Beach

This is what dreams are made of.. the girls are guaranteed to approve of this one. Heavenly interiors, many shades of neutrals and full of natural light wood. Situated in both Queens Park and Soho, Milk Beach is often described as a little slice of Sydney and both sites have different menus! Imagine: Australian with Southeast Asian influence, so very light and airy.. perfect if you feel like you’re missing the beach or summer weather. With charming and welcoming staff, menus with an Asian influence, minimalist decor and zen atmosphere, what’s not to love? We highly recommend the Stone City Mini for a sophisticated but understated look.

Sucre

If you’re after a night that won’t disappoint, Sucre is definitely worth noting. Describing itself as ‘fire dining’; meaning food cooked over open fire.. This one’s definitely one for the foodies. Based in Soho, Sucre is often rated one of the most beautiful restaurants in London, with food featuring Argentinian and Mediterranean influences and the most gorgeous, colourful and traditional decor. With an open kitchen in the centre and a cocktail bar downstairs with live music on, you are guaranteed to have a delightful time here. It’s nothing short of decadent, so it deserves a bag that can make you feel the same. With the Cerise Pink Original slung over your shoulder, you’ll be ready to go.

That’s a wrap! Wherever you are, we hope that this Valentine’s Day you let your hair down and take an evening to indulge yourself, spend time with loved ones and dress up. Still looking for the perfect bag? Shop our collections now to find ‘the one’.
