Arabica Borough Market

Description

Borough Market is the spiritual home of Arabica. It's where the brand started out in its infancy, with James Walters taking to the streets selling mezze treats produced from a cool box. Stop by Rochester Walk now and you'll encounter a bustling 80-cover bar and restaurant matching its Levantine cuisine with a range of wines and cocktails.

This is a warm and welcoming hangout made for sharing honest fare in good company. You can expect to select between a healthy array of grilled meat, fish and veggie mezze here, with a dedicated bar area in place to offer a range of Eastern Mediterranean cocktails and an international wine list.

The decor is stripped back to its original brickwork, with a polished concrete floor and vintage furniture offering an alternative to the more classic ethnic restaurants. Arabica is an exciting restaurant and bar that perfectly illustrates what can be achieved for those who are willing to put in the hard yards.

  • A word from the chef:

    Tucked beneath a beloved Victorian railway arch, just a short stroll from London Bridge, our Borough Market home is where it all began. In the early noughties, we started as market traders, punting our wares from an 8ft trestle table. Today, we’re proud to serve up the sun-drenched flavours and boundless hospitality of the Eastern Mediterranean in the heart of London’s most iconic food market.
