Cafe Ciel

Description

Nestled in The OWO Courtyard, Café Ciel is a cocktail bar and restaurant that brings together refined charm, a playful attitude, and a love for ingredient-led dining.

By day, Café Ciel is home to one of central London’s most stylish brunch services — featuring vibrant, seasonal dishes made with the freshest ingredients. Whether you're meeting friends for a long, lazy brunch or enjoying a quiet solo bite, our food celebrates simplicity, quality, and creativity.

As the evening approaches, the venue shifts into a buzzing cocktail destination. From signature serves to bold classics, our drinks list pairs beautifully with our elegant small plates, best enjoyed with live music performances every Saturday night — adding rhythm and soul to your experience.

When the sun’s out, the courtyard terrace becomes the place to be (weather dependent), offering al fresco dining and drinks in one of London’s most historic settings.

Throughout the year, Café Ciel plays host to a calendar of unique activations, from intimate tastings and live DJs to festive celebrations. Christmas brings a touch of magic to the space, with cosy cocktails, seasonal menus, and surprise performances.

Elegant but never formal, Café Ciel is where great food, cocktails, and atmosphere come together, a hidden gem within The OWO, designed for lingering.
