Eat, sleep, rave, repeat – that's the motto for this weekend. First up, we're fine dining courtesy of Gordan Ramsay, followed by a party under a railway arch. Saturday starts with a brunch via Texas and ends on a 12-hour Night Train. And Sunday, we've got a flooding of colour and a gastronomic blow out …eat,sleep,rave,repeat, we told you so. |

|
EAT:
LONDON HOUSE |
|
DRINK:
THE SALTLIME MARGARITA BAR |
|
We're starting the weekend south of the river at Gordan Ramsay's latest restaurant London House–and it's a big one. The restaurant has taken over old vacated Bennett the Oyster Bar, seats 1300 covers and steers away from the Italian/American flavours of Union Street to a modern European palette. Expect dishes such as venison haunch with puy lentils, gremolata-crusted yellow fin tuna and baked haddock with squid ink. Our tip–get there early and nab a seat by the fireplace for a pre-dinner cocktail. |
|
Last week we barbequed, this week we're salting our margaritas – winter we're done with you. The SaltLime Margarita Bar and Supper Club are back with their usual recipe of food, tunes, and boozy cocktails. But if you missed out on tickets for the sit down dinner, don't worry, the free after party kicks off from 9pm complete with a purpose built margarita bar and live music. And if you can't get in? Beagle around the corner have mighty fine cocktails, too. |

Salt beef hash with fried eggs, banoffee pancakes, and eggs with home fries…welcome to the latest brunch menu from barbeque stalwart Red Dog Saloon.

And now we dance. As always, Egg is giving us an all night sweat infused party
(and it's only February) of house music all-stars. Flit between the Loft, Apothecary and concourse rooms for electro beats from The Menendez Brothers, Jay Tempest and Benny Major (to name a few).

The Brando
|
|
|
|
It's cold, wet and the tube is on strike – Tahiti is calling. Welcome The Brando. Once Marlon Brando's private sanctuary, now a 12-island Polynesian atoll of Tetiaroa, 30 miles north of Tahiti. The resort is 35 villas of eco-friendly luxury – all energy is 100 percent renewable – via solar, deep ocean-water cooling and coconut oil biofuel, plus the atoll boasts an ecology university with scientists (and guests) studying the ecosystem. Otherwise, beach bars fronting crystalline water, a three Michelin star restaurant, a spa fringed with coconut palms, and, um, Mutiny on the Bounty fantasies, will keep you entertained. |

The Brando, Opens 1 July, Tahiti.

EAT:
KITCHEN TABLE |
|
SEE:
JAMES TURRELL |
|
Take your Sunday dinner up a notch at Kitchen Table. Head chef James Knappett (an ex-Ledbury alum) is hosting a one-off collaboration with executive chef Christopher Haatuft (of Lysverket, Norway). They will be serving up a 14- course tasting menu, each of what we expect to be a delicate fusion of Scandinavian and European cooking. And for those not up to speed, Kitchen Table is Bubbledogs' intimate chef's table of just 18 seats, meaning bookings are limited. Get on it. |
|
For those not content with our
February culturist pickings, head to the Pace gallery for a burst of colour via James Turrell. Famed for using light to extend and enhance perception, expect a flooding of colour via LED lights and projections. Turrell takes over the gallery in his sixth solo exhibition that includes two brand new installations housed in purpose built chambers on the ground floor of the gallery. Walk towards the light! |

THE KPH
|
|
|
|
We told you live music was on the up. Gig godfather Vince Power is at it again- this time relaunching Ladbroke Grove boozer The KPH. Styled as a live music hub-with Italian bites and an extensive cocktail and wine list- the two storey bar will play host to a roster of musical acts. St Martin's Press is kicking things off on Thursday, while Saturday sees Mojo on stage during the day, with Irish DJs Fergus Carson Williams of Nice and Sleazy and James Rodgers and William Courtney of South Paw taking to the decks at night. Fun. |
