At Bennie Restaurant, we’ve always believed that where you dine is just as important as what you eat. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil the newly reimagined private dining room — an intimate, elegant, and welcoming space designed to bring warmth, personality, and the spirit of southern Europe to the heart of Fitzrovia.
Located just moments from London’s Soho, Covent Garden, and Marylebone, Bennie is perfectly placed for those looking to host a private event in central London. Whether you’re planning a team meeting, birthday celebration, workshop, or client dinner, our upgraded private room offers a distinctive setting — where Mediterranean charm meets modern amenities.
A Warm Mediterranean Welcome in Central London
Our previous private room was a versatile but understated space. Now, it has been transformed into something altogether more atmospheric. Drawing inspiration from the earthy palettes of southern France, Spain’s rustic interiors, Italy’s charming trattorias, and the laid-back coastal vibes of Portugal, the room is now imbued with a soft, bohemian flair that’s both sophisticated and relaxed.
Walls have been painted in deep terracotta tones — reminiscent of sun-washed villas and clay-roofed towns from Lisbon to Florence. Bamboo floor lamps gently illuminate the room, casting a warm glow that’s ideal for both daytime meetings and ambient evening dinners.
Adding to the character of the space, we’ve introduced textured wall art made from natural materials like seagrass and woven fibres, which offer subtle nods to artisanal European craftsmanship. A beautifully mounted large mirror enhances the visual space, making the room feel open and breathable — ideal for events where guests should feel unconfined and at ease.

Taste the Best of Modern European Cuisine
Of course, what truly completes the experience at Bennie is the food. Our kitchen is rooted in the traditions of modern European cuisine, with a menu that proudly celebrates the flavours of the Mediterranean.
Our private dining menu draws heavily from French technique, Italian heartiness, Spanish boldness, and Portuguese simplicity. Think canapés of smoked salmon with dill crème fraîche; fresh tuna tartare with mango and lime; rich beef meatballs in rustic tomato sauce; and grilled seasonal vegetables finished with olive oil and sea salt.
Larger events may enjoy shared plates inspired by Iberian tapas and Italian antipasti — designed to bring guests together around the table. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are always available, and we’re happy to tailor menus to your preferences.
The result is a menu that’s rich in variety, beautifully presented, and deeply satisfying — a true reflection of Europe’s culinary diversity.
