Quo Vadis
Approx 12:50pm - 13:30pm
26-29 Dean St, London W1D 3LL
Having seen this place rated highly on Google Maps, I figured it would only be right to pop in for a quick cocktail on my way to the rest of my bar crawl.
The front of the building is adorned in colourful, stained glass windows, and has a collection of sunny, outdoor seating lining the path. I made my way through the revolving door to be greeted by a very polite and helpful matradee, who showed me to a quiet table in the bar area.
My first impression was that it was a lot 'posher' than I originally imagined it to be - the dining area looks very swank - but the bar banter made the whole place feel very welcoming and comfortable. There was no music playing at the bar here, so the atmospheric chit-chat was my main focus of entertainment.
As I was perusing the cocktail menu, the waiter - who was lovely and helpful and chatty - recommended that I try one of their aged Negronis. Well, I certainly couldn't turn that down! The Negroni arrive a couple of minutes later, paired with a generous helping of ice and a half-slice of orange. It was delicious! A lot smoother than your average Negroni, and it went down very well! I later learned that it was actually made by the waiter! Brand name 'Fatman's Aged Negroni'. This isn't available in the shops, so if you want to try it head down there for an exclusive taste!
Overall, a short, but very pleasant visit to Quo Vadis. I'll definitely come back at some point to sample something from the cocktail menu, and maybe even purchase a bottle of the Negroni!
Total cost: 12GBP (13.50GBP with service charge)
ThymeTip: Give the Negroni a whirl, if that's your kind of thing.
