The monumental building that provides the setting for Sizzles is truly impressive – the contemporary elegance, trendy ambience and terrace almost whisk you away to Ibiza! You can eat here morning, noon and night, enjoying Leon Habers’ family-inspired and highly original dishes that include a dynamic twist, a hint of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, and an acidic touch. Fascinating!
