About Babylon at The Roof Gardens

Situated one hundred feet above Kensington High Street, Babylon at the Roof Gardens has established itself as one of London’s most impressive venues. The dining room is an elegant but contemporary space with a subtle ‘nature’ theme, emphasised by vivid greens and leaf motifs. Popular with local high-flyers and well-dressed foodies, the restaurant offers a classic British menu that changes with the seasons to feature the freshest seasonal produce. We love the sautéed diver scallops with smoked bacon and the tender fillet of Scottish beef with a rich Madeira jus. Be sure to leave room for the dessert – Babylon’s apricot and Cointreau soufflé is a sensation. As you would expect, the service is impeccable and the wine list is full of hand-picked gems.

Signature dish

Scottish fillet of beef confit shallots, vine tomato, ratte potato, summer truffle, Madeira jus

Sample dishes

  • Sautéed diver scallops, black pudding, white onion puree, crispy pigs ear, £14
  • Roasted fillet of Lake District beef, fondant potato, button mushrooms, confit garlic, thyme jus, £26

Babylon at The Roof Gardens was very nice, good service and good food. It was a shame because we wanted to go to the gardens but a function was on. The food portions are certainly not large... so dont expect that. But it was nice and good value with the deal.
