1. Tattu

First up on our list of the most Instagrammable restaurants in London is Tattu, just a stone's throw from the also very aesthetic Covent Garden. If you're looking for a bold, maximalist vibe, no restaurant in London embraces a theme like Tattu does. 

‍

Each season, the restaurant is bedecked in seasonal decoration: when springtime rolls around, you can expect grandiose flowers hanging from the walls, twinkling fairy lights, and a garden room. Their winter garden feel is stunning, with an array of crisp and frosty decorations coming down from the ceiling. 

‍

Tattu is famed for its delicious food as well as its unique interior. It's an Asian fusion restaurant that celebrates the union of different cultures, so expect an experimental menu including red belly pork, tuna sashimi, and wild mushroom spring rolls—even the food is Instagrammable at Tattu.

2. Aqua London

Next up in our list of London restaurants fit for an influencer, we have not one but two, from the Aqua London group. With Aqua Nueva, a Spanish restaurant bringing the best of Barcelona (aka tortilla) to London, and Aqua Kyoto, offering contemporary Japanese food with a twist, you're spoilt for choice... of two totally different aesthetics. 

‍

The menu at Aqua Kyoto is a dreamy line-up of rock shrimp tempura, truffle miso, wasabi ice cream, and much more. Transforming even a classic California roll into a work of art, Japanese fine cuisine has never looked so aesthetic. 

‍

Its location high-up means these restaurants are flooded with natural light throughout the day, and offer a stunning view of London's lights in the evening. Aqua London offers four uniquely designed restaurants, and we couldn't recommend them enough.

5. Ours

The restaurant Ours is definitely one of the most Instagram-worthy restaurants in the capital. Why? Well, it aims to bring ‘outside in’, which means that the interior is festooned with trees and fairy lights, with a nod to retro chic. The high ceilings create a spectacular space, complete with private dining rooms on request. 

‍

If you're after something more than a meal, consider their Mamma Mia-themed brunch, and other quizzes and events hosted at Ours. It's all go! With a very special cocktail menu, and food options including the moreish Italian plates (think carpaccio, parmigiana, gnocchi and more) you might find at any Italian restaurant—Ours is the perfect night out for you, your friends, and your Instas.

Penelope's brings fusion to the next level, by combining traditional Spanish and Israeli cuisine. It's a member of the Amano Group in Covent Garden, and has received reviews that match the success of its sister restaurants. 

‍

10. Sparrow Italia

Sparrow's Art Deco dining room has become a staple of its location in Mayfair. Its menu combines a rustic Mediterranean feel with a contemporary twist, and that's exactly how we'd describe the restaurant's interior. 

‍

Sparrow encourages sharing—to make the most of the endlessly appetising menu. From Cornish oysters to truffle pizza to Wagyu carpaccio, they take traditional Italian recipes and give them an innovative twist. Although on the pricier end, Sparrow's rave reviews suggest that the food is worth its weight in gold (or maybe truffles).
