A weekend at The Royal Exchange with our restaurants, bars and boutiques.

The Royal Exchange is now the ultimate weekend destination in the City: combining the best of contemporary cuisine — served by an array of bars and restaurants, each set in stunning, unique locations across the venue — with luxury shopping from the biggest names in global fashion and design. Whether you want to marvel at our four-and-a-half centuries of history, experience cutting-edge fine dining or elevate your outfit into something truly special, this is the place to be.

Stop the press: from 26th April, both the Fortnum’s Bar and Restaurant and boutique will be open on Saturdays. Make a date to be wowed by what the Evening Standard calls “the most Instagrammable restaurant in London,” where you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of our iconic central courtyard while enjoying the best of British fare. Explore the Alladin’s cave of riches that is the Fortnum & Mason boutique or, with a dedicated concierge on hand to take care of your shopping — simply relax.

Make sure you pay a visit to Sartoria Dei Duchi — all the way from Atri, Italy — to discover the artistry of the brand’s second-skin suits: “handcrafted for those who appreciate the elegance of quiet luxury”. You can now experience the tailors’ signature craftsmanship at weekends: whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe for the season or are an aficionado of authentic craftsmanship, the boutique’s doors are open and waiting to welcome you.

The weekend hasn’t been the same since Jang launched its glorious Saturday Night Dinner. It’s a chance to savour Chef Dana’s celebrated dishes outside the working week, with the full a la carte menu available to enjoy: including special creations like Yuk Hwe Steak Tartare and Lobster Kal-Guksu. Take advantage of the stunning views of our central courtyard — and the incredible offer of 50% off of every glass and bottle of Champagne on the restaurant’s list (yes, you read that correctly!)

Engel has redefined weekend indulgence with a new morning ritual: the ultimate Champagne brunch experience, here at The Royal Exchange. Sip on glasses of fizz whilst relishing a brunch menu that blends luxury with comfort in all the best ways: we’re talking Black Forest Pancakes, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Waffles — and Engel’s signature Breakfast Hot Dogs. With a live DJ serving impeccable AM vibes in Engel’s elegant setting there’s no other place to be on Saturday morning.

And there’s so, so much more: from indulging in an authentic Persia tea experience at Kiani Tea — or Copenhagen coffeehouse hospitality at Hagen — to treating yourself to beauty therapies at M&K Aesthetics. Make sure you try Buns From Home’s Cherry Cheesecake Bun on the weekend of the 9th: “a soft, rich and creamy cheesecake filling piped into every bun, then drizzled with a sweet black cherry coulis.” The mouth waters!

And at the end of the week, find pure indulgence in The Libertine’s iconic Sunday roast. Here, that means free-flowing wine and the butcher’s choice of high-welfare meat served with all the trimmings: local seasonal veg, fluffy Yorkshires and crispy roast potatoes with lashings of rich gravy.⁠
