Oblix

About halfway up The Shard, London’s tallest building, on level 32 of 72 to be precise, sits Oblix, a two-in-one bar and restaurant from Rainer Becker of Zuma fame. Oblix East, looking east, is your dress-up-to-the-nines destination for cocktails, afternoon teas and live music. Oblix West, looking west, is a contemporary grill, with menus for all occasions and all pockets, including tea, weekend brunch, set lunches, and tasting menus. Simple luxuries are a strong suit, from spicy lobster spaghetti, to outsize wagyu tomahawks or whole turbot with citrus and olive oil. The views, needless to say, are spectacular.
