#FLODown: YOPO at The Mandrake Hotel
YOPO is located at the swanky Mandrake Hotel in Fitzrovia, and has replaced the former restaurant Serge et le Phoque. They serve a selection of classic European dishes with a touch of South American flavour in a beautiful setting complete with ceiling murals, foliage, plush velvet furnishing and mood lighting.
They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, we recommend going for dinner and indulging in dishes including aubergines with thick soy sauce, charcoal grilled sea bass, potatoes sprinkled with crisps and smothered with parmesan cheese. The food is tasteful, subtle and complimented by a selection of impressive cocktails.
WHAT TO EAT?
The bread here is truly delightful, fantastically moist and perfect with some olive oil.
We recommend the wholemeal sourdough, butter and olive oil.

Asparagus, wild garlic gnocchi, swiss chard & capers
