A four-time winner of the World’s Best Bar Awards, Artesian at The Langham has a lofty reputation, and it’s well deserved. The bartending team are some of the best in the business, the space itself (with its signature purple chairs) is elegant and luxurious, and the drinks are knockout. New and creative techniques are used to extract the most amount of flavour from the ingredients used, which include the likes of kale (in a Martini), cep (in a twist on a Negroni) and gooseberry (in a Daiquiri-inspired serve). Artesian also collaborates with leading chefs on its bar bite menu – Angelo Sato of Humble Chicken and Chet Sharma of Bibi have both done it – so it’s worth grabbing a snack too.
