This July and August, The Peninsula London will welcome back Soleil by Claude, its laid-back rooftop bar and restaurant, with a host of enhanced offerings. From Tuesday, July 14th until Wednesday, September 2nd, guests can enjoy leisurely lunches, stylish sundowners and balmy dinners high above London’s skyline. A new menu for summer 2026 includes a light crudo selection, generous Mediterranean-inspired sharing dishes and playful cocktails. 

Taking over the space of two-Michelin-starred Brooklands restaurant on the eighth-floor terrace, Soleil by Claude brings color-drenched charm and bold flavors alongside panoramic views across Hyde Park and open-air seating. 

Conceived by Chef Director Claude Bosi, he comments, “The response to the pop-up’s first year was incredibly rewarding. Reopening it felt like a natural progression, an opportunity to build on that success, further evolve the concept, and create something even more memorable for our guests. It’s a project we’re very proud of, and we’re delighted to be welcoming people back.”

Described by Bosi as a ‘breath of summer’, the menu is infused with Southern European spirit, featuring delicious new dishes. Salads and raw plates include sea bass carpaccio with cucumber and fennel, Galicia beef carpaccio and carpaccio of summer tomato. Globe artichokes are served with anchovy dressing, and lobster rolls with Koffman chips. Steamed John Dory, piccata-style veal chop and lemony roast chicken are followed by Soleil’s ‘Tarte Tropezienne’, warm Madeleines and a roving ice cream trolley.

Alongside a curated list of Champagne and fizz, joyous cocktails by Brooklands Bar’s James Tamang deliver lush riffs on the classics. Coconut Negroni, which mixes Planteray Cut & Dry Rum with Mancino Rosso Amaranto and bitters infused with rosemary, olives and orange.

Inspired by the long, unhurried meals you have on holiday, where the food is generous, the conversation flows, and you don’t worry about the clock, at Soleil by Claude time slows down a little… Bringing the spirit of Europe’s sultry coastlines to Belgravia, the airy, open space hosts an evening DJ from Friday to Sunday to set the summer mood. 

Following this pop-up, Brooklands by Claude Bosi, The Peninsula London’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, will reopen on September 3, 2026, with a new Autumn menu.
