Mentioned in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant combines flavour intensity with precision, offering a dining experience that balances richness, fire and restraint.Inspired by the army mess bars of India, the menu at Brigadiers is built around grilled meats, bold marinades, and layered spice blends — all executed with control. The kitchen focuses on barbecue and tandoor-led preparations, using smoke, char and dry heat to deepen flavour without overwhelming the palate.Plates are structured and often designed for sharing, but the compositions remain deliberate. A skewer of lamb may arrive with a single chutney or crisp garnish; fried soft-shell crab might be balanced by acidity and spice, rather than sweetness.

Sauces are concentrated, meats are well rested, and textures are played against each other to maintain clarity.The interior reflects the same controlled energy. Dark woods, leather details and low lighting create a sense of atmosphere that is immersive without being heavy. The layout is designed for both small groups and larger gatherings, but the tone remains focused and cohesive — a dining space that encourages engagement without losing refinement.Located at 1 Bloomberg Arcade, London, EC4N 8AR, United Kingdom, in the Greater London area, Brigadiers sits within the financial district yet avoids the expected formality of its surroundings.
