Sarastro, named for a character in Mozart’s Magic Flute is known as ‘the show after the show’. This wonderful restaurant in Drury Lane has a great atmosphere. It is a rich tapestry of flamboyant artwork, elaborate furnishings, gilt furniture and wall mounted opera boxes which provide a spectacular view of the interior.

On first approaching Sarastro, the eye is enchanted by the voluptuous floral displays which adorn the exterior of this Grade II listed Victorian building. Closer to, the intriguing ‘old curiosity shop’ interior can be glimpsed through the semicircular paned glass windows; drawing visitors into the heart of the restaurant to exclaim with joy at the unexpected vision that unfolds before them.

As imaginative and remarkable as a scene from the Theatreland, the interior of Sarastro is ablaze with swirling colour and visual excitement. Named after a character in Mozart’s ‘Magic Flute’, Sarastro first opened its doors in August 1996.

Housed in what was once a public house on 19th century gin soaked Drury Lane and latterly part of Peabody Housing, Sarastro quickly established itself as one of London’s most unique and must-see restaurants.

Appropriately located in the heart of Theatreland, Sarastro is a rich tapestry of flamboyant artwork, gilt furniture and wall-mounted opera boxes amongst which are numerous props and knick-knacks collected from nearby shows. This spectacular interior makes Sarastro not just a feast for the palate but for the eyes and ears as well with operatic and classic music filling the room.
