Think pink: rosé pairings and parties across London with D&D this summer

Make your summer pinker at these rosé-loving restaurants
Drink pink: D&D are ramping up the rosé
Ben Norum27 July 2017

Restaurant group D&D is encouraging Londoners to think pink this summer — yes, it is summer, we promise — with a host of menus and events across their venues themed around Provençal rosé.

The group has teamed up with Vins de Provence to create the menus, using a wide selection of top pink wine from across the region.

Events across the portfolio throughout August include a month of rosé brunches at both Avenue in St James’s and Aster in Victoria, where even the food will have a pink hue. That means bottomless blush served with Nordic crayfish in Victoria and lobster mac and eggs royale with unlimited rosé over in St James’s.

At Orrery in Marylebone you can match any meal with a flight of three Provençal rosés for £15.

Chelsea’s Bluebird will be pink-ifying its afternoon tea for the month, serving pink cupcakes with rose petal icing, mini raspberry pana cottas and pink macaroons along with summery sandwiches and — you guessed it — Provençal rosé. What’s more, £1 from every one of these teas will go straight to the Pink Ribbon Foundation breast cancer charity.

There’ll also be a series of tastings, enabling you to learn a bit more about Provençal rosé. Avenue’s head sommelier Agustin Trapero will hold one in the restaurant on Wednesday 2nd August, and winemaker Pierre Duffort from Domaine de Rimauresq will be on hand at Le Pont De La Tour on August 16.

Still after more? The rosé will be flowing free at a brunch party inspired by St Tropez on the roof of Coq d'Argent on Sunday August 20. Now, if only we could get some Provençal weather to match.
