A short stroll from the renowned Wallace Collection gallery in fashionable Marylebone will lead diners to a true hidden gem. Bringing the flavours of Libya to London, their hearty dishes offer diners a unique opportunity to sample staples of the diverse cuisine, which has been influenced by North African and Mediterranean cuisines.
From the moment diners approach the humble independent restaurant, they’ll be able to get a taste of its rich café culture ambiance. Comfy chairs and tables sit out front for al fresco dining, which comes complete with shisha pipes. While inside, the dining space features a vibrant feel with traditional lanterns, Libyan music, crockery and a bright, airy Mediterranean feel that will make guests think they’re miles away from home.
Fans of North African and Moroccan cuisine will notice many familiar staples at Acacus, such as shakshouka, warming tagines and mezze. Seafood lovers will find a range of seasonal dishes such as octopus with couscous and fish soup. And for something heartier, diners can indulge in the likes of reshda, featuring tender lamb, veg and homemade pasta or chicken tagine.
Diners seeking a culinary adventure won’t be disappointed after a trip to Acacus. Any visit will be even more of a treat for Gourmet Society members who can look forward to money off their bills when they call to book ahead and present their cards upon arrival. It’s the perfect excuse for a starter, mezze dishes to share with friends or coffee and baklava.
