Signature, Little Venice

A table behind the iconic Little Venice windows

Gather around our signature Rotonda Table, behind the iconic sea-facing windows of Little Venice. Ten to fifteen guests, two hours, sunset through to late.

The Rotonda is a single curved banquette on a raised platform, wrapped around solid wood tables and set into a stone alcove. In front of it is the arched, sea-facing window that Little Venice is photographed for, open to the water, with the small island that carries Bao's name on the horizon.

What makes it unusual is not only the view. The DJ booth is immediately beside it. Most venues put their best table as far from the music as possible. Here the best seat and the loudest seat are the same seat. You are set apart from the room and in the middle of it at once.

It is a party table before it is a sunset table, and it is bookable from the sunset onwards in two hour slots. A booking from seven o'clock takes in the light going down over the bay, the sunset party, and the saxophone at half past eight, without moving.

There is one of it. That is worth saying plainly. On any given night this table seats between ten and fifteen people, and then it is gone.
