Dining at the The Great Eastern Hotel

Aurora restaurant - Light shines through the beautifully restored stained-glass dome of the Great Eastern’s main restaurant, where classical European cooking is served in a formal setting. There are 176 covers and a menu that changes with the seasons. Typical dishes include Ravioli of Escargot, Roast Guinea Fowl, and Pain Perdu with vanilla ice cream. Aurora restaurant is open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner.

Aurora Bar - On entering the domed Aurora restaurant, the bar is situated on the left and is separated from the restaurant area by metal screening. The curvaceous pewter bar is well stocked with classic cocktail ingredients, aperitifs, and digestifs. Guests enjoy their drinks in cushion-scattered chairs. The bar is open Monday to Friday afternoon and evening.

Terminus - This busy brasserie, with stool-lined granite bar extending the length of the room, is popular with financial workers from The City business district, as well as tourists and hotel guests. There is an open kitchen. Terminus is open for breakfast, snacks, light meals, weekend brunch, and cocktails.

George - City workers and hotel guests tuck into British favorites, such as steak-and-kidney pie and roast beef sandwiches, or unwind over real ale at this English bar and dining room. The most striking feature of the decor, revealing the late Victorian predilection for historical pastiche, is the ornately carved wooden ceiling, blending Tudor and Jacobean styles.

Fishmarket Restaurant - Seafood and crustacea are served at this intimate restaurant in the east wing. Fish-themed mosaics and a magnificent display of crustacea are overlooked by the stained-glass windows, white stucco ceiling, and delicate chandeliers.

Fishmarket Champagne Bar - The centerpiece of this smart but informal venue, with high ceilings and wood-paneled walls, is a large, horseshoe-shaped bar. There is a wide choice of champagne and wines by the glass, as well as spirits, bottled beers, and an edited selection of dishes from the adjoining Fishmarket Restaurant, including oysters, smoked salmon, and caviar.

Miyabi - There is space for just 28 diners at this Japanese restaurant overlooking Liverpool Street. Miyabi, meaning ‘Grace’, also offers bento and sushi takeaways for those in a hurry or unable to get a seat at one of the black-lacquered tables. Specialties are sushi, sashimi, and tempura. Japanese beers, sakes, and wine are on the drinks list.
