Since opening in September 2025, CÉ LA VI London has swiftly established itself as one of the capital’s most sought-after dining destinations. Perched on the top two floors of Paddington Square, the modern Asian rooftop restaurant and bar has brought its globally celebrated energy to the city, redefining west London’s skyline with bold cuisine, immersive design, and panoramic views that stretch across the capital.
Part of an internationally acclaimed hospitality brand with iconic locations across Asia, the Middle East and beyond, CÉ LA VI is synonymous with high-impact dining, vibrant social energy and refined late-night culture. Its London outpost continues this legacy, delivering a multi-sensory experience that seamlessly blends elevated gastronomy, cutting-edge cocktails and a soundtrack of curated DJs and live performances.
At the heart of the restaurant is Executive Chef Elton Zaka, whose 19-year career spans some of the world’s most respected restaurant brands, including Sushisamba, Nobu, and Amazónico. Renowned for his creative precision and high-performance kitchens, Chef Zaka brings a confident, contemporary perspective to CÉ LA VI London’s modern Asian menu, crafting dishes that are both expressive and impeccably executed.
The menu is a celebration of flavour and finesse, from indulgent Wagyu beef gyoza with soy sesame dip and black cod croquettes finished with dynamite sauce and fresh dill, to refined sushi highlights including hamachi chutoro maki with hamachi mince, green apple, and yuzu kosho mayo, and softshell crab maki layered with spicy mayonnaise and unagi sauce. Seasonal desserts continue the journey with the aromatic vanilla and bayleaf panna cotta with curry crumble and spiced roasted pineapple.
Behind the bar, the cocktail programme mirrors the kitchen’s creativity, with bold serves such as the Sichuan Paloma, Lychee Moon, and Imperial Cosmo, complemented by an extensive, globally curated wine and sake list.
The Season of Light
Launching in October 2026, CÉ LA VI London introduces a new seasonal menu celebrating the flavours of winter, perfectly timed for the festive season and enjoyed against panoramic views of the London skyline.

Highlights include roasted kabocha with black truffle, baby squid with strawberry kimchi, black cod croquettes, yellowtail sashimi, Wagyu tataki and tuna tataki, alongside signature mains including black truffle ‘sushi rice’ risotto, Wagyu beef fillet and 35-day dry-aged grass-fed rib eye served with kombu butter or black pepper sauce. A limited-edition cocktail collection complements the menu with warming spices, winter berries and aromatic botanicals.
