Oblix

Restaurant with view over London

"Oblix" in London is an extraordinary restaurant located on the 32nd floor of the iconic skyscraper The Shard, offering an unparalleled view of the British capital. It belongs to the renowned restaurant group Azumi Ltd., founded by Rainer Becker—a name also associated with the famous establishments Zuma and Roka. Since its opening in 2013, "Oblix" has established itself as a place that combines fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere and spectacular views. The restaurant is divided into two areas—Oblix West and Oblix East—which each offer different experiences, appealing to a wide range of guests, from fine dining enthusiasts to cocktail lovers.

Fine dining at The Shard

The ambiance at "Oblix" is modern and stylish, inspired by the aesthetics of New York high-rise restaurants. In Oblix West, the dining area features an open kitchen with a charcoal grill and rotisserie, allowing guests a direct view of the meal preparation. The decor is elegant yet not overly formal, with large windows showcasing views of West London, including landmarks like the Thames and the London Eye. Oblix East, on the other hand, is a vibrant bar and lounge overlooking East London, with views of the Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf. Here, live music or DJ sets create a dynamic atmosphere, while the seating—ranging from high tables to cozy sofas—offers a relaxed vibe. Both areas take full advantage of the height of The Shard to provide guests with a sense of exclusivity and spaciousness.

Oblix restaurant experience London

Culinarily, "Oblix" represents modern international cuisine with a strong focus on high-quality ingredients and refined preparation. In Oblix West, the signature Pepper Steak is a highlight—a juicy piece of meat from the Josper grill, served with a creamy pepper sauce praised for its perfect balance of spice and smoothness. Equally impressive is the whole Dover sole, a flatfish prepared with butter, capers, and parsley, noted for its tenderness. In Oblix East, more innovative, lighter dishes are presented, such as the Red Tuna Tartare with citrus notes and a hint of chili, skillfully combining freshness and spice. The side dishes are also noteworthy: the truffle-parmesan fries are often described as irresistible and elevate even simple dishes to a new level. For a sweet conclusion, the caramel-pecan dessert paired with bourbon ice cream offers a harmonious mix of sweet and slightly smoky flavors.

Cocktails and live music London

The drink selection is equally remarkable. At Oblix East, the bar shines with a creative cocktail menu that includes both classic and whimsical creations—often featuring ingredients that complement the dishes. The wine selection is extensive and carefully curated, with a focus on American-inspired wines that perfectly accompany the grilled dishes. The Afternoon Tea, served at Oblix East, is particularly popular, offering a selection of exquisite teas, scones, and small treats, providing an elegant yet relaxed experience.

Modern international cuisine Oblix

The service at "Oblix" is often described as friendly and professional, with staff striving to make the visit unforgettable—whether through recommendations for food and drinks or by attentively addressing individual requests. However, during peak times, it can become somewhat hectic, and the noise level, especially in Oblix East, is perceived by some guests as bothersome. The fact that window seats cannot be guaranteed can also lead to occasional disappointment, although even tables further back offer impressive views.
