Established in 1945 and widely regarded as one of London’s most enduring Italian restaurants, Franco’s in St James’s welcomes the return of its celebrated rosé terrace for summer 2026, marking the 21st consecutive year the restaurant has dedicated its Jermyn Street terrace to the world’s most beloved warm-weather wine.
Overlooking the historic boutiques and galleries of Jermyn Street, the terrace which seats up to 25 guests, now features one of London’s most extensive rosé wine selections, with more than 60 varieties curated by Head Sommelier Paolo Pellegrino. The list includes benchmark rosé producers such as Domaines Ott and Pascal Jolivet alongside small-production bottles and rare finds rarely seen in the UK. Standout bottles on the list include Villa Calicantus, I Garagisti Di Sorgono, and a selection of small-production Italian rosatos, showcasing the remarkable breadth of rosé styles, from elegant Provençal expressions to structured Italian rosatos designed for food pairing.
Enjoy classic dishes such as burrata with peas, broad beans & Sardinian artichokes, linguine with lobster and fresh seabass with herb gnocchi, mussels & ‘barba di frate, alongside cocktails or a selection of rosé wines. For something extra, Franco’s also offers a cigar menu to complete the experience.
Address: 61 Jermyn St, London SW1Y 6LX
