A food fight in the kitchen, flambé at your table — you love a good drama.

Raise the stakes at Circus, London’s most exciting new restaurant. After the meal, expect an interactive show that includes burlesque, drag and a few aerialists thrown in for good measure.

The look is flamboyant glamour (care of Tom Dixon) — from the secret entrance to the mirror balls to the bespoke dancer’s pole. Drinks like theatrical cocktails for two and punch bowls for up to twenty are best shared. On the menu: American-inspired comfort food like baby back ribs with guava barbecue sauce and Mexican spice.

Come dessert, you’ll be demanding an encore.

Circus, 27-29 Endell Street, WC2H 9BA (0207420 9300 or circus-london.co.uk).
