If you're heading to Frieze 2026 (14-18 October), all that consumption of art is probably going to make you hungry for consumption of another kind. Here's our guide to where to eat in and around the fair this year.
Frieze London
Rita's are back for their ninth year with 'Rita's Taco Bar' on the terrace. Expect tacos and subs including Carnitas, Tinga de Pollo and spiced Mushroom, alongside a seasonal salad, while drinks include a Mezcal Paloma and hibiscus seltzer.
Maison Francois are doing a pop-up canteen running 11am–6pm. They'll be serving up brasserie classics, a well-stocked bar and will have a terrace for drinks or alfresco dining.
Jikoni at Frieze will run a special vegetarian menu with a menu celebrating their friends at Waltham Place, who have supplied many of the nourishing vegetables and herbs for the restaurant.
Sessions Arts Club's offering this year is titled Pilgrimage, taking its starting point from a series of sunset paintings by Jonny Gent and the book The Way of Wyrd by Brian Bates. Acting Head Chef Fenella Brereton is planning a seasonal menu.
The speciality coffee group WatchHouse is here for the first time with a curated pop-up coffee bar, offering a selection of espresso, filter and iced coffees, alongside pastries and sandwiches.
Frieze Masters
Ham Yard Restaurant has a lovely space at the fair and will feature an autumnal menu with dishes like Delica pumpkin fritti with sage and hot chilli honey on offer. They also have a bar which this year will serve ‘Liquid Art’ cocktails inspired by the hotel’s curated art collection.
Trullo is back at Frieze Masters with a special menu of much-loved Italian dishes. On this year's menu will be Hand-dived Salcombe Bay scallops with garlic and pangrattato alongside fresh pasta dishes such as the Pappardelle with beef shin ragu and, of course, tiramisu for dessert.
Nobu's catering arm are bringing dishes from Nobu London Portman Square to Frieze Masters, so you can expect their signature sushi offering.
And if you just fancy a good coffee and some nice pastries, there will also be a cafe from Pophams on site.
