We’re talking about the vibrant zone directly across from Midsummer Place shopping Centre — where Exchange House, CBX, The Hub and the stretch of Midsummer Boulevard down to Olive Tree come together to form one of MK City Centre’s most lively evening hotspots.
Dinner, Your Way
From stylish date nights to lively group dinners, there’s a restaurant here for every taste.
- Tuck into premium cuts at
Middleton’s Steakhouse & Grill, 
Marco’s New York Italian (inside the 
Holiday Inn) or 
Parrilla Steakhouse. - Sample the flavours of the Med at
Melis, 
Deroka, or 
Olive Tree. - For Asian cuisine, you’re spoilt for choice with
Legend One or 
Akasaka’s fresh sushi, the Indian fine dining at 
Maaya, and the bold Thai and Indo-Chinese dishes at

Brasserie Blanc, 
Zizzi, 
Browns, or 
Las Iguanas for Latin flair with cocktails to match.
