Museum quality. Crivelli's Garden has opened in The National Gallery on the mezzanine level of the Saintsbury Wing with views overlooking Trafalgar Square. The 180-seat restaurant and bar will focus on Mediter-ranean food and drink with a mix of Provençal and northern Italian cuisine. If you want a wonderful view of the new Tate Modern Museum and Millennium Footbridge, visit The Bridge restaurant, which recently opened at One Pauls Walk. Oliver Peyton has opened The Admiralty restaurant, with French regional food, in Somerset House on The Strand. 755 is closed, and the owners will be opening an inn in the country with a restaurant and pub attached. Leith's and Leith's Soho have been sold. Leith's Soho is now a restaurant called Beak Street. Leith's in Notting Hill has closed for a major refurbishment and will reopen September 9--no name yet. Vendome has closed. The Mayfair space has been taken over by A-Z Restaurant Group and is set to become a Zafferano clone. Cecconi's, the long-standing Italian restaurant near Bond Street, is also closed. Rumor has it that the restaurant has been bought by Che's owner, Hanni Farsi. |
