BLAKES LONDON
The designer's sense of theatre brings the restaurant alive. Anouska Hempel's intimate bar, many-splendoured Chinese Room and subtle, sophisticated, sexy dining room are a triumph. From the trademark screens, which palter with dimensions and create private dining spaces, and the unsurpassed private collection of Thai mountain tribal costumes on the walls, to each succulent detail of how the food - Anouska Hempel's food - is presented, this is an internationally-recognised jewel of a restaurant likened to: "an opium den managed by Coco Chanel."
