Default a fab restaurant...

...probably for a special occasion given the huuuuge cost, but i went to reflets par pierre gagnaire last night at the intercon festival city, and it was completely amazing...better than verre overall, i reckon...

food and service was great...it's worth going for the array of amuse bouches alone...presented with great theatrical flourish...

the place itself is quite kitsch but i liked it, loads of purple chandeliers, mirrors and candles and the like...i didn't think i'd rate it as much as i did, cos i wasn't a big fan of sketch in london...

mind you, it's a bit odd having a 360 degree view of yourself on the loo, but i just closed my eyes, lol...

we went for a couple in the new champagne bar first...great view, but it was quiet, i guess it will get busier as people hear about it...

MM, xx

ooh sounds fantastic, same kind of food as verre? btw thanks for recommending that along with Vu as everyone loved both, but verre was tops and everyone loved it and well worth the money.

Lol about the loos
