This lofty modern Mediterranean bistro draws on an inner city former brewery site’s industrial heritage with polished zeal.
Two towering steel islands run the restaurant’s length; one frames an open kitchen and supports a mezzanine dining area directly above, the other, the bar. Clad in louvered panes of glass and mirror, they refract light and reflect a multitude of angles within the dining space to highlight design details.
Custom-built timber tables and chairs with bottle green and charcoal leather seating create natural warmth amongst the concrete floor and distressed brick wall finishes, whilst sinuous custom-made brass light rods suspended over the tabletops add a golden patina to the restaurant’s brass accents.
