Fortnum & Mason, London

To all of you : Enjoy your trip !

 

Tradition tradition! This establishment has been in Piccadilly since 1707. Comparable to Hédiard (in Paris), this store is specialized in teas and cakes. Cakes are not my cup of tea, but I really like teas, mostly green ones. And those meticulous packaging with an English granny flavor are absolutely delicious. A small walk between teas shelves gives some ideas of greedy gifts to devour with eyes first… Between two cakes: a La Prairie beauty break? Or having a drink at the wine bar… Proust’s Madeleine.

Londres: Fortnum & Mason

… à tous!

 

Ah la tradition ! Voici un établissement qui remonte à 1707. Une épicerie fine comparable à Hédiard, spécialisée dans les thés et gâteaux. Les gâteaux : pas vraiment ma tasse de thé, mais j’aime beaucoup les thés, plutôt verts d’ailleurs. Ces emballages, présentation soignée et côté mamie anglaise, absolument délicieux. Petite promenade entre les rayonnages : quelques idées cadeaux gourmands à dévorer du regard et plus si affinités ! Entre deux cakes : une pause beauté La Prairie ? Ou siroter paresseusement un verre au bar à vins… La Madeleine Proust.

London nights: Sketch, Momo, Osatsuma…

SKETCH

Superb, isn’t it? Swarovski. A mirror wall dotted with brilliants, so glam ! Where? Darling, at Sketch! Another “considered to be essential”: the famous Momo’s restaurant and lounge. Really great fanciful decoration, friendly smart hype atmosphere. All of the ingredients combined in the same location, absolutely impossible to find in Paris, without this irritating arrogance bonus. 

Yes Yes, Ms Moss is everywhere !

Tonight DJ : Blue Logan is also an excellent fashion illustrator.

Sketch : 9 Conduit Street, London W1S 2XG – Tel : 0207 659 45 00

Waiting for Mr. Cabdriver, I sat back on the window of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s new shop. I really like Edgard Allan Poe. Nice gifts, those plates.

MOMO

Another night: in Soho, having drinks with friends at Momo (the Sketch owner) in a laid back delightful Marrakech ambiance and decoration. On Regent Street, I snapshot the Burberry’s windows. 

At Momo, in spite of the crowd: it’s really full, we could stay for ages… except my urge of sushi and sashimi!

Momo : 25 Heddon Street, Regent Street, London, W1 4BH – Tel : 0207 434 40 40

Yes! Sushi, sashimi: let’s go to Osatsuma(“contemporary japanese dining” I quote)… on the road, my “last” window shot of the night, sorry I can’t stop myself!

OSATSUMA

Too much choice: Agnès can’t decide, the kitchen is opened till 11-12pm. It’s good, pretty substantial and correct price. By the way, it’s a Chinese restaurant chain, funny for a Japanese restaurant!

Osatsuma : 56 Wardour Street, London, W1D 4JG – Tel : 020 7437 8338
