Prefer your Michelin restaurants stuffy and grey?
This one isn’t – owner David Moore is known for his colourful shirts
Back in 1991 that wasn’t the vision, see the photo in the video, it was aesthetic and stripped back
It took about half it’s life as a restaurant to relax
And I’m here today as a food history buff to see a bit of living history in action – which I will explore more in part two where I speak to David himself
I met him at a friend’s birthday party where he suggested I come by to try the special year 35 menu. The meal was on the house, but the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
