The Concept
Florence Knight, renowned for her work at Polpetto and Sessions Arts Club, unveils Lunette, her first solo venture. Nestled atop St Clement hotel, part of the 180 Quarter development, Lunette emerges as a testament to Knight's desire for a more intimate dining experience. Collaborating with Mark Wadhwa and Nick Jones, the space is a modernist's dream, adorned with Jean Prouvé panels and bathed in natural light. Named after Aldwych station's arched windows, Lunette embodies Knight's unique blend of design and gastronomy.
What to Expect
Lunette offers a 30-seat dining experience, where the setting resembles a curated loft. The interior, envisioned by Eagle + Hodges, boasts an off-white palette, pale wood accents, and steel tabletops. Artist monographs add a touch of intellectual charm. Knight's menu, though not detailed here, promises her signature sensibility for combining simplicity with sophistication. The riverside views are a canvas themselves, elevating the dining experience to an art form. Expect a blend of Knight's past influences and her artistic sensibilities.
The Verdict
Lunette is a masterclass in understated elegance, where design and dining converge. Request a seat by the window for the best view.
