The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
A bar belonging to a fashion house will almost by definition be intimidatingly stylish: there cannot be many bars where the cocktail menu varies according to the colours and themes of the current fashion season. Nonetheless, the staff appear to be courteous and welcoming without fail, making for a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere in spite of the high design interior featuring Missoni’s signature colourful geometric prints. A similar professionalism results in very good renditions of both classic and modern cocktails. The odd lapse mars some of the more creative dishes but basics such as excellent green olives and fried courgettes provide superior nibbles and there is a selection of intensely flavoured and notably creamy ice-creams to round things off.
