Inspector comments
"Contemporary cooking in stylish old cinema."
Overview
This modern, split-level brasserie is located on the ground floor of the art deco Rex cinema and it’s a lovely setting with a pianist at the white baby grand and an abundance of period detail including pillars and ornate ceiling friezes. An Italian influence runs through the modern European menu.
