Evening all!
Today was a day of chilling and then starting to pack (well Jamie started.....its was my birthday after all!). Then I had a lovely birthday surprise and Jamie treated Jude and I to a late lunch at Nopi Soho http://www.nopi-restaurant.com/. It was fabulous! The food was amazeballs and the interior was so fresh and chic......love love loved it! Below are a few photos from my day which I thought I would share with you.
Jude was trying to help Jamie pack....
Starting to pack.......eeek
Birthday ring purchased from Hong Kong, it makes me happy.
Pre dinner drinks at Nopi......mmmmmmm
Aubergine, goats cheese & pomegranate amazing mmmm
Sweet potato, caramelised onion & pine nuts. Gorgeous! My favorite had to be the pork belly and the most amazing dish is the beetroot cheese cake OMG I could have eaten about 3.....you have to try when you go.
The interior design and attention to details is fabulous and I must research as to who designed it. White with gold/brass accents makes for a beautiful fresh and luxurious feel. I loved the petal pendent lamp and the coat hangers in the entrance area (seen above- sorry for the slightly blurred photo) and the large brass circular food display table is beauty in itself let alone with the mouth watering food and fabulous splash of the oversized vase of flowers. A true feast for the eyes! I loved the attention to detail such as the gorgeous brass O napkin rings, oh so simple but oh so lovely! I want some!
Now I think you can always tell allot about a place by the toilets. And the toilets in this place are to die for. Poor Jude was so confused.com! It was like falling down the warren in Alice in wonderand. The photo doesn't do it justice at all but I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for you when you do do. As you walk in you are surrounded by four walls of beveled mirrors, floor to celing. The toilet doors are secret doors and your senses are just thrown completely off tilter, which makes for a fabulous toliet experience! If you don't go to this restaurant for the food (which is why it has such a good reputation and I would recommend it to anyone) you have to go for the toilets!!
So all in all it made for one happy Birthday Girl!
Night night
