A boutique clothes shop may not be the obvious choice for a leisurely lunch or casual dinner, but eating & browsing merge seamlessly at Nicole Farhi’s west London concept store. Indeed, it’s hard to tell where the merchandise ends & the fixtures & fittings begin as you gaze at the gorgeous accessories & well-worn leather club chairs from your Parisian-style café table. Salads come in two sizes, & are packed with exotic ingredients from the Med & the Orient, but there are more substantial dishes on offer too, such as clam linguine or a Kobe beef burger. The fashion set drops by for brunch on the terrace out back, where French toast or kedgeree are served by staff who are at least as stylish as the clientele.
