Kronenhall

Description: Legendary restaurant and bar with a history (and art collection) as storied as the Louvre. Great writers and composers and dancers, among them Strauss and Brecht and Joyce and Nureyev have whiled away the hours here, while work by Picasso, Miro, Chagall and Matisse is on display in the halls. Over the years the clientele has been drawn less to the unfussy European food as to the venerable atmosphere and intellectual chat. The banquet hall is grand enough but we most like the Art Deco bar, with its curved wood ceilings and walls - a work of art in itself. The curved green banquettes are great for sitting and sipping a glass of wine at, and look out for the ornate brass lamps designed by the Giacometti brothers. Need we say more?
