Sexy Fish

The last two consecutive Friday lunchtimes I've found myself enjoying the splendour that is the latest addition in the Caprice Holdings (Ivy, Scott’s, J Sheekey, Le Caprice), a restaurant called Sexy Fish.

Forget Chiltern Firehouse, I'm telling you, this place is the shizz, it's got the WOW factor!

They must have spent an absolute fortune as the interior is stunning and the artwork very expensive (bronze mermaids by Damien Hirst, a huge live coral reef tank and lamps by Frank Gehry), a massive crocodile on the dining room wall, and the location in the old NatWest bank on Berkeley Square in Mayfair could not have been better.

I had the Madagascan prawn and yellowfin tuna with hubby (during our traditional Christmas 'child free long boozy lunch'). With the girls the following week I indulged in the Sexy Fish Roll and tempura prawns. All very delicious although not mind blowing. But then again, who cares when it's the best people watching spot in central London and the crowd, well, they are simply sexy :-)

We've arrived!

and love is in the air :-)  Time for some real R n'R ( rest and relaxation) xxx

Sunday in Dalston

On Sunday we drove to the impossibly hip and up and coming area of Dalston/Hackney, where my brother resides these days.
We had lunch at a place which is only accessible from the Regent's Canal towpath, and where ducks, passing cyclists and dog-walkers are excellent entertainment (especially as one guy and his Boris bike had an accident which resulted in him falling in the water right next to us!)  
After lunch we strolled over to the Swedish bakery Fabrique for coffee with delicious cinnamon and cardamon buns. Us Swedes really do seem to get everywhere, LOL!

Sunday barbecue

What better way to spend the hottest day of the year eating, drinking wine and chatting away with good friends in their beautifully manicured garden, whilst watching the kids play? 

Date night

In the 'Screen on Baker Street' cinema with hubby, about to watch Richard Gere in new movie Arbitrage.
Thanks to my lil brother Erik, who's combining studying for his medical school final exam, with baby sitting for his adoring nephew :-)

Happy Valentine's

 

Hubby spiced up my day with a ring, one hundred red roses and perfume :-)


What a grand thing to be loved! Better still, what a grander thing to love, isn't it? 

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
