Quaglino's is a London institution. It's been in St James in Mayfair since 1929, that's 85 years! In that time it's seen countless famous faces pass through it's doors - Judy Garland even had her wedding reception there! Last year we took my Grandma there for her 80th birthday dinner, after all, it seemed fitting seeing as the restaurant is older than she is, and this summer, Quag's had a £3millon refurbishment, so last week I went to check it out with Claire to see what was new.
We descended down the sweeping staircase, and were seated in the vast subterranean restaurant. I instantly noticed that it seemed classier...fresher...this place means business. It used to feel glamorous and classy, but you could see that the furniture was a little tired and it desperately needed a 'freshen up', now though, it's back with a bang. We started with cocktails, and nibbled on the warm fresh crusty bread while perusing the menu. I had the 'Fresh as a Daisy', it was deliciously refreshing!
