Galvin La Chapelle set for opening
London-based restauranteurs, the Galvin Brothers, are set to launch their latest venture - Galvin La Chapelle and Café de Luxe - at the capital's Spital Square on 18 November.
The new venture includes the Galvin La Chapelle restaurant, which is housed within the converted 19th century, Grade II-listed St Botolph's Hall dating back to the 19th century and boasting 30m (98.4ft)-high ceilings. Meanwhile, Café de Luxe will act as an all-day café and bar, with a 6m (19.7ft)-long pewter bar originally commissioned by Sir Terence Conran for the Aurora restaurant at the Great Eastern Hotel, as well as outdoor seating opening onto Bishop's Square.
Jeff and Chris Galvin said: "We wanted to create a place which everyone in the area can call their own and feel at home any time of the day, but one that also could become the ultimate destination restaurant. "We are bringing a little of what we have created in the West End to the East End and we can't wait to open our doors and welcome people in."
