This only existed for a few years, '87/'89?
The food was exquisite, but did, like all fancy dolly food of the time, leave you wanting to go the chippy on the way home.
I was living in London, so was used to eating gold leafed Nasturtiums, and probably only went there once, when I was up visiting, but the name eludes me.
On a side note, nouvelle cuisine was an extreme of it's time, but it did make people realise that you eat with your eyes, as well as your mouth. Nowadays we've moved on, and want good quality ingredients, reasonably price, and well presented. So the eighties fripperies did serve a purpose.
