Here, old-world decor meets contemporary flair with a touch of the experimental. Mirrors, marble and chandeliers abound through both the European-style restaurant at street level and the hidden drinking den tucked below. Like the original, the latter is accessed through a bookshelf, though it’s swapped the soaring ceilings for an intimate den, scattered with lounges and vintage knick-knacks.
