A restoration has returned Quaglino's Art Deco framework and famous staircase to full order, while a new menu follows founder Giovanni Quaglino's journey from Piedmont to Cannes by way of The Savoy. A champagne bar, a seafood counter, a dessert bar styled on a Cannes tabac and a new stage for cabaret complete the picture, and a Ten Pound Plates daytime offer keeps the venue's founding idea of accessible glamour in place.
