What’s the Curbappeal?
- An uber-hip all-day diner within The Parker hotel
- Designed by famous US-stylist Jonathan Adler whose motto is 'colours
can't clash'- a point beautifully illustrated around the diner and the hotel: it’s
a divinely-done temple to kitschy-camp mid-century interior design.
- Inside – the brown leather chairs and booths work with the white-washed
exposed brick walls to create a calming environment. Set outside is a chic
patio with a colourful orange, red and white canopy with hanging white Chinese-style
lanterns. Sat here, you overlook the large lush gardens of the Parker hotel -
well worth a stroll after indulging in Norma’s delights…
- The menu focuses on indulgent comfort food. Come hungry to appreciate
the generous but delicious portions!
- Even after a fantastic ‘Norma’s Eggs Benedict’, the 'Norma's doughnuts' (filled
with lemon custard or blueberry jam) were just too hard to resist: soft and fluffy
with a generous gooey filling. Mmmm! I also tried ‘McCann’s Irish Oatmeal Brûlée
with Sautéed Green Apples and Red Pears’: sweet sautéed fruits and just the
right amount of ‘Brûlée’ topping, heavenly.
- If you want to spoil yourself, there are some truly decadent dishes. Ones
that caught my eye include ‘Seared Rock Lobster and Asparagus Omelette’, ‘Foie
Gras Brioche French Toast With Asparagus and Mushrooms’ and ‘The Zillion Dollar
Lobster Frittata with 10 oz. Sevruga Caviar’. It’s not your normal kind of
diner…
….perfect for a long, lazy and indulgent brunch
It’s on my shortlist for Curbappeal’s ‘Most Fabulous’ 2013 awards: ‘Most
Fabulously Uplifting Hotel Diner’
