Elysee Launch.. Fantastically Social.












Thursday Night Invitation…Louise – Wonderful!


The Restaurant is called Elysee Restaurant (Greek Food).
The address is:
13 Percy St,Camden Town, UK W1T 2
020 7636 4804

Closest Tube is Goodge Street or Tottenham Court Road.

My glamourous companion Amanda Y who knew the old place well joins me for our post work adventure, she is greek, speaks greek and oozes chanel laced charm.
The ambience and class hits us from the cab, the place is classy immaculate from reception to restaurant. The refurbished upstairs has a feel of the Ivy or Wentworth, tasteful in every way duck egg blue, discreet paint effects, wall adorned with quirky modern art including a chandelier of smashed plates. The outside roof garden space upstairs is a haven for smokers, heaters and candles, so husband if you are reading we will be revisiting.

Downstairs an amazing Jazz band plays I am told they have live jazz every night until 10pm. They are going to attract the new jazz factor youngsters like, Kiki Bagger, Katie Dalton and Felicity Robertson who like the refurb bring a new era of Jazz to Percy Street. http://youtu.be/IaJm_05tKP8

Well known photographer Petros Pentayiotis is snapping a model who is draping herself over the cream leather chaise, I apply my super gloss in preparation for a photo and Archbishop Grigorious arrives to bless the venture everyone is kissing his hand. Oh my god I almost inhaled my dior lipgloss not wanting to leave a pout print on his sacred paw.


The charming Kyriacos Pattihis tells us of royal liaisons, celebrity stag nights, the tycoons and princes who have frequented Elysee over the years. You can still smash plates , this was fabulous after work therapy, smash, crash, bang better than any yoga class.
I highly recommend a visit, the charm is effusive. They have an amazing offer that involves the a rather generous amount of free prosceco with every main course.
