Grain Store

Returning to London after eight years living and working in Brisbane, Australia, Bruno Loubet brought his distinctive modern bistrot food to one of London’s leading boutique hotels, with great success. Grain Store explores a different side to Bruno’s skill and creativity. There are no geographical boundaries to the influences that have inspired the eclectic menu – they are a culmination of Bruno’s extensive travels and the years dedicated to his beloved vegetable patch. Although many dishes have a meat or fish element, this menu gives vegetables equal billing, if not the starring role. Fermented, sprouting, pickled and smoked ingredients feature alongside the fresh and the seasonal. Flavour above all else is king. The interiors, created by the acclaimed Russell Sage, are designed around the idea of the exploded kitchen. The interior is fully flexible, blurring the lines between kitchen and dining room, with elements of the cooking process spilling over to the table.
