The Buzz: London Pop-Up Restaurant
London Pop-Up Restaurant
The pop-up restaurant craze continues in London this month with the opening of Hel Yes! in North London’s Islington. From September 15th – October 3rd diners will be treated to chef Antto Melasniemi’s daily changing menu of traditional Finnish dishes, which include spruce cured beef, Karelian stew and liquorice crème brûlée. In keeping with Helsinki’s status as the World Design Capital, the industrial warehouse has been transformed into a contemporary design space with Aspen tree tables by Linda Bergroth and limited edition chairs by Alvar Aalto. The bar is open until 1am (Thursday to Saturday) and serves local beers and cinnamon-flavored vodkas.
