Designed to look like a Victorian conservatory hidden in a
secret garden, it resembled a barn to me rather than an elegant greenhouse. I visited yesterday when the rain-soaked, steel-
coloured sky seemed to be hanging low,
just above our heads. The retractable roof was firmly in place, making the
space look rather restricted and a bit claustrophobic. The interior is narrow,
as a vast space is taken by a long bar, and counter dining area.
A pet project of Des McDonald who previously ran Caring’s
Caprice Holdings — owner of The Ivy, J Sheekey and Scott’s — Q`s menu looks promising,
especially light breakfasts, and summer-deserts packed with the latest It
ingredients.
There is also a small-ish terrace open to the weather
elements - I took the photo when it was raining. Views are only restricted to
the rooftops of Mayfair, and the most `exciting` landmark is a flag on top of the
American embassy. They assured me however that in a good weather you can see
the Shard, to the East.
There is a dedicated lift - operated by a fabulous-looking PR
girl - that will take you from the ground floor (it stops by Chanel fragrances`
counter) to the rooftop.
The Q is part of the annual project called `On The Roof with….`
and I will need to come back when it is sunny to see the venue in its full glory.
