Blixen Restaurant Spitalfields

About the venue

A new all-day brasserie named Blixen, from Village London founder Clive Watson, is set to open in Old Spitalfields Market in February 2015.

The informal, two-storey, 120-seat site will serve an all-day food menu, plus drinks and cocktails in its cocktail bar, and also feature an18-seat private finding room. First announced in September this year, the new site will take the place of the former Italian restaurant Sweet Basil. The emphasis will be on fresh, simple food and coffee, plus a small wine list, and a selection of yet-to-be-finalized original cocktails. The venture ‒ which is from the newly-founded Colonie Restaurants Group ‒ has been launched by restaurateur Clive Watson and his friend and business associate Justin Gilbert from Coriander Buildings.
