那天我们约好在传说中世上第一间奢侈型的Boutique酒店， Blakes Hotel吃午饭，其实也是去一睹这间室内设计启发了无数后起设计师的传奇酒店。

说实在的，酒店里的餐厅，除非是餐厅本身有名气，好像Dorchester Hotel里的Alain Ducasse，不然我是不会给予太大期待。特别是好像Blakes这样以设计闻名的酒店，食物什么的，应该只是带过而已。

没想到呀没想到，午餐的所有菜式都远远超出了我们的期待。从面包（一个餐厅的好坏绝对可以以餐前面包来衡量），到时蔬沙拉，Burrata 奶酪，都新鲜嫩滑的让人难以抗拒！再接下来的主菜，我们三个人点的鸡胸肉，黑鳕鱼和Gnocchi，也都超出大多餐厅的水平。尤其是鸡胸肉，煎到外酥里嫩刚刚好，肉质也松软多汁，根本不像一般印象中的干柴无味。

那天我穿了全身的牛仔，在前面牛仔三套搭配里已经提到过，这边所有链接也又有提供了。朋友那天的全身加上首饰（首饰品牌真心很不错，值得一看），也都提供在全文最下面。至于她不肯出镜嘛，也都是因为酒足饭饱后脸红红的，太害羞了：）

至于酒店里的内饰，我没多放，因为：1. 我是写时尚的嘛，2.拍的真心不够好，不如看酒店自己的网站来的爽！（看图点这边）

Being the first luxury boutique hotel in the world, (the rather discreet yet high profile)Blakes hotel is no secret to Londoners. 

The hotel is designed with impeccable taste and draws inspiration from many places around the world. After more than three decades' establishment, the Blakes now serves as an inspiration for countless designers and spaces everywhere. I suggest a snoop around its gallery even it's not in your plan to visit any time soon. (But it will probably make it to one-of-the-places-you-want-to-visit-before-you-die list after seeing the pictures)

One must think about one's style when entering somewhere with style.

To be very honest, I didn't expect exceptional food from the hotel. Firstly, it was a "hotel". Secondly, we only hear things about its interior and design all the time, but rarely about the food. Hence I held no expectation, but I was wrong. The food were amazing. Freshly baked selection of breads, top quality seasonal vegetables, pasta and meat seasoned and cooked to perfection...everything was a pleasant surprise. I can safely say it beats majority of top high street & boutique restaurant out there you can find, and not too crazy in price either. Eating in the ever so dreamy courtyard on a sunny day, there's really no other experience to top this.

After lunch, of course we took our satisfied tummies out for a walk in the lovely area, shooting a few occasional pictures of each other . But clare refused to show her face because she was red from her beer...which didn't seem appropriate in the middle of the day. Oops!:)
