London Edition April 2024

Harkening back to the whiskey soaked Americana bars that were the fashion of 1920’s Paris, Le Magritte is a charming oasis of walnut panelled interiors and classic libations either shaken or stirred, and always strong. Located in the elegant Beaumont Hotel, the bar adjoins a lovely terrace overlooking the Brown Hart Gardens. A bit of trivia; it was where a certain luxury bag and small leather goods company that starts with an ‘M’ spent their Christmas party last year.

Opened in 2023 and already with a devoted following, the proprietors of Fink’s Café team up with the Head Chef formerly of St John Marylebone for this charming neighbourhood space. Specializing in seasonal fare, and served in a warm and elegant setting, the menu is prided on being highly-changeable to keep things fresh. One constant however is a standout; the sticky toffee apple cake.

Located in Hammersmith on the banks of the Thames, The River Café is known for being one of the most beautiful dining rooms in London, and the location of Métier’s Annual Holiday Dinner.

Celebrating over 60 years of contemporary sculpture, this dynamic exhibition features works from such luminaries as Tara Donovan, Franz West and Olaf Brzeski to name a few. Lauded for its expression of movement; the shapes undulate, cascade, and erupt, every piece is a tactile sensation in an era of increasingly disembodied and digitized encounters.

Described by Marcel Duchamp as producing work like a, ‘kaleidoscopic series of art experiences’ the Michael Werner gallery presents Women; Works on Paper, by Francis Picabia. Spanning the years from 1902 to 1950 and featuring over 40 drawings, subjects of which include lovers, icons of femininity, and friends to be stylized, the iconoclast artist who embraced, and then rejected, all styles and disciplines throughout his career, always remained steadfast in his interpretation of the female figure. On view until May 11th, and located just a stone’s throw from our Métier flagship, fyi.
