Hutong at The Shard, Southwark, London - 26 June
Aqua Restaurant Group was founded by Singaporean-born British lawyer David Yeo who kindly sat down with BigHospitality for a video interview and gave us an exclusive tour of Hutong ahead of the restaurant's launch.
Yeo, who designs all his restaurants personally, revealed the thought process behind the Hutong design:
"Every designer will have their own take on it - mine is simply to pay homage to the views and don't compete with them as they are really beautiful. The views can only take you so far though. Diners won't keep coming back for the views alone, what will keep people coming back is the food and service."
