A new French bistro has opened at the former premises of a top-rated Indian restaurant in Easton. The Baffled King has taken over from Pipal Tree on Chelsea Road after the curry house closed in February this year.
New owners Campbell Craig, a university professor and Howard Brewer, a builder and entrepreneur, are neighbours in Easton and have spent the prior two months renovating the restaurant. The Baffled King, named after Leonard Cohen's song 'Hallelujah', hopes to bring a dining experience that combines culinary excellence with a genuine neighbourhood feel.
Co-owner Campbell said: "There's never been a restaurant like this in Easton as long as I've lived here. Another thing we are going for is that we are serving with a very small menu and everything is done very precisely."
