When new restaurants open, sometimes there’s a whiff of terror about them. They want to get everything right - understandably - so the anxiety levels are elevated. Often, those frantic vibrations can work their way through to the people eating and the result is… not great.
Not so at Climat. It’s been open just a few weeks, and while it’s not usually fair to pass unsolicited judgement on somewhere before it’s properly hit its stride, this place already feels relaxed and confident. And not the swaggery, conceited, undeserved type of confidence either. The quiet, impressive kind.
Maybe it’s the view. If I had a view like that, I’d be pretty confident too. It’s not so high as to be aloof, but just high enough to feel like you’re in amongst it. Part of the city, not just looking down on it.
