Few things feel more quintessentially London than dining steps away from the Royal Opera House on a random Wednesday evening. With its Covent Garden location, Twenty8 NoMad, the recently revamped, dazzling bistro of five-star luxury hotel NoMad London, makes for a cinematic meet-cute.
I have only just rewatched the Oscar-winning 1988 romantic comedy Moonstruck when I visit the New York City-inspired London restaurant with a friend. While we are far less elegant than the movie's protagonists, Nicolas Cage and Cher in that iconic Metropolitan Opera House scene, when we meet at 28 Bow Street at 7:30 PM, dressed-to-the-nines theater-goers rushing to their seats, we can't help but feel a little chic.
