Galvin Brothers announce launch date for Galvin La Chapelle and Café de Luxe

Galvin La Chapelle and Café de Luxe, the latest venture from the Galvin Brothers, will open its doors in Spital Square, London, on 18th November 2009.

The gastrodome will comprise Galvin La Chapelle, a fine dining restaurant, housed in the beautiful vaulted 19th century Grade II listed St Botolph's Hall; Café de Luxe, a contemporary all day cafe with outdoor seating leading on to Bishops Square, and an interconnecting aperitivo bar, serving light dishes from 5.30pm-7.00pm.

In Galvin La Chapelle there is a private area called 'the Gallery' which is located on the mezzanine and a Chef's table at floor level, visible through smoked glass sections leading directly onto 'the pass'. 

Chef Patrons Jeff and Chris Galvin, said: "We wanted to create a place which everyone in the area can call their own and feel at home any time of the day, but one that also could become the ultimate destination restaurant. 

"It's been a lot of hard work transforming this empty space from the shell we entered a couple of years ago to the magnificent restaurant we have today, but we are absolutely delighted with the results. We are bringing a little of what we have created in the West End to the East End and we can't wait to open our doors and welcome people in."
