Special service at Christmas

With this article we would like to start writing about the importance of feeling pampered at restaurants. If you go out for dinner often maybe you already know where to go, what food to order and what wine to match, but still, it's so hard to get a trained maitre that advises and threats you well.

Some days ago a couple of our favourite SartorialBag writers went for a Xmas dinner in an italian restaurant. From entering the room, through listening to the menu, choosing the wine and tasting the free gifted second plate of pasta they were impressed by the kindness of the owner, even watching him cooking the chosen meat directly in the chimney in front of them. Amazing.

Adding to this there were only two more guests, the perfect ambient for a relaxed romantic night out.


What do we get out of this? That service is so important it can turn a good food moment into a fantastic experience.

Remember of this during the next 31st celebration, and, why not, during all the incoming 2011.
The SartorialBag wishes you the best for Christmas vacation and a happy new year!

Bespoke cachemere with Ballantyne

Bespoke suits, bespoke shoes, bespoke cachemere... This is what Ballantyne, leading brand in the precious wool products, used to propose years ago through the ‘Combine the uncombinable’ service at the Ballantyne Boutique in 153 New Bond Street in the heart of London’s Mayfair district.
Clients could ‘compose’ their own jumper using 1 ply or 2 ply cashmere yarns,`perfect for those who decide to indulge in the softness and preciousness of Scottish cashmere with the chance of adding a touch of personal ‘eccentricity’ by choosing the colours of the diamonds. Waiting for this luxury choice to be offered again, take a look at Ballantyne's limited edition in collaboration with Philippe Stark.

A cocktail a la carte, without la carte

A new concept of pampering is served at La Marmita, in Madrid. The bartender will not show any menu, just ask for your favourite cocktail or talk about your drink sensation of the moment, a special glass filled with fresh seasonal fruit and alcohol will be prepared only for you. It looks like whisky and maracuja is a hit. The real luxury is the time taken by the barman to explain how the drink is prepared and what's the best liquor association.
Enjoy it at: LA MARMITA, Calle Maudes, 37.
