STATUS
Built
YEAR
2021
This significant renovation transforms a tired restaurant to create a new, vibrant, modern dining experience dedicated to a full nose-to-tail experience. In addition to the over 120 seats on the ground floor, a basement lounge, cantina, and meeting room offer flexibility for private events and additional seating. Much of the original woodwork, inspired by wooden sailing ships, was retained from the long time Portuguese restaurant.
The innovative fusion of Old World and modern Hamilton aesthetics has playfully dubbed the new design as "Creepy, Luxe Pirate Ship". Inspired by the iconic 1989 film noir 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover', designed by Jean-Paul Gauthier, this concept has revolutionized restaurant design with its daring approach.
The custom bar is a focal point of the main dining area, with its rounded conversation area for flaneurs, dramatically veined ‘Jade stone’ marble cladding and wood veneer with zebrawood accents. The asymmetrically sculptured three-dimensional shelving forming the back bar a space divider, architectural feature, and liquor display / storage rack. Feature niches suspended within the shelving hold art and special liquors and animate the shelving. A rolling ladder allows staff access to the racking extending to the ceiling.
The custom hostess desk allows for a warm welcome, and its adjacent phone booth provides a unique amenity for customers.
Generous and varied booth designs provide relaxed, highly desirable seating options.
• Two-seat ‘date night’ booths are semi-enclosed for intimacy, while curtained, high back four seat booths have the allure of a private room.
• Larger upholstered ‘Power Tables’ with bold marble tops are half round and placed for those who must ‘see and be seen’ at the centre of the room.
The bar walls are painted dark to bring to life the wall of paintings, inspired by the famed Bar des Templiers in Coillioure, France, where Impressionist artists traded paintings for room and board. Washrooms are individual colour coded rooms, with a shared sink featuring faucets by Phillippe Starck.
A multi-colour chevron tile floor, screens with cast botanical resin panels, and unique carpet tile floor areas lend warmth and character to the space.
A continuous mirrored band floats over a long curtain wall in the main dining room, allowing furtive glances and reflecting diners.
