Dinner in Madrid at Bazaar
Since I discovered Spanish interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, in AD magazine (issue of march 2009),
I want to see all the places prettily dressed up by him and his team Contemporain Studio
Bazaar in Madrid is in the trendy gay district of Chueca.
I like its immaculate ambiance, the soft lighting and the neat bazaar look with its orderly shelves and rows of packages.
I got immediately told by a waiter that sorry, but no photo allowed
what a shame....
in fact, I was so tempted to take a picture of some of the packagings
I have a weakness for packaging and a really good aesthetic tag !
Now about our meal, food was good but our dinner there would have been
more pleasant if the staff could smile from time to time
I wish somebody would explain to me
why in some trendy places waiters feel obliged to look sullen and be unpleasant ?

I even managed to make our waitress smile
while ordering dessert, with my stupid questions
We were placed downstairs where I could have a closer look at the items on the shelves.
so clean...
do they dust them every day ?

I will be in Paris until the 11th so email me and we can set up a time to meet for a drink..........I must meet the other person in the world that adores "packaging" as much as me. This is great news! XO
i hate it when you have unhappy waiters, it's such a pill
And mean waiters suck!

I love the use of storage as decoration....it really does look wonderful.
I bet you made the waitress smile.
In New York the waitstaff are sometimes TOO friendly.
Hope your summer has been a delight.
love from New York.
Mais je vois que tout de même tu ne t'es pas laissée faire.
La nourriture était elle à la hauteur du décor?
