IMA

IMA means "mother" in Hebrew and in Arabic, and the concept follows from the word: one large shared table, dishes made to travel around it, the idea that you dine as if at home, except this home closes at five in the morning. The Levantine cooking is signed by Elie Fischmann, who came through Yannick Alléno and Paris Society: mezze to share, fish, slow-cooked shoulder of lamb. Service starts at seven, the DJ programme takes over, and the room tips without anyone having to change address. It is what I suggest when dinner has to become the evening.
