I can pretty much guarantee that if there's a cooking implement you've ever coveted or lost or even just wished existed - from onion goggles that thwart tears to sandwich makers designed for use with a campfire - they have it here. All gimmickry aside, they've also got all the top-quality name brand skillets and pots and pans, plus beautiful tableware and some intriguing and very-French sounding bottles of sauces and soups. There's also an assortment of plain and seasonal cookie cutters - a true happy discovery for me since I've gone to other kitchenware stores in London for, say, a snowflake cookie cutter, and come away empty-handed. To cap it all off, if you're still not sold... the store is beautiful and the service courteous and helpful. If you're in any way an aficionado of epicure, this is definitely worth a pilgrimage.

Downstairs you'll find dishes and dining ware along with speciality items, Bannetons for bread, preserving jars, cheese boards. They're all down there somewhere.

I've been coming here for years, and will continue to do so.
