In the refurbished Grade II listed Holborn Town Hall, Gezellig Restaurant and Bar is a wine focused drinking den with a classic European menu. It started with a stint at Carousel and now chef Graham Long, sommelier Wieteke Teppema and general manager James Comyn have joined up with restaurateur Rebecca Mascarenhas (co-owner with chef Philip Howard of Elystan Street, Kitchen W8 and Sonny's Kitchen) to create this restaurant in the former town hall. Sirloin of aged beef with marrow and roast cod loin are just two examples from the menu. Interiors feature tan leather banquettes, moss green walls and wingback chairs, walnut tables and hardwood flooring over two floors. Up on the mezzanine level, there's a bar where drinks and snacks are best enjoyed from the comfort of a Chesterfield chair . Two private dining rooms on the ground floor - The Study seating 10 and The Library for up to 16 - can be hired with no minimum spend and bespoke feasting menus available on request. It all ties in well with the name - a Dutch word which translates as 'an atmosphere, which allows good times to happen'.
