Where To Take Your Friend Who's Going Through A Break-Up - London - The Infatuation

"Therapy is expensive. Park Chinois is also expensive. But Park Chinois also has acrobats and a delightful peking duck. It’s an easy choice really. This Chinese clubstaurant in Berkeley Square is a Lynchian meets Butlin’s fever dream. It’s all red velvet, gold accents, and crooning live jazz on stage. While it’s by no means a top-quality culinary experience, that’s not always what you need in the midst of a break-up. You need distractions, you need black truffle dumplings, and you need absolutely no one to ask if you are OK. So even though the atmosphere here is less Frank Sinatra and more Frankie & Benny’s, we have a feeling that this is exactly what a £120 an hour therapist would have prescribed. Well probably not, but that’s OK." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
