Viet Hoa Mess

We are getting healthier and living longer. We recognised this trend and the eco-friendliness of the hospitality services. Thus we have created a new restaurant situated underground called, VIET HOA MESS. While this might sound like naughty Sunday morning in a Saigon brothel, this Shoreditch restaurant is far and away a much classier affair. Viet Hoa Mess is a cool, cavernous BBQ temple located underneath its more casual sister café. The connection of the two restaurants is marked by the main 5 meter feature stone wall, and leads from the ground floor to the new underground restaurant. The overall impression is of two buildings that are rubbing past each other. The new, 78 seating capacity Mess dining room will come with individual infrared light grill stations on medea stone tables with concrete bases. Surrounded by sedimentary stone walls, the Mess is cocooned by lights that break down from the ceiling into deep lava-shaped columns. The concept of the Mess restaurant is a marriage of the gothic with the classical (a temple-like form to the ground floor cafe, where heart-oak walls reflect deep Vietnam's landscape). The concept puts state-of-the-art infrared grilling stations on every table for some DIY dining, even when the weather isn’t for a barbie outside – which, let’s face it, in England is most of the time.
