Launch of Mondiall restaurant at the V&A Waterfront

Mondiall’s entrance

It has a good deck for sitting outside

The bar, with mojitos and other cocktails lined up

Lots of space on the large covered veranda with doors that open up onto the deck in front 
and to the terrace facing the bay

Double volumes and industrial decor, and a balcony area on the right
above the semi-open kitchen

View of the wine bar from the balcony above

Chef Oliver Cattermole

Canapés came fast and furious. 
These were crayfish Vietnamese rolls

Moroccan chickpeas on chiabata

Josh Roland helping to feed the guests

A good jazz and bongo band

Organised activity, with the chef directing in the sparkling kitchen

The sommelier does not have to climb that high,
these empty bottles are for display

Good design can be a mix of modern and traditional

A wall of back lit wine bottles is part of the design
