As you might expect from the eaterie occupying space opposite Gucci in the Superbrands section of Selfridges, glass and steel Obika is something of a looker. It serves food - and wine that comes care of Liberty Wines, one of the top Italian wine importers to the UK. Crucially, the 'bar' overlooks the catwalk of shoppers, providing some pleasurably fashionable entertainment for solitary lunchers.
Dave did:
Well we struggled to find the bar overlooking a catwalk, but over a nice glass one wine (a liquid lunch if you will), my parents and I watched on as the 'overly feminate' Gucci male staff (as eloquently described by my dear mother) faff about with some horrible looking, yet very expensive bags (I'm not one for fashion!).
We also noticed another female shopper choose to go to the changing room to try on a new belt!?!
To top it off, 'pushy mother' came to the fore once more, and demanded that our waiter sign my 1000 Things book. The poor guy didn't have a clue what was going on and wasn't sure whether to put his own name or some sort of alias! In the end he signed it and quickly made an exit. His name's Ricardo by the way!
38 down...962 Things to go!
