Think &lsquo;grand caf&eacute;&rsquo; and the image that immediately springs to mind is a decadent, smoke-filled place populated by coffee-drinking thinkers, writers and artists in 1930s Europe. Along with the brasserie, the grand caf&eacute; combines an opulent setting exclusively for the everyman. Z&eacute;del is such a place. Housed in a 1915 hotel off London&rsquo;s Piccadilly Circus, it was restored to its former grandeur and re-opened in 2012 with all the charm and distinction of Art Deco Paris.In this book, A. A. Gill explores the origins of the grand caf&eacute; and pays homage to the character of Z&eacute;del. Much more than just a restaurant, Z&eacute;del houses a bustling caf&eacute; leading to a sweeping marble staircase, at the bottom of which are the Crazy Coqs cabaret, the Bar Am&eacute;rican cocktail bar, and the magnificent brasserie itself.Forty iconic brasserie recipes are included in the book, such as Soupe &agrave; l&rsquo;oignon, Moules marini&egrave;res, Boeuf bourguignon, Profiteroles and Tarte au citron.Period photography and artwork help to capture the mood of this remarkable and fascinating venue.
