Elemis Day Spa (Spa)
21 April 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Elemis. The staff are professional, discreet and friendly. The products are a bit on the expensive side, even for London, but overall I find them very good. The place is clean, nicely refurbished and tucked away in a lovely court off New Bond Street. Make a day of it - go for your solo treatment in the morning, and have a leisurely lunch in one of the restaurants on Lancashire Court.

La Fromagerie (Cheese Shop)
20 April 2009

Cheese selection and organic produce absolute heaven, staff absolute hell. The staff member who served us is British, and spoke perfect English, but had combination of contempt, irritation and exhaustion in his demeanour. Seemed upset that we learned about the cheese we're looking for via dinner at restaurant Pied-à-Terre. Claimed he isn't aware of the cheese and offered us an alternative. Then got all 'superior' when I asked if he can vacuum-seal the cheese we're buying ("We don't believe in vacuum sealing", etc...)

Oh well. Maybe this store is unique in its contempt for its customers, and takes every opportunity to 'put them in their place' if they think a customer doesn't know anything about cheese.
