Why We Can't Wait For Keith McNally's Balthazar To Open In London

Keith McNally "The Restauranteur who invented Downtown"

The London-born restauranteur opened up the original Balthazar in 1997 on Spring Street. Fast forward 16 years; the restaurant has become one of the area's staple destinations, and Keith has gone on to dip his hands in other projects, opening up local hotspots like Pastis, Pulino's, and Minetta Tavern.
