Who's behind it

Delphine comes from four hospitality veterans: Karim Amatullah, who spent more than 20 years in hospitality including front-of-house work at Cipriani; nightlife entrepreneur Lionel "KyKy" Conille; and Mino Habib and Mathias Van Leyden, who previously worked together on Loulou Petit Bistro & Speakeasy and Le Petit Village, according to What Now and Eater. The room mixes brass fixtures, distressed mirrors, dark red tones and curved furniture under a white-and-gold ceiling.
