      <description><![CDATA[The team behind the Prince Arthur pub in Belgravia is set to launch an American-French bistro within the nearby The Lowndes London hotel early next month. Avi is billed as a bold new concept that blends influences from both countries, offering “a refined take on nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dishes” with premium twists.
The 45-cover space will lean into a classic French bistro aesthetic, featuring rustic wicker chairs, white tablecloths and intimate, low lighting.
The kitchen is headed up by Joshua Conte, whose CV includes The Boathouse in Henley, The Crown at Bray (when it was part of Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant group), Chiltern Firehouse and The Dorchester.]]></description>
