| Alexandrie restaurant promotional card. |
I discovered the other day that a restaurant previously called Aladino's has changed its name to Alexandrie.
The restaurant explains its transformation: 'Unique in London, Alexandrie's stylish restaurant in Kensington offers its brand of fine Alexandrian cuisine, conveying the marriage of flavours by the most cosmopolitan city from antiquity to recent times'.
Cosmopolitan as recently as 1953 when you might see Sophia Loren hanging out a window overlooking the Corniche. That was the year she was in Egypt filming Aida in which she played the title role.
As long as the restaurant remains as out of date as this photograph it should do well.
