Eat In A Flash

At the rate restaurants are shutting their doors these days, it probably makes sense to open one without the goal of keeping it in business. So it should be no surprise that London's buzziest new eatery isn't really a restaurant at all, but more of a pop-up art installation.

Flash is a three-month-only dining spot that recently opened in a room-within-a room, set inside the Royal Academy of Arts. It quickly became this winter's hottest lunch ticket.

From the team beyond ultra-hip non-restaurant Bistrotheque, Flash's lavish dining space is dominated by the 1,200-crystal "psychedelic Death Star" chandelier, which should give you an idea of the over-the-top atmosphere. Oh yeah, and there's food too: High-end plates like duck confit are washed down with cranberry-tequila drink concoctions.
