Kith founder and CEO Ronnie Fieg is opening his first independent restaurant, Ronnie’s, adjacent to the Kith London flagship on Regent Street.
The Mediterranean-inspired New York bistro, slated to launch on December 12th, was envisioned in collaboration with architect Ben Porto of Brooklyn-based Porto Architecture. It stands as an homage to New York, the city that shaped Fieg’s journey, while honoring the storied heritage of Regent Street.
Step into Ronnie’s through Kith
Upon entering from Regent Street or through the flagship’s ground floor, guests arrive in an elegant cocktail lounge outfitted with vintage-style barstools upholstered in red leather.
The energy shifts as the space leads into the main dining room, where dark wood-paneled walls frame family-style booths positioned beneath a gallery of black-and-white photographs celebrating Kith’s home city.
A takeaway café and outdoor seating area extend the experience beyond the dining room.
Luxe materials for the New York-style bistro
Materiality plays a starring role. In the front bar area, black-and-white patterned flooring sets a graphic foundation before transitioning to herringbone oak floors and a rich combination of wine-red Rosa Lepanto and white-veined marble in the dining room.
Fluted glass details and deep red velvet seating create intimate dining nooks, while brass accents trace the floating bar cabinet and outline the dining room’s sculptural archways. Ambient lighting is built seamlessly into recessed ceilings, accompanied by warm globe chandeliers and vertical glass wall sconces that cast a soft glow across the space.
