Trying to keep on top of what Harrods is doing food-wise is a tricky task. They do have a tendency to just throw open the doors on a new project without telling anyone. So their latest pop-up was open a week before we got wind of it.

Following hard upon the heels of their amazingly successful Dior Cafe pop-up over Christmas, they've now launched a new pop-up space with Louis Vuitton. It's

Grab your handbags, Harrods is bringing the best of fashion and food together, with a gingerbread-themed Café Dior opening on its ground floor for a limited time.

The largest Moët & Chandon Champagne bar in Europe has just opened at Harrods. We pulled up a stool at the bar to check it out.

While you may not have been able to travel to the Middle East as easily as usual recently, you might have encountered on previous trips the restaurant group Em Sherif, in locations spanning Beirut, Kuwait, Doha, Dubai, Cairo and Damascus.

Now you won’t need to travel too far for a fix of Lebanese fine dining, as Em Sherif is opening its first European outlet (both a deli and a restaurant) at Harrods later this year.
