CLOSED: Duvet Lounge

Duvet gives diners a new reason to stay in bed! This sexy, bi-level “dining boudoir” features beds (and tables) that scream comfort and relaxation, but with an added luxury: upscale dining of Modern American cuisine with global influences.

Upon entering Duvet, patrons will at once find themselves amazed at the sheer size (over 20,000 square feet) and elegance of the space. Behind the Ice Bar is a striking 8x15-foot aquarium that houses over 100 exotic jellyfish. The main dining room houses 30 very large custom beds. Silky curtains frame the beds and discreetly placed drawers are available to stash shoes and purses.

Duvet is the brainchild of owner Sabina Belkin, a passionate young restaurateur and nightlife impresario. Designed by Andres Escobar (Cartier Boutique and Guess? store in Toronto) and Edward Belkin, Duvet features 30 customized “dining beds,” soft satin banquettes, frosted glass bars and seven intimate “bedrooms” that are available for the sexiest, most-talked about private parties.

The main dining room houses 30 custom beds—each of which is larger than a standard king size—overflow with soft, Italian-imported goose-down pillows in beige and gold that sit atop the crisp white 400-count sheets. Each bed is custom designed with French fabric and with a special foam mattress that molds to each person’s body as they recline into surprising dining comfort. Silky curtains frame the beds and discreetly placed drawers are available to stash shoes and purses. Customized slippers are also offered to guests. A large, frosted-glass “donut” tray resides in the center of the bed to support cocktails and water glasses with space for bottles of wine and champagne in the center. Rectangular trays can be used as placemats for extra dining comfort. For those who wish to watch the action from afar and dine in traditional fashion, the dining room offers banquette seating for up to 50 people. In true “home” style, Duvet boasts an 84-inch flat-screen plasma television and semi-circular stage that is available for after-hours entertainment.
