About Bianka
Some women fill a room by walking into it. Bianka fills it by sitting down. Put her at 165 cm, curvy, long light brown hair with ends the summer has left several shades lighter than the roots, and hazel eyes that read green under a warm bulb and amber under a cold one. She favours softer tailoring than the square mile usually sees, a wrap dress, a low heel she can genuinely walk in, and she never once looks as if she is enduring her own outfit.
The temperament is unhurried, which is the rarest commodity within a mile of the Bank junction. At 23 she listens the way older people do: no interrupting, no waiting with her own story loaded. In English she is warm and unhurried, and she repeats a name back once so that she never loses it. Food is the genuine enthusiasm. She can talk for ten minutes about why a kitchen serves a dish at one temperature rather than another, and she is very funny about restaurants that take themselves seriously.
Her City evening is usually Bread Street Kitchen at One New Change, three minutes from St Paul's and up on the terrace when the weather allows, because she likes the dome floodlit and the traffic noise held below the parapet. She books for 19:30, orders two starters instead of a main, and treats the walk down Watling Street afterwards as the best part. Knightsbridge is home, so she arrives by Central line with an hour of reading behind her and no complaints about the distance.
More on the square mile sits on the City of London page. Hours start at £250, with every longer format costed on rates. Tell booking which evening you have in mind.

Booking her evening
Dinner is where she is at her best, so the four hour format at £900 is the honest recommendation; two hours at £500 works when the table is already held. Tell the desk the restaurant or let Maude find one within a short walk of your hotel.
Her figures are the desk figures, printed in full on the rates page, and the whole arrangement runs in one thread from the first line to the confirmation.

An evening with Bianka
The pattern rarely changes because it works. A drink first, twenty minutes, somewhere with chairs you can sit back in, while she asks what your day actually contained. Then the short walk to the table she has already checked on, and an order she assembles out loud with the waiter, asking one question about the fish that turns out to be the right question. She eats properly and she is not shy about it. Conversation drifts from a market stall she rates to something you have been carrying around since Monday, and she does not flinch when the second one arrives. Dessert is shared or skipped without negotiation. On the way back she will stop under the dome for a moment, because after two years in this city it still does something to her, and then the evening goes wherever you have agreed it goes.
Bianka, in her own words
Two starters instead of a main?
Always. A kitchen shows its hand in the small plates, and I would rather taste twice than fill up once.
Do you mind the City on a quiet Sunday?
I prefer it. Half a million people leave on Friday and the streets become a village with very large buildings in it.
How far ahead should I ask?
The same day is often fine before about four in the afternoon. For a Friday table, two days is kinder to everyone.
Where she sits
What guests have written
Nothing is written here for Bianka yet, which is usually what discretion looks like in E14. A note appears only when a guest writes one, she agrees to it, and the desk has checked that it reads as a first name, a month and nothing private.
