Bar Levan
Today, I’m excited to chat with Mark Gurney and Matt Bushnell, the co-founders of Levan and Bar Levan in Peckham. Their journey is one of remarkable transformation—before venturing into the world of hospitality, Mark honed his skills in music and marketing, while Matt also dabbled in the corporate world as an environmental consultant. Now, they've turned their passions toward their love of the French gastronomic experience; creating spaces with exceptional French-inspired cuisine and making the lesser-known (but delicious!) wines of the Jura region more accessible to everyone.
Curious about the inspiration behind the name "Levan"? We’ll explore that along with a few of their favourite food and drink spots across London and insights on how they plan and decide the themes for their events. What do they believe is the secret to a successful business? Bums on seats! As a North/East Londoner join me as I get to know the delights south of the river.
I’m Stella, and I’m gonna take you out for dinner.
