Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Opera Terrace was recently refurbished, its large conservatory painted turquoise and hung with tent-like turquoise drapes to block out the sun: in fact, it's not unlike drowning in the Pacific. The bar, where the outside terrace is at its narrowest, is extremely loud and pretty crowded indoors; a contrast which makes the peace of the restaurant seem positively sepulchral.
The terrace, though, is the real point: providing a perfect spot for leaning over the balustrade and sneering at the people below. This is a good-natured bar, but you'll need not to be feeling misanthropic to enjoy it there in the evening.
