The Scene:

Located within the Opus Montreal, the space doesn't feel like an ordinary hotel restaurant with its bourgie design of black and white décor that puts a modern spin on art nouveau architecture. Koko incorporates blue-blood design elements like Moooi's burnt Chippendales and signature horse lamp with tulip-shaped chairs in the grand salon and a separate outdoor terrace open for summertime dining. After dinner revelers flock to the adjoining lounge with its cushy banquettes upholstered in oriental-inspired fabrics and chintz pillows. The crowd is a collection of socially strategic hipsters that dine at 9pm and linger till the wee-hours of morning grooving to DJs spinning Kings of Leon and MGMT.
