San Lorenzo (restaurant)

• … that Jonathan Meades described the patrons of San Lorenzo as “Arms dealers, horizontals, rock legends, educationally subnormal royals, ladies who lunch, rag trade morons, ladies who shop, actors [and] supermodels”?

• ALT1: … that A. A. Gill saw “poseurs, pimps, phoney counts, lounge lizards, poodle fakers, ageing gigolos and remittance men” at San Lorenzo? Source: “Where the smart money is” 1 November 1998, The Sunday Times “But in San Lorenzo, you get suckered, and then led into the dining room to view the collection of poseurs, pimps, phoney counts, lounge lizards, poodle fakers, ageing gigolos and remittance men who have all been bussed ahead of you. And it makes you feel faint with queasiness”

• Newly expanded, long enough, and well-written. Only hits on the copyvio detector are direct quotes. Both potential hooks are properly cited, short enough, and interesting. QPQ (2x) has been done. Good to go. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:21, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

  No Swan So Fine Pi.1415926535 Can you provide an accessible link for the sources that aren’t the Wikipedia Library? HurricaneZeta^C 01:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

FYI, ALT0 fails WP:DYK200 unless it can be shortened. There is a ProQuest link for ALT1 (but the gale link, which doesn’t work, is cited in the article), but it doesn’t have the full text. Additionally, a more accessible link for ALT0 would help as well. HurricaneZeta^C 01:33, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

@No Swan So Fine, HurricaneZeta, and Pi.1415926535: Maybe we can move away from a quote hook entirely? I’m surprised that no hook about the Princess Diana angle was proposed. Why not go with that instead?

ALT3 … that the Italian restaurant San Lorenzo was a favourite of Diana, Princess of Wales?

ALT4 … that San Lorenzo was one of Diana, Princess of Wales‘s favourite restaurants?

I’m not sure if the hook should say “Diana, Princess of Wales” or “Princess Diana”, but either way, this seems more interesting than either quote hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:43, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
