What is surely more galling is how good Amazonico is. The food, the service, the drinks: the whole lush jungle is just fabulous.

But to enjoy it, for God’s sake follow me. Once you’ve got past the door, the coat attendants and the front desk, have a drink at the large, swanky bar by all means, but don’t stay and eat in this bit; the lounge comes with a DJ, thumping music and goofs pouting at themselves for Insta-selfies.

Walk on by, past the kitchen and massed ranks of staff, round to the right and through to the rainforest that is the actual restaurant. Here the atmosphere calms, there’s a live jazz band and even though it’s vast you can settle into a table, each one flanked by bubbling jars stacked high to the ceiling, and feel intimate, comfortable and in acoustic heaven.
