Juliskia is a Jewel


A lovely friend invited me to a lovely luncheon today at Stamford’s Juliskia, and it’s entirely blog-worthy. Primarily a purveyor of china, glass and linens with the unassuming slogan, “possibly the most beautiful tableware in the world,” Juliska also hosts a ridiculously charming café, displaying pastries and Pellegrino.

Crisp pale dinnerware against a deep turquoise backdrop was eye popping. A wall of brightly colored candies inspired both sentimentality and drool – it was only with a profound display of willpower that I left without an oversized lollipop. Who would have guessed that this space hosted an impressive tile fountain with fish darting through porcelain? I’m here to tell you that, in fact, it does, and this alluring little enclave is worth your attention.
