If you want to sit outside and all the tables are full, ask the waiter to put you on the list. You'll be called to your outdoor table when it's ready and in the meantime enjoy a drink inside :)

This place is amazing! Food was just fantastic. We had the big selection for starter and then calve's liver and steak with frites as main. All perfect! Service was amazing ang Gabriel fabulous!

The MUSSELS are a must have! And get extra bread to soak the scrumptious broth up. Next I would recommend the medium-rare Filet Steak Frites with peppercorn sauce ! WInning!!!

Magdalena Welcz

One of the favourite spots for many years now! The staff is amazing and maybe you will be lucky enough to have dinner when the live music is played in bar area! cosy atmosphere , everything’s good

I love this place! The eggs Benedict for breakfast/brunch is the best around. Service can be slow however the surroundings and al fresco dining available make up for that.

Selina Skies

Gorgeous endive, walnut & Roquefort salad . Great coffee too. Love the Parisian deco. Really friendly staff .

Had a fabulous afternoon here, enjoying some beers outside - people are always so friendly often stopping to chat and we met some great characters. London and it's most random and sociable best!

Rib eye steak and mixed salad was a great combo! The bernaise was amazing!

It’s amazing how the French surly service can be replicated so effectively outside of France

I had the Coq au Vin . The Coq was a little on the small side but it still hit the spot. ;) Would recommend ordering a side dish too. Boyfriend had Steak Frites which was also yummy. Friendly staff .

Great place to people watch ! I was here at around 5.30pm on Saturday and there was great live music ! Atmospheric and worth a visit!

Tasty lunch with nice wine , pleasant staff and outside seating . A little pricey but understandable given the location.

Nice place to grab a drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic when passing through soho. Relatively expensive but their cocktails are impressive.

Essie S

Great place to enjoy a bottle of wine on a Friday night. Brunch is nice too.

Harriet Ruff

Shutting for refurb is the biggest tragedy. Superb expresso martinis and in fact cocktails at large.

Kevin Huber

Open late ! Pitchers of beer . Good second date spot
