Summary

“Another delicately balanced triumph from the clever people who bought you Clipstone, the Quality Chop House and Portland” – William Lander & Daniel Morgenthau’s “great addition to the London restaurant scene” in Fitzrovia has instantly become one of the Top-50 most commented-on restaurants in our annual diners’ poll; and is also one of the best. As with its siblings, the whole approach is all quite “restrained” and “grown-up”.“Simply pitch-perfect seasonal French food” from chef Stuart Andrew (“akin to a slightly lighter version of traditional Lyon dishes, beautifully executed for the London/international clientele who might find the original a bit heavy going”) is offered alongside a “strong wine list”, with “enough variety and novelty to keep everyone interested”. “All this is overlaid with superb staff who are casual but on-point, with the cheerful enthusiasm of happy, knowledgeable people serving happy, knowledgeable customers”. There’s the odd query as to whether the room is a little too crowded, but most diners feel it’s a “very classy and clubby space that’s excellent for a romantic dinner, a business meeting, or a night out with friends”. Top Menu Tip – “the snail bon bons are a superb pre-starter – they melt in the mouth”; “excellent duck – perfectly pink and very tender”.
