This is not the place to go if hungry, portion sizes were very small and made the place feel a bit pretentious. I had the belly pork and it came with bacon jam and some carrots, no carbs at all. Food was nice but not exceptional. Tables are quite close together, and that combined with the prices per portion gave us a feeling they were doing anything to maximise profits. Service was good. I think if they served the bread for free instead of charging then it would have softened the blow. Ultimately I wouldn’t go back.

Great food. Good service although server was a little rushed off his feet. Lovely ambience. Will definitely return and can recommend.

We had one night in London and landed on a reservation here (definitely get a reservation). The only con was that they probably needed one more server on, but everything else was perfect. The hostess was fantastic and accommodating when we got stuck in traffic and I heard her giving great descriptions of wine. The atmosphere is so cozy/romantic (some of the tables are quite close but not all). Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t get over the prices, was expecting a lot higher. Would definitely recommend for a date night or group of 4 out!

Nice small restaurant in Soho. The food was amazing mainly the best braised beef cheek I ever tasted and the honey cheese was great too. Special thanks to Lina who was nice and professional and suggested for me the food

We found this spot as we scooted around london and wanted to dine alfresco. The seabream and cured egg yolk tartare was a really perfect dish so while it’s on the menu please go get it! The duck was decent, with the skin glazed and roasted well. Seabass and heirloom tomatoes was a refreshingly tasty main. Good food, not spectacular, but enjoyable. I’d would say the best part was the delightful French brunette host that greeted and served us that evening. A real pleasure!

Went in for the lunch menu, and thought it was really worth the price and quality! The atmosphere is cute and rustic, the bread and butter was amazing (just too bad it was extra cost, unlike in France) and served warm. The mussels were very generous! Not all of the dishes were French, some were a bit more Italian inspired like the pea risotto or the Bhaji appetiser, but everything tasted delicious!

What a find, will be back. Wine, food, service, atmosphere - all on point. Not terribly expensive either. Went with friends and we all ordered different dishes to see how they came out - and every one was sublime. A good concept of ‘French tapas’ style dining that encourages sharing and tasting of the many flavours on offer. And it all tastes better after a bottle of Côtes du Rhône doesn’t it?
