What's the draw
Classic Michelin-star French fine dining in the heart of Soho. Small, intimate setting; big, bold flavours; gloriously artful presentation.
What to drink
Unless you're a wine buff, ask – sommelier Mathieu Germond prides himself on his unconventional pairings. We had, among others, a Uruguayan marselan and an Austrian grüner veltliner.
What to eat
The tasting menu is the definition of 'rude not to'. We went for eight courses – standouts were seared mackerel with cucumber and cous cous, pork loin with anchovy, and asparagus with quail's egg.
