Description:
Founded in 2005, this eatery brought the bistrots modernes philosophy to London, where it's now quite hip. Chef brothers Chris and Jeff Galvin, one of whom held a Michelin-star, crafted a menu both affordable and sublime. Many dishes run in a traditional Gallic vein, such as soft-boiled gull eggs with celery salt and mustard cress, grilled blue-fin tuna with piperade and roasted artichokes, and a sweet soufflé of Gariguette strawberries. A refined, though friendly, crowd and pleasant, understated ambience further add to the appeal. TUBE: Baker Street
