Blanchette, Soho

I really wanted to try somewhere new on this visit to London and so decided to ask Twitter where we should try. Well Twitter came up trumps, thanks to our friend Tom’s contacts.

What a great place! Tucked away in Soho, a small place with big personality.

We sat at the bar enjoyed a glass of wine and a selection of small plates of fantastic French food.

I loved the relaxed, yet vibrant feel of this place. The food was in many ways simple but packed a punch. Classic flavours in smaller dishes enabling us to try more. We will certainly be back. I mean who can resist a glass of wine with frites and bearnaise sauce!

Our dishes: 

Pork, duck and fig terrine

Sautéed tiger prawns with glazed shallots, parsley, garlic and Pernod. Warm marinated rare breed beef with charred peppers and aioli. Frites with bearnaise sauce.
