Randomness Guide to London Menu

A tiny French-themed pub and dining room in Soho.

The pub downstairs is indeed exceedingly small, with a few little tables in an alcove to the left of the bar, some high tables opposite it, and stools around the walls. It's very much not a place to meet groups of friends. However, the clientele have definite character, and seem to embody a lost side of Soho: it continues to feel like a locals' pub and its walls are decorated with vintage images of French actors.

The bar itself has no handpulls, and only a couple of draught lagers (including Kronenbourg), served only in halves: it is a point of pride that they do not offer pint glasses. This focuses the menu more on the wine offering, which is fairly extensive; the house wine is priced reasonably.

There is a restaurant upstairs which focuses, as one might expect, on French food, though our contributors haven't tried it. They do not take bookings, however, according to the website.
