Great little French bistro in shepherds market area, Mayfair. It had a real Parisian feel in a great location. The food is tasty, classic French dishes down well. Not bad prices for Mayfair too. A good wine list and friendly service made for a fantastic lunch.

Lovely, delicious and cozy! Tiny French restaurant in Shepards Market. The food was outstanding. And the service was friendly and efficient. The creme Brulee was a particular favorite. We will be back!
A lovely French bistro in Shepherd Market, in Mayfair, close to Green Park station. My friend and I shared escargots (snails) as a starter, moules frites (mussels and French fries) as a main, and a cheese platter. We also had dessert (I had the chocolate mousse) and a glass of wine each. We paid approx. ÂŁ50 per person.
