"If you’ve got a kink for being addressed as ‘sir’ or ‘madam’ over breakfast, then chances are you’ll like Café François. The little sibling of our perennial circumflex crush, Maison François, this all-day Borough Yards brasserie is all about eating reliably tasty French food in the presence of monogrammed napkins, and enough comté to make you forget the queues you witnessed in Borough Market. Come for a brunch that feels special enough for a French 75 toast or for dinner with a gaggle of friends in the mood for pistachio macarons." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
