"Few London pubs are as well-known as The French House in Soho: this place is a classic and the French food follows suit. While the downstairs of this drinking institution is still kept to just that, walk up the creaking 18th-century stairs and you’ll find a red-walled, yellow-lit dining room. This place is made for consumption. Specifically terrine, steak, coffee mousse and, of course, wine." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
