"The French House is guaranteed to be rammed pretty much every night of the week and though that can be a little annoying if you’re arriving after 6pm, it’s kind of what this whole institution is about. Drinkers are still seated on a first come first served basis but this is Soho’s oldest old school spot - so expect a number of gregarious regulars to have set up shop from midday sharp. Wine and champagne are, as they should be, the drinks of choice." - jake missing
