The Most Classic Restaurants In London

"Fondly referred to as ‘The French’ by regulars, novelists, and those who’ve watched one too many Guy Ritchie films, the Soho boozer's devious upstairs dining room isn’t just a historical inclusion. The no-mobile-phones rule and famous patrons, both literary and legless, add a little glitz, but everything about The French House is fantastic. Whether you’re sinking cidres downstairs or settling in upstairs on a Thursday—their imperious steak et frites day—you always feel a part of something a little secret (and potentially sordid)." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
