Where To Go When You Need A ‘Great Little Place’

"Remember that place you stumbled upon in Lyon several years ago? The one that still makes you a little misty-eyed whenever you think about the quaint tablecloths? Well, despite being on a main road in Farringdon, La Petite Ferme has exactly that feel. Yes, the plants are fake, your table might wobble, and the paintings of random vegetables will probably offend your more modernist friends, but it’s all part of the charm. Come with a few of your favourite people, eat a tonne of cheese, and witness your mates say “isn’t this lovely” every five minutes as they get progressively hammered on Bordeaux." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
