"Frenchie, a (you guessed it) French restaurant in Covent Garden will change your mind about, well, everything. Because this really, really good-looking spot with its shiny bar and herringbone-tiled floors is more than a pretty face. Its sprout tempura—crispy little bites of joy with anchovy and mustard—will convert the scrooges. And if they can change your mind about fancy restaurants and brussels sprouts, maybe, just maybe, with its warm dome lighting and velvet seating, they can change your mind about double dates.
