Where To Eat When You Want To Feel Incredibly Cultured

"The word literary and the word cultured spend a lot of time together. That’s why being able to drop a sentence like ‘did you know that Dylan Thomas once left one of his manuscripts under a chair here’ while nibbling on a pork rillette is an exceptional power move. Actors, writers, and famed narcissists have all passed through The French’s doors and the Soho boozer still keeps an air of encouraged debauchery and privacy with the no phones rule in the upstairs dining room. Get involved in the daily changing menu, order a half-pint—no full pints available as per tradition—and drop Francis Bacon’s name at least 40 times. Sorted. " - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
