Candlelit French bistro with dried flowers, classic fare
"If you’re looking for an evening of charming French farmhouse cosplay, then don a navy work jacket and head over to Victoria. La Poule Au Pot is stuffed to the wooden beams with baskets of dried flowers, hanging grape decorations, and yellowing framed prints. Combine that with ample amounts of butter and bacon, a rich cassoulet and, of course, chicken in a pot—and you have all the elements of a good night." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"This French charmer is perfect for escaping Victoria, without actually having to leave Victoria. It’s stuffed to the wooden beams with baskets of dried flowers, hanging grape decorations, and yellowing framed prints, while well-dressed groups sip wine as though it’s a gathering in one of their charming French farmhouses. The food is just as transportive and wholesome, like wine-infused beef bourguignon and rich cassoulet, served with vegetables that are heavy on butter and bacon." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"La Poule Au Pot makes us nostalgic for Christmasses in the French countryside that we never had. The Victoria spot is stuffed to the wooden beams with baskets of dried flowers, hanging grape decorations, and yellowing framed prints—perfect for pretending your festive meet-up is in your own charming French farmhouse. The menu is just as transportive and wholesome: wine-infused beef bourguignon, rich cassoulet, and a perfect tarte tatin, all served with vegetables that are heavy on butter and bacon." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"If you’re in Victoria on a Sunday night but would like to be transported to a charming farmhouse, head to La Poule Au Pot. The Belgravia spot is ideal for comforting French classics—rich cassoulet, wine-infused beef bourguignon—and ignoring the fact that you have a job to go to tomorrow. It closes at 9pm." - jake missing, sinead cranna
"Arriving at Victoria coach station you’d think the “British experience” was takeaway bags of Leon, pelting rain, and the Megabus mascot. But don’t lose heart. A short walk away is La Poule Au Pot. It’s stuffed to the wooden beams with baskets of dried flowers, hanging grape decorations, yellowing framed prints, and well-dressed groups sipping wine as though it’s a gathering in one of their second-home farmhouses. The charming French restaurant was practically made for miserable days. And the food is just as transportive and wholesome—wine-infused beef bourguignon and perfectly cooked guinea fowl, all served with vegetables that are heavy on butter and bacon." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
