#FLODown: La Poule au Pot in Belgravia is a charming French bistro that feels like a slice of France in the heart of London. Established in 1962 and run with warmth and flair, it offers classic French dishes such as Coq au Vin, Onion Soup, and Tarte Tatin, served in a delightfully rustic setting filled with antique furnishings and cosy nooks. The terrace is perfect for summer dining, overlooking Orange Square, while the interior exudes character with its lived-in, atmospheric charm. With an exclusively French wine list, attentive service, and a set menu offering good value, this is a neighbourhood gem worth travelling for—ideal for a romantic dinner, a catch-up with friends, or simply a taste of France without the journey.

#FLODown: Continuing our French theme this June, our next pick is the effortlessly chic Marjorie’s in Soho. This intimate French restaurant and wine bar artfully blends Parisian tradition with seasonal British produce, serving refined yet unfussy dishes such as escargots with pine nut cream, red mullet in a delicate bouillabaisse, and mille-feuille crowned with strawberries and chantilly. The all-French wine list changes regularly, the cheese is sourced from La Fromagerie, and the mood is pure old-school Soho — atmospheric, understated, and full of charm. Marjorie’s offers a truly French dining experience, right in the heart of the city.

#FLODown: Whitcomb’s at The Londoner Veuve Clicquot Summer Terrace is open for the summer season, providing a bright and stylish escape inspired by the French Riviera. The terrace showcases a vibrant selection of Veuve Clicquot champagnes, including the Discovery and Elevation tasting flights, perfect for champagne lovers. The Mediterranean-inspired menu features dishes like a rich mushroom risotto with truffle and tender lamb served with courgette, tomato, and rosemary jus. For dessert, the crème brûlée cheesecake topped with vanilla, caramel crackling, and forest berries is highly recommended, alongside the refreshing Veuve Clicquot Brut champagne sorbet with strawberry to finish the meal on a light note.

#FLODown: If you’re gallery-hopping around Mayfair or St James’s this June and find yourself in need of a stylish yet welcoming spot to refuel, Cicchetti Piccadilly makes an ideal stop. Located in the former Richoux site, this latest addition to the San Carlo group offers elegant interiors, vibrant energy and a layout where every table feels like a good one. The Italian sharing menu spans from creamy Burrata to standout monkfish wrapped in Parma ham, finishing with indulgent desserts like the mousse-like Torta Setteveli. It’s the kind of place you drop into for a quick bite and end up lingering far longer than expected.
