#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.
