Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
There's something very jazz age about the ambience at this playful yet sophisticated French restaurant. An occasional but imaginative program of live entertainment means that your dinner could be accompanied by anything from a 1930s-style gypsy band to a silent film screening. The classic-with-a-twist ethos carries through to the menu; try the lemon- and thyme-scented swordfish, or the twice-baked blue cheese soufflé. The two-course lunch menu is an excellent value at just £12.50.
