Pied à Terre

The West End


This petite and elegant Michelin-starred French restaurant, a stayer on London's dining scene, presents plenty of Francophile favourites (such as skate wing in browned butter sauce) but is unafraid to experiment (super-fresh prawns may be diced for a tartare including yuzu, samphire and quinoa). It's also making a serious pitch to non-meat eaters, with one vegan and two vegetarian menus.
