Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

Indian BBQ · ££££ · City of London

86Signal

5
Club Gascon

French (Gascon) · ££££ · City of London

47Signal

Start with

Cassoulet Toulousain

A staple of the 'hearty peasant food' tradition of Gascony and the chef's home region, though critics note it is best enjoyed when properly crusted and rich with sausage.

Useful signal, but still lighter than the standouts.
