A spectacular, subterranean Beaux-Arts dining hall transporting diners to 1920s Paris with grand interiors at astonishingly low prices.
Ordering Strategy
The Prix Fixe menu is legendary for its value (£10-£15 range). Solo diners can skip the queue by eating at the bar. Don't skip dessert; the profiteroles and tartes are highlights.

Steak Haché

Good to know
The restaurant is massive and underground, accessed via a café entrance. It can get very loud and busy. Live jazz plays in the evenings.
