Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A high-decibel Soho institution housed in a tiled Edwardian butcher's shop, where a glitter ball spins above marble counters and towering platters of shellfish.

Ordering Strategy

If you are a group, the seafood platter is non-negotiable. For couples, grab a high stool at the window or counter for people-watching. Stick to the classic shellfish and grilled items over the more complex fried dishes.

What to order

Safe first

Assiette de Fruits de Mer

Described as a 'massive' and 'expert fish dish,' this towering display of seafood is the centerpiece of the restaurant's 'buzzy' and 'Parisian' atmosphere.

Hungry

Classic Moules Marinières

The mussels are 'plump and tender,' served in a sauce 'so rich and indulgent' that critics admit they want to 'drink it straight from the bowl.'

Wildcard

Flaming Crème Brûlée

A theatrical 'Instagram video moment' that arrives at the table with 'flames leaping off of it,' delivering a perfect 'old skool French' finish to the meal.

Wildcard

Seared Orkney Scallops

These 'big buggers' are a rich and indulgent choice, served with croutons draped in salty pancetta and balanced by a sweet cauliflower puree.

What to skip

Skip
Breaded Cornish PlaiceThe heavy beurre blanc is essentially 'just melted butter' which tends to 'soggy up the plaice,' leaving the coating with 'no crispness.'

Good to know

The venue is famous for its high stools and loud disco music—not for a quiet chat. They are extremely strict on booking times (10-minute grace period max), so do not be late.
