Bienvenue à French SocietyA bistro? Yes. But not just any. Parisian charm flirting with modern soul."At the heart of a great restaurant, there are always people… & their dogs!"This new venture is brought to life by the same famille behind Patron in Kentish Town. At its centre is Louis, chef de cuisine & maestro des plats, whose hands have shaped the kitchen at Patron for over 7 years, now bringing his vision to this new chapter, a petite sœur bistro that draws inspiration from its predecessor while embracing a new unique direction.“It’s a place where you’ll want to return to time & time again, to bask in the energy of the crowd, to be a part of a community, or to enjoy a quiet moment alone. It is a place that feels alive & timeless in its warmth, like a perfectly aged Bordeaux—luxurious, but never too proud to share a joke. It’s a place where time seems to linger, where the conversations flow as effortlessly as the wine.”

Namely, that it is a space in which guests feel utterly taken care of. We are open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. We very much hope to see you soon.
