About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Take a stroll down Monmouth Street, London and you'll discover a little piece of England that will remain forever French. Mon Plaisir, London's oldest Family run French Restaurant, has been a purveyor of the finest French cuisine for over half a century. The entente cordial hits you as you enter, and the French atmosphere is as thick as the waiters French accents. You'll find yourself surround by wonderfully original French artefacts, you could find yourself leaning against the pewter topped bar which once graced the lounge of a Lyonnais brothel.

    I was last there 25 years ago when living across the street. It was my absolute favorite and the coq au vin was the best ever (no longer on the menu). Just back for a week and made sure to reserve a table before theater. Sad to see that business was not brisk but the service and the food was still extraordinary. Hoping to be back again soon.

    This is a delightful island of serenity in the madness of Covent Garden. Traditional French bistro food. Generous portion. Be sure to book ahead, as it is quite small.

    We have always loved Mon Plaisir, but we where a bit dissapointed this time. They seem to have lost the good spirit that they once had.
