Their own judgment, in their own words, by the piece it appeared in.
- Conde Nast Traveller, 'Where the Chefs Eat' (Cass Farrar) ↗their pick · 2026-01-31
- Bouchon RacineFarringdon
“Go online and read the classic menu, and you will not be disappointed, but you should feel pangs of hunger because this is a bouchon as it should be. Bouchon Racine hasn't been open long, and yet, when you're in there, it feels as though it's existed in that space for decades.”
- The French HouseSoho
“The French House Dining Room, above Dean Street, with its Soho life passing below the windows. Neil is in the kitchen, drawing from his time in some of the great kitchens of France that were always small, intimate, local and popular. The handwritten menu changes almost daily.”
