The French Quarter

A modern French, all-day dining spot with 'Swiss Army Knife' versatility, easing a lunchtime drop-in, wine bar, casual restaurant, café-deli and private-dining balcony into a repurposed railway arch where a buzzy atmosphere reverberates all around. The small-plates menu is equally suited to light repasts and grande bouffes, ranging from frog's legs, escargots and moules marinière to confit duck, boeuf bourguignon and grilled lamb rump with rosemary jus. Alternatively, spend an afternoon at the bar in the company of the brilliant staff, eating plates of artisan charcuterie and fromage with homemade chutneys while working your way through tasting flights of their wine list (reckoned to be ‘the best in the city’). Glasses of vin de la maison start at £6.
