French flavour

Designed by John Whelan and founded by François O’neill of Brompton Bar & Grill the new Maison François London restaurant has opened with aplomb – heralding rather noteworthy interiors. Design inspiration was sought from architectural gems such as Ricardo Bofill’s postmodern cement factory, ‘with soaring 20-foot-high ceilings hung with art-deco chandeliers, softened by mirror-filled arches’. The menus ‘pay homage to the grand brasseries of Paris and Lyon’ so anticipate French cuisine options, such as Dauphine ravioli with Comté and black pepper and Beef entrecote withpepper.@maisonfrancoislondon
