At first glance, you'll think it's a tourist trap. Le Petit Châtelet is right next to Shakespeare & Co. in the 5th arrondissement, but this restaurant is as authentic as they come. Located in a very old building, Le Petit Châtelet is small, cozy, and warm. And when we say warm, we mean it: there's a stone fireplace inside and they'll cook your meat right over the flames. The food is excellent, and the price point is reasonable for such good fare and location.
Hélène Darroze at The Connaught is celebrating Valentine's Day in London with a special menu, showcasing the best of fine French dining and fresh British ingredients. The meal begins with caviar paired with sea urchin and dashi jelly, continuing with indulgent dishes such as black truffle with cacklebean egg, Dover sole from Newlyn in Cornwall, and veal from Corrèze, France. Dessert comes in two parts: rhubarb and chocolate courses.
