“The duck burger is sublime and the triple-cooked duck-fat chips are moreish” at this offshoot of nearby Club Gascon, which offers a more informal venue for simpler but similar cuisine from SW France. We’ve rated it on the basis of its consistent pre-pandemic performance, as it remains closed as of September 2021 while the team waits for folks to return to their offices around Smithfield.

“Excellent duck dishes and super duck-fat chips” capture the flavour of southwest France at this offshoot of nearby Club Gascon in Smithfield. It’s a “niche restaurant that sticks to its knitting and does it well”, with a “very competitive lunch-time offering providing a good-quality meal at a very nice price”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
