Humanity being a complex species with varied tastes, the notion of any universally acknowledged truth is safest left to the first line of a Jane Austen novel. So it would be nonsense to claim that the one thing everybody loves in the way of restaurants is the capacious, buzzy, authentically Parisian brasserie.

Oh, this is going to be good. With its pedigree, how could Les Deux Salons be anything else? Its owners are Anthony Demetre and Will Smith of Michelin-starred Arbutus fame. After an initial bomb-out at the over-ambitious Putney Bridge, the two partners, chef and front of house, have become darlings of the media and punters alike for their formula of accessibly priced haute cuisine, fondness for cheap cuts and frissons of innovation (hello there, squid and mackerel burger).
