Harden's survey result
Summary
“Madame Catherine reigns as always with French charm” (“although at times she can be a little touchy”) at her St John’s Wood stalwart, whose superbly atmospheric quarters are particularly “perfect for an intimate and romantic meal for two”. She “keeps high standards” including very “dependable” cuisine bourgeoise (but “some new additions on the menu” might not go amiss).
Summary
Catherine Parisot’s “charmant” Gallic classic in St John’s Wood “provides a thoroughly enjoyable evening” combining a “lovely” superbly “romantic” setting with a “small, expertly executed menu” of archetypal cuisine bourgeoise. La Patronne’s occasional stormy outbreaks were not in evidence this year.
Summary
“Magnifique!” – Catherine Parisot’s “special” St John’s Wood treasure is “so French, fun and romantic” and continues to deliver “dependable, high-quality” cuisine bourgeoise. Service from La Patronne and her team can be “attitude-y” or slow, but on most accounts: “who cares?”
Summary
Catherine Parisot’s “little piece of France” is a treasured St John’s Wood “institution”, and its “gorgeous” style has “survived its recent revamp” unscathed; service is “fantastically kind” (except when La Patronne is having an off day) and its “old-school” cuisine bourgeoise is “superb” (if from a rather “unchanging” menu).
