French Restaurants in St John's Wood
1. PLU
French restaurant in St John's Wood
12 Blenheim Terrace - NW8
“One of the most creative and delicious meals I’ve ever had” – Elliot Moss inspires rapturous reviews from a small but very enthusiastic fan club, who acclaim his “luxurious” and “intimate” St John’s Wood two-year-old as one of London’s unsung gastronomic adventures. The restaurant recommends three hours to enjoy its £125, twelve-course tasting menu: “a feast that will amaze and delight any gourmand, providing sensory overload of the sights, smells and tastes”. (“My husband let the restaurant know in advance that it was my birthday, I think in the hope of scoring me a little extra cake or some such but what happened was phenomenal. At the end of the meal my dessert arrived with my portrait, in chocolate, on the plate!!! The chef, who works alone in the kitchen, is an artist with some of the best cooking skills either of us have ever experienced.”)
2. Oslo Court
French restaurant in St John's Wood
Charlbert Street - NW8
“It’s always a joy to hear ‘Happy Birthday’ being sung again and again” at this buoyant family-run “relic”, “tucked away at the foot of a Regent’s Park apartment block”. “From the salmon pink tablecloths, ‘Kings’-style cutlery, candles, roses, toast melba and crudités with garlicky mayonnaise” to the resolutely dated, but “well executed” menu (“my potatoes were sautéed as they would have been c1972”), it’s a “unique, old skool dining experience” whose fundamentals “haven’t changed in over forty years”. For sure, “you won’t leave hungry” and you will eat “at very reasonable prices”. The very characterful service is “second to none” and ultimately what seals its appeal: “you cannot refer to this restaurant without mentioning the lovely Maria & Tony and never-to-be-forgotten Neil the dessert supremo”.

“Still going strong” after 41 years – chef-patronne Catherine Parisot’s “lovely and atmospheric” hideaway in St John’s Wood remains first choice for a “romantic” date for many reporters. “The classically French menu hasn’t changed in years”, but regulars aren’t complaining – “Catherine is a wonderful host” and they’ve “never had a bad meal”: this is a place that “keeps its high standards for cooking and service, and keeps its customers”.
