Take a stroll down Monmouth Street, London and you'll discover a little piece of England that will remain forever French. Mon Plaisir, London's oldest Family run French Restaurant, has been a purveyor of the finest French cuisine for over half a century. The entente cordial hits you as you enter, and the French atmosphere is as thick as the waiters French accents. You'll find yourself surround by wonderfully original French artefacts, you could find yourself leaning against the pewter topped bar which once graced the lounge of a Lyonnais brothel.

    My guests and I had lunch on a quiet Monday, which meant the restaurant ambience was a little subdued. Having said this, the food was excellent and the prices quite reasonable for that part of London..

    Quite a large restaurant that manages, by dint of inhabits 3 or 4 separate areas, to feel small and intimate. It exudes pride in its Frenchness, and the food is simply excellent: the richness is not overdone (no excesses of cream or cheese), but on a cold night the hearty fare was very welcome.

    Fabulous French food, very authentic. Great staff who took time out to chat and make us feel welcome. I hadn’t been for years but will be going back regularly now I’ve remembered just how good it is!

    Onion soup and steak tartare were really good. Creme brulee was not good as expected for a French Restaurant . Wifi was not working and also any of our phone connection was working neither for internet or calling . It was weird , we could not connect anyone outside the restaurant:)

    We first went here over 40 years ago and it hasn’t really changed- a real cozy French bistro classic. We had a wedding dinner here and came back for our 40th anniversary and it was just as good as we remembered which is often not the case- a miracle!
