Blanchette Soho is a French bistro serving simple, classic and inventive French food. Our concept is based on the idea of sharing, from smaller snacks such as, charcuterie and cheese, to larger traditional dishes with a Blanchette twist. A fine selection of drinks, including a variety of French wines and classic cocktails, are also available.

Founded in 2013 by brothers Maxime, Malik and Yannis, the quintessentially Parisian restaurant is named after their mother. Maxime and Yannis have, between them, almost 30 years of experience in hospitality having worked in top restaurants across London, New York and Paris.

Music also plays a big part at Blanchette, with Malik, founder of sound design company La Musique du Faubourg, providing the soundtrack to ensure a buzzing and convivial atmosphere.

    Friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and efficient staff, music not to our tastes but the volume was lowered at our request. Two chefs, one current and one (me) retired enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish, limited yet well cooked menu, good wine list and all hail the predominant cheese element of the menu. Recommended and I will be back for sure.

    The restaurant is super cute and ambient. Wine and champagne was superb. Menu options somewhat disappointing, expected to see a steak option on the menu and desert choice very limited (no chocolate). Had a nice evening but wouldn’t rush back. Sorry

    Lovely little bistro - very quiet, but that made the service all the better! Attentive, but not unnecessarily overbearing....just about perfect. Great, simple lunch menu - between the two of us, we had all of the options, and they were great. Good, non-overbearing portion sizes, but good tasty food. Will certainly be coming back!
