London’s most underrated French restaurant serves up the most exotic and delicious cuisine.

The Venue
The eclectic black and purple decor sets the restaurant apart. The blinds are in the form of purplish-white crystal streaks that look like purple rain flowing down the windows. The restaurant uses the little space available very efficiently and the toilets are very stylish with proper French soaps and hand lotion.

The Atmosphere
The clientele is extremely elegant, which is why the sometimes lax service is slightly at odds in a restaurant of this calibre. However, for the most part, the staff are wonderful and contributes immensely to the authenticity of the restaurant.

The Food
This is a serious fine dining restaurant, starting with the olive tapanade on toast that you can’t get enough of. L’Etranger Restaurant serves some traditional French dishes, but the specialities are eclectic French-Asian dishes, like silky tofu in wondrously innovative sauces, presented with French chic. Desserts can be equally exotic like mango souffle, but the chocolate fondant is a must-have and as the best you can find in Paris.

The Drink
The wine list is simply superb, as is the sommelier. He will recommend the wines he thinks will match each course best, then enquire about your preferences and take them into account before the wine is finally selected.

The Last Word
For wonderful French food in the capital, be sure to give L’Etranger Restaurant a try.
