Villandry Description:
The main restaurant is spacious and airy, opening out from the front and the shop, decked out with all manner of vegetables and cheeses, and tinned, jarred and beautifully packaged items. In Paris many of these are run of the mill, yet in London they seem to instill cries of pleasure and pain at the quality and price in equal measure. The dining area has expanded, the deli shrunk. But now you can get plates of charcuterie and light dishes in the bar and full meals in the brasserie-style restaurant. The monthly changing menu goes for the straightforward and maintains the concentration on ingredients, as in ham hock salad with pickled girolles and sauce gribiche to start and seared black bream with roast tomatoes and tapenade or a hearty winter cassoulet of duck confit with Toulouse sausages. It's all very well sourced and skillfully cooked. The wine list too, gains strength from its simplicity. Service is enthusiastic, if a little slow. Breakfast is taken at the bar, which gets very crowded at all times.
