Bistrot Bruno Loubet Description:
Bruno Loubet has been in Australia for ten years, which is enough time for one generation of restaurant-goers to stop asking "Where did Bruno Loubet go?" and the next generation to ask "Bruno who?" So that's at least two lots of people who are delighted that the gutsy French chef, previously at Bistro Bruno then L'Odeon, is back behind the stoves in London. The Zetter is a chic, friendly hotel in Clerkenwell and now the final ingredient (excuse the pun) is in place with Loubet's eponymous bistrot. Go here for genuine, uncompromising French flavours. Order guinea fowl boudin blanc with peas, ham and barley, or Loubet's "revised" Lyonnaise salad (which includes fried slivers of pig's ears---quite tasty) on poached egg and salad leaves. Move on to confit lamb with white beans and preserved lemon kicked with harissa; or a beef daube Provençale with mousseline potatoes. You'll never be able to take a "faux" French bistro meal with pleasure again after this experience. The wine list is over half French; mark-ups are un-greedy; the atmosphere buzzes.
