Mon Plaisir

Mon Plaisir, 21 Monmouth Street, London WC2H 9DD (Tel: 020 7836 7243), is London’s oldest French restaurant and has been a purveyor of the finest French cuisine for over half a century, a rare entity in London’s fast-changing restaurant scene.

In 1942 Charles de Gaulle dined at Mon Plaisir, and for generations this family-run institution has been serving authentic French cuisine. During the London Restaurant Festival head chef Frank Raymond will be offering diners a culinary regional tour with a daily changing three course set lunch menu for £15. Regions covered will include Burgundy, Brittany, Languedoc, Normandy, Haute-Savoie and many more.

Side orders

A fundamental part of the London Restaurant Festival are the 'fringe' events which we call Side Orders. While LRF creates and operates the larger scale events as outlined opposite we really encourage all those working in the capital's restaurant scene to get creative and devise their own events to run throughout the festival. In 2010 we had over a dozen of these Side Order events going on including the Savoy Truffle Club, Bistroteque pop-up, a Cloudy Bay wine and food matching dinner and Street Kitchen, the mobile restaurant in an airstream. All were a sell-out and garnered plenty of publicity. No matter how small or how off-the-wall, we are interested in hearing your ideas and including them in the line up for LRF 2011. LRF is here to help chefs and restaurants poke their heads above the parapet and get noticed. So please get in touch with Adam Coghlan.
