Le St Julien in London’s coolest Clerkenwell does the traditional French brasserie "thing" with charm and warmth. Established in 2005, visited by locals and tourists as well, whether you should like to have a business lunch or just enjoy a nice evening with friends, everybody is welcome. When it comes to decor, Le St Julien pulls out all the stops - mirrors, gilt finishes, elegant period lighting and a traditional wooden bar.

The menu does the traditional French cuisine "classics", and does them very well indeed, like fish soup, foie gras, snails, duck cassoulet and entrecote - all in generous portions. Le St Julien’s cheese board is superb, while the wine list, mostly French (et pourquoi pas?) complements the menu, beautifully. Don’t be surprised if owner Francois Jobard, from Provence, stops at your table to say "Bonjour" and personally to make sure that all is well.

If you’ve ever dined at an authentic French brasserie,you will recognise Le St Julien instantly, the real deal not a long way from home in Long Lane with a beautiful view of the old meat market of Smithfield
