"Faultless Parisian brasserie, next to the Ritz. Decór is inspired by posh 1920s Wolseley cars, with lots of shiny brass, mirrored surfaces, and black-and-white surfaces."

"The menu is varied, influenced by Europe so you can go from herrings with potato and dill to coq au vin, from Wiener Schnitzel to roast haddock, cockles and Jersey royal potatoes."
