About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

Blanchette Soho is a French bistro serving simple, classic and inventive French food. Our concept is based on the idea of sharing, from smaller snacks such as, charcuterie and cheese, to larger traditional dishes with a Blanchette twist. A fine selection of drinks, including a variety of French wines and classic cocktails, are also available.

Founded in 2013 by brothers Maxime, Malik and Yannis, the quintessentially Parisian restaurant is named after their mother. Maxime and Yannis have, between them, almost 30 years of experience in hospitality having worked in top restaurants across London, New York and Paris.

Music also plays a big part at Blanchette, with Malik, founder of sound design company La Musique du Faubourg, providing the soundtrack to ensure a buzzing and convivial atmosphere.

I eat in London a lot and this was one of the most memorable experiences for my family and me. Service was exceptional and the quality of food great. The concept of sharing plates is optional and worked very well. I will be back!

Decent enough but underwhelming for price point. Unfortunately, starters were the highlight of the meal.

A really lovely meal. Great French ambience. My only gripe is putting an automatic 13.5% service charge on the bill. I’m with A A Gill on this one.

Charming service, excellent food, a simple menu done well. It was busy and noisy when we were there, but that just added to the experience. Service was particularly good.
