Experience a rustic taste of Europe in your own back yard courtesy of La Poule Au Pot and their dreamy decor.
When it comes to the world’s most romantic destinations, Paris is the city that traditionally tops the list. Sure, the garlic can be a little overpowering at times and we haven’t quite wrapped our heads around snails being considered a delicacy, but what this city does offer is a true snapshot of romance from days gone by.

Now, what if we told you you needn’t queue up for the Eurostar at St. Pancras in order to experience the passion of Paris – or even Provence for that matter? Sounds too good to be true, right? Luckily for you, Belgravia’s own La Poule Au Pot is here to curb your continental cravings.
A hidden gem in the heart of Belgravia, this quaint French establishment is guaranteed to bring out your inner romantic. Transporting you back to an era of candlelit dinners and roaring open fires, you can’t help but fall a little in love with this cosy corner of London.
Described as an “authentic re-creation of ‘Paysan’ France”, the spot has changed little since the 60s. With its exposed brick walls buried beneath large wicker baskets and countless festoons of dried flowers, it almost feels as though a French farmer could appear at any moment, armed with a pitchfork, and demand you leave him and his rural farmhouse in peace. Sorry Pierre, it’s not happening.
Opening hours: seven days a week, midday – 11pm
