Take a stroll down Monmouth Street, London and you'll discover a little piece of England that will remain forever French. Mon Plaisir, London's oldest Family run French Restaurant, has been a purveyor of the finest French cuisine for over half a century. The entente cordial hits you as you enter, and the French atmosphere is as thick as the waiters French accents. You'll find yourself surround by wonderfully original French artefacts, you could find yourself leaning against the pewter topped bar which once graced the lounge of a Lyonnais brothel.

    Superb mid week birthday lunch with family which due to our time constraints was kept simple. Excellent value charcuterie/cheese platter to graze as starter x5, followed by tartiflette and omelette classics...all delicious. With a very acceptable rosé it was great value for money but hard to put a price on its very unique french charm in heart of London. Highly recommend.

    French onion soup was delicious, but a meal in Itself. Main courses were drowned in sauce, would’ve preferred to pour myself. Service was a bit erratic and I was disappointed that we weren’t served by French staff took away a bit of the essence of the restaurant one of the reasons we chose this place because it boasts online about being the oldest French restaurant in London so I expected a French experience and it felt anything but if I’m honest. Overall nice meal but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it or return
