Tucked away in the famously francophilic corner of London that is the Old Brompton Road, Ambassade de I'Ile is already enjoying rave reviews from critics and locals alike. Home to Gallic gastronomes, Sloanes, and trendy toffs, South Kensington is the ideal venue for this bijou neighbourhood eatery, which is set in a former Edwardian library and features a striking purple and white colour scheme. Ambassade de I'lle is an outpost of chef/owner Jean-Christophe Ansanay-Alex's two Michelin-starred l'Auberge de I'lle restaurant in Lyons and his food is proving to be just as popular here. Signature dishes include ravioli of foie gras and ginger with a port sauce; stuffed pigeon with mild spices, turnips and sweet and sour tomatoes; and warm white peach soufflé.
Average Price per person: £75 - £84
