Average to bad food. Limited options! I don't recommend it. I have eaten much better! Expensive for what you eat.

One of my favorite spots for a cold beer and charcuterie snack. Been going for years. Solid meat and cheese options. Bar is small but fun. Window seating in the summer. Any go wrong here.

Lovely! Visited on Valentine’s Day and expected it to be a bit crazy, but the service was amazing, food arrived quickly and everyone was very attentive. Lovely atmosphere, nice drinks, nice food, only comment is that it would be good to have a few more options to eat.

Walking around looking for a place to have dinner we happened upon this place. They found us a table and we had a wonderful meal. My mother’s maiden name is Blanchette and I was missing her and this place was so excellent on all fronts and it all came together and it made me happy.

We used this place for a Christmas gathering for a lunch and it was quite quiet when we dined. The service was warm and charming and made us feel very welcoming. The menu was quite difficult to choose if you were thinking as starter and main course but the food was tasty although there were quite a few items out off the menu (perhaps as it was before Xmas closure).

Vinimos aquí anoche después de leer buenas críticas en otro sitio. 1 / El personal era encantador. 2 / El ambiente era encantador. 3 /La calidad de la comida era preciosa. SIN EMBARGO... Los tamaños de las porciones eran ridículamente Pequeño dados los precios. Pedimos el maridaje de queso y miel para comenzar, x 3 , entre 6 de nosotros pensando que sería suficiente. £ 21 valor de 6 de las rodajas más pequeñas de queso. En realidad pensamos que era una broma y estábamos esperando que apareciera el resto. Para la red, tenía la mejilla de ternera que estaba deliciosa, pero un poco en el lado pequeño. Marido y amigo tenían el pato que consistía en una pechuga muy pequeña. El vientre de cerdo era igual de pequeño pero el bacalao era risiblemente minúsculo. La comida llegaba en diferentes momentos, por lo que esperar a que la comida de todos estuviera en la mesa al mismo tiempo significaba que la comida de otros se enfriaba y tenía que calentarse. Para ser justos con el personal, ofrecieron postres gratuitos que extrañamente eran bastante grandes. En general, agradable, pero no estoy seguro de que volveré ya que algunos de nosotros salimos todavía con hambre a pesar de pagar más de £ 120 por pareja.

Great quality food and presentation. Unfortunately, our server wasn’t very professional. They made us feel very rushed even when there were many seats available. Ultimately, they lost custom, as we left rather than buying more drinks. It’s a shame as the food and atmosphere were very nice.

Booked the private dining room for a business dinner following a very long meeting. It was just what everyone needed! Feedback was very positive and the food was delicious! Cosy, intimate and relaxed, not to formal. Will most definitely be back again!!! The staff are absolutely lovely. One thing I would suggest ( only because it was a business dinner) is to have the music turned down by a small touch. If you're there in a personal capacity, no problem with the music. Please visit Blanchette, you won't be disappointed.

This is a cozy French bistro in the heart of Soho with such a cute interior. The food is incredible and very reasonably priced. They even have a pre-show set menu so you can grab a bite to eat before your show.

Estaba muy impresionado por este restaurante francés escondido en el borde del Soho. Estaba bastante ocupado, lo que era una buena señal y tiene un buen ambiente bullicioso pero no dominante. Tenía el vientre de cerdo que estaba muy bien cocinado y presentado con algunas patatas fritas y salsa bearnesa. El precio se encuentra en el extremo más alto de la gama media y la red eléctrica te retrasa entre 35 y 40 £ dependiendo de los lados.

Buena ubicación en el Soho justo detrás de la zona de Oxford Street con una bonita decoración y velas. 3 de nosotros y factura £ 125 inc 13. Cargo por servicio del 5 %. Pedí mejillones que eran muy sosos, y tuve que pedir pan para mojar que era 5. 50 extra. Chips como las patatas fritas del supermercado, aunque estragón bañado en mayo agradable. Pedí ensalada de burratina principal (como burrata) y era DIMINUTO! Más bien un entrante, y había tan poca ensalada que me preguntaba si habían traído el plato equivocado (16 libras esterlinas ), así que un poco de estafa, aunque sabroso. Vaso de cremante burbujeante 10 £, pero mejor relación calidad-precio pidiendo una botella. Posponga cuando la mesa se limpie con un paño j viejo, y la camarera aclare las copas antes de que el vino termine (se detuvo justo a tiempo).

Great starters and mains but, for a restaurant that prides itself on the menu for the cheese and honey pairings, get them up to room temperature before serving!! If I want a soft cheese, it needs to be soft! Staff however were superb in dealing with customers who were disappointed with the cheese.

I had the crab tagietelle and 2 glasses of rose. Super expensive, dribble of wine for 10 quid a glass (v small glass) and half plate of crab pasta, that came strongly recommended from the waitress. I am never risking going to any Soho restaurant again. The food was tasteless. My friend had the chips which were the highlight looks like of the menu. The only other good thing was we sat outside and had some space. I thought it might be good, chicken looked ok, but why they recommended the crab pasta, it came in a brown sauce, not that tasty and I didn't taste the crab, maybe cos it was frozen? I didn't enjoy it at all. Soho dining it can be very hit and miss and this one certainly missed the spot. Sorry but 100% true. The service was crap too, just not very friendly waitresses.

Outstanding french cuisine, would highly recommend! We ordered the bread with butter, mixed olives, beef croquettes, the pork belly and the crab tagliatelle with red chilli and garlic. The bread was superb, and the beef croquettes lived up to the expectations, they were of decent size, incredibly flavoursome and rich, and great for sharing. The pork belly was very well cooked, soft and full of flavour, and the bacon jam improved the plate by adding a touch of sweetness in addition to the sauces. The best dish was definitely the crab tagliatelle. While one may think that there is not that much crab since it’s shredded, it is in copious amounts, and even the pasta tastes like crab, which is rare to find since many restaurants when cooking with seafood only add tomato sauce and the seafood to the pasta rather than cooking them together. The chilly flavour was perfect, not too much as to overtake the other components of the plate but enough to give it a nice kick. All in all, would recommend, great spot for a dinner in Soho!

Blanchette, nestled in the heart of Soho, is a gem that offers a delightful escape into French cuisine with a modern twist. The intimate and charming ambiance immediately sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The rustic décor, with its vintage accents and cozy seating, makes it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. One of the standout dishes at Blanchette is their chicken. Cooked to perfection, the chicken is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The seasoning is impeccable, creating a savory dish that leaves a lasting impression. It's clear that great care and expertise go into the preparation, making it a must-try for any visitor. Equally impressive is the starter meat platter. This selection of cured meats is a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality. Each piece on the platter offers a distinct taste experience, from the rich and hearty to the delicately spiced. Paired with fresh bread and accompaniments, it’s an excellent way to start the meal and truly showcases Blanchette’s commitment to traditional French charcuterie. The service at Blanchette is also commendable. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food they serve. They are more than willing to offer recommendations and ensure that every guest feels well taken care of. The menu at Blanchette is diverse, offering a range of dishes that cater to different tastes while maintaining a strong French influence. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, complementing the menu perfectly and enhancing the overall dining experience. Overall, Blanchette in Soho scores a well-deserved 4.6 out of 5. The combination of exceptional food, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy French cuisine in London. Whether you’re there for the exquisite chicken or the delectable meat platter, Blanchette promises a dining experience that’s both satisfying and memorable.

Portions aren’t massive but perfect for a lunch. Was nice to be able to order a carafe of wine rather than a full bottle too. Service was attentive and friendly.

Charming restaurant with a gorgeous private dining room downstairs. I dined at Blanchette on a Thursday evening with a work group of 10 people and we had the private room downstairs. We were greeted by lovely staff upon arrival and our waitress for the evening was Beatrice who was absolutely fabulous and very patient and kind to us - the group was very loud and a bit chaotic in some moments… Service was impeccable. Food was delicious - simple dishes executed to perfection. The seabream tartare was the best raw fish I’ve had in my life. I’d been recommended Blanchette by people I worked with previously and I can see why they raved about it, it truly is a fine establishment.

Blanchette recently celebrated its 10th birthday, which means it can legitimately be considered a modern Soho institution in my book. And it's clearly earned that tenure from some exceptional food and fantastic atmosphere. Our dinner for two delivered on both of those. One page of the menu is dedicated to small plates that serve as appetisers - bar snacks, cheese and honey pairings, charcuterie and the like. A special call out to the goats cheese and honeycomb which was the dish of the night. The other side of the menu is a variety of mains with a strong French influence, and both my salmon and my dining partner's moules were delicious (though secretly it was the frites and Béarnaise we couldn't get enough of). We finished the meal with some utterly delicious passion fruit and coffee ice creams accompanied by a very well made espresso martini. Then the atmosphere. The restaurant is small but typically packed, giving it a buzz that you really only get in the heart of Soho. It's exhilaratingly chaotic and charming in equal measure. The only slight drawback was the service. While nothing but friendly, the actual delivery was patchy. The small plates took a while to arrive, only for the mains to then be sent from the kitchen before said small plates had been fully eaten. And the front of house team, who again were entirely cheerful, were also clearly a bit harried. Still, perhaps that's just part of the vibe. Do as the French do, order another bottle of wine and go with the flow...

Very disappointed. I had wanted to try Blanchette for a long time, having heard good things. Had the pre-theatre menu, which seemed like a good deal but the portions were tiny -- I left hungry. The starter was good without being amazing. But I had mussels for the main and they were tiny thin mussels, with grit still in them, very disappointing, and nowhere near enough for a full portion. Hopefully they do better on their main menu but I wouldn't go back to find out.

How my vegetarian parents got food poisoning causing fever and vomiting from the cauliflower dish I have no idea- there must be some serious cross contamination happening in the kitchen. We shared all of our dishes and the cauliflower was the only one I didn’t have, and coincidentally I’m fine! It was also the only meal that they both ate that day so couldn’t be caused by anything else. The food was average, nothing particularly wowed us and we ordered a third of the menu. The cheese beignets were nice but aren’t beignets, they’re fried cheese sticks- very disappointing. Beef cheek was nice but only contained 5 mouthfuls of beef- the squash was really nicely cooked though. The fries were lukewarm when they arrived, had a spongy oily texture, and the bearnaise sauce tasted really lemon-y. Chocolate fondant was okay, but the exterior was dry and the coffee ice cream was gritty, I think maybe freezer burned? Overall a disappointing experience for my birthday meal, I won’t be coming back unfortunately.

I had an amazing experience at Blanchette! I’ve been trying multiple French restaurants in London but none of them really touched me except this one. We ordered sea bream tartare, fish with clams and mussels, beef cheek and a passion fruit flavoured dessert. My sister and I could not stop smiling as they are too delicious to be true! Thank you this beautiful charming lady at the bar for serving us and a big shout out to the chef team!

Delicious food that makes you wanting more... Very small portions, and though delicious, we definitely left still hungry

Such a nice little French restaurant in the middle of soho. Gets you to travel to France with its atmosphere and delicious food, with super friendly and professional staff! Loved it. It’s a bit pricy, but equally nice.

It was OK, French restaurant with few options. Service was very slow, and we needed to order the same thing few times before they brought it. The portions are rather small, and needed to eat lots of bread to compensate. They were very concerned about the time we would stay. No more than 2 hours, regardless if we are still eating dessert, or finishing the wine bottles. We went for a business dinner, and needed to discuss important matters, but they said our time ess over and kicked us out. On top they charge a mandatory 13.5% tip. I would not go back.

Went in November. Nice room. Very friendly welcome. However service was uninformed, and not particularly proactive or attentive. The truffle popcorn was a very small portion that was cold and soft despite being £3. Gentle mention got a response of 'oh'. I couldn't be bothered asking it to be removed from the bill, but it would have been the correct reply. One of the starter/snacks was quite good prawn (I think?) croquettes, although slightly under-seasoned. Another, was just bland despite being a cheese-focused dish. Mains forgettable. Didnt bother with desert. Wine list ok although limited by the glass with no help, and the non-drinker in the group felt there could have been a more proactive suggestion for him. Pretty average overall.

The cutest little Drench restaurant, great ambiance and amazing food. The website and pics don’t do it justice!

Super bon restaurant, mais attention à l’arnaque le paiement est demandé à la réservation mais il vous font payer encore + 15% de la note à la fin du repas pour le service alors que les plats sont déjà très coûteux et le service est normalement inclue dans les restaurants londonien (précisé à aucun moment lors de la réservation). Nous y retournerons jamais !! Une belle escroquerie !

We ordered a two course meal and some dishes from the menu. We love the crispy bread with honey and cheese a lot! Croquettes are nice with melty fillings inside, the soup is thick and creamy, and the chicken is tendered. Yet the risotto is comparatively ordinary and the service charge is a bit higher than the normal restaurant. Overall it is a delightful experience.

As ever, the experience was great. I’ve been coming for years and there’s a reason for that. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Delicious French fare in a really cute setting - loved the mussels, the shrimp, the baked cheese and the sticky toffee pudding (the tagliatelle with mushrooms was alright). Good service and a really nice ambiance / decor. Will be back!

Great staff- friendly and accommodating! And, nice bar for eating. First course. Pâté be croûte, pickled vegetables, lacked flavor and a little dry. 2nd course. Baked St Marcelin & truffle honey, come on, melted cheese and honey is always delicious. Main course. Grilled pork belly, oyster mushroom and blue crumble apple. The best part of the meal. Not too fatty and a great flavor combo. It came with frites which were soggy and flavorless, unfortunately. Dessert. Chocolate tart, very bad. Also, very limited wine by the glass . Bartender was helpful and knowledgeable. I would return and try charcuterie and cheese. Overall. 7 out of 10. Good 😉 That’s all for now.

Very accommodating for gluten and dairy free options, which can be especially challenging for French cuisine! Dishes were flavourful sans-butter. I’d recommend the chicken and pork!

Stunning meat dishes and meat platters, but cheese and honey and desserts were too overpriced. IMO, we paid too much. Stuff was great, welcoming and helpful.

Cozy little French bistro. I understand their menu is seasonal. Food tasted great. The service was top notch. They didn’t have any mocktails on their drink menu but the bar attendant who was French (Nance was his name I believe if I remember correctly) made me one of my favs which was Chapman. It wasn’t on the menu but he went the extra to shake it down for me. Thank you! We had the prawns for starters. As main we had the pork belly, chicken and beef. You need to order a side with whatever you choose as main because the description in the main are just garnish aside from the protein. Every little detail on the plate made culinary sense. For sides we had the green beans salad which was nicely crunchy. We also had the fries. I highly recommend this place. Attentive and welcoming staff!

By far the most dissapointing meal i have had while travelling, very underwhelming bland tasting food. Poorly executed dishes.

I know that is central London. I know that eating out is expensive now. But £75 for 3 glasses of wine between 2 people and one sliced tomato with 3(!) anchovies on top seems a bit too much. The three glasses we ordered were natural wines, trendy but quite simple wines. No complexity or any particular note to add. I like natural wine, but £50 for 3 glasses...come on! The last glass was presented as similar to an Argentinian Malbec. We got a natural fizzy chilled red, with poor concentration of flavours. Completely other side of the spectrum. If you want to charge these prices, try to provide what your prices are claiming to offer. Very disappointed!

Prices are ridiculously overcharged, for a bottle of 15£ they ask you for 55£ and so on, so we asked for some beers, mine was expired, they changed it but don't pay too much attention or apologize, they even include us service charge after that( while service didn't exist at all) So definitely not worthy to visit.

Para una velada verdaderamente especial. Saludo cálido y sabio de Guido maitre d. Excelente carta de vinos algunos a precios razonables. Busca los vinos taillevent Mario es un sumiller experto y servicial. Buen servicio desde cero. Ambiente romántico y profesionalidad francesa. Pero la clave es la comida. Creado por el chef stefanos es simplemente bellamente presentado y aún mejor para comer. Tuvimos la yema de huevo sí muy especial y el john dory El mejor. Y no precios estúpidos si se cuida el vino. Notable
