Josephine Bouchon brings the warmth and conviviality of Lyon’s traditional bouchons to Chelsea. The dining room is a riot of vintage posters, patterned tiles, and cosy banquettes, creating a lively atmosphere that feels like stepping into a slice of France. The menu celebrates rustic French cooking: charcuterie boards, quenelles, coq au vin, and hearty plates designed for sharing. Wines are poured generously by the carafe, with an emphasis on Rhône and Burgundy, while desserts lean indulgent — expect île flottante or a mountain of profiteroles. It’s not about refinement but about generosity, warmth, and fun — a welcome reminder of why bouchons are loved for their soul.
