A Belgravia institution since the 1960s, La Poule Au Pot feels like it has been lifted straight from rural France. The dining room is intimate, candlelit, and filled with rustic décor — dried flowers, wooden beams, vintage trinkets — that create a timeless charm. The menu is resolutely traditional: French onion soup, coq au vin, duck confit, and hearty gratins that celebrate comfort over reinvention. Portions are generous, service is warm, and the atmosphere leans deeply romantic, making it a long-time favourite for couples. While the culinary scene around it has changed, La Poule Au Pot endures by offering a slice of nostalgia and authenticity — a reminder of why French bistros are cherished classics.
