Mon Plaisir is London’s oldest family run French restaurant, occupying 19–21 Monmouth Street in Covent Garden. Its intimate dining rooms combine vintage French artefacts, original 1940s character and echoes of Montmartre, creating the atmosphere of a traditional Parisian bistro in the heart of the West End.
Seasonal menus celebrate familiar French cooking with dishes such as onion soup, escargots, confit de canard and freshly baked baguettes. Careful sauces, pastries, fish and meat preparations reflect classical technique, while vegetarian choices and adaptable dishes help the kitchen welcome guests with different dietary needs.
French wine provides a natural partner for the food, and desserts such as crème brûlée and tarte Tatin offer a suitably traditional finish. Chef Sivasoruban draws on years spent working in Parisian brasseries, preserving the restaurant’s best loved classics while bringing seasonal energy to the wider selection.
The Royal Opera House and other Covent Garden theatres are only a short walk away, making the dedicated theatre menus especially useful before or after a performance. Four distinctive dining rooms, group bookings and private event options allow Mon Plaisir to suit romantic dinners, long lunches and larger celebrations.
Address: 19–21 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9DD, United Kingdom
