Bistro Bardot Wapping is a Provençal restaurant at 1 Green Bank, operating from the converted Turk’s Head pub. The owners set out to recreate the intimate atmosphere of the local restaurants and cafés they knew in Paris, with both indoor seating and a planted outdoor area.
Ingredients are sourced frequently and the menu changes with market availability, so dishes are prepared to order and may sell out. This approach supports a compact selection built around French and southern French flavours rather than an extensive fixed list.
Current dishes range from escargots with garlic and parsley butter to mussels with Pastis, grilled ribeye, stuffed calamari and cod with aioli. Vegetable plates, charcuterie and cheese provide sharing choices, while the dessert selection follows the same seasonal approach.
Sunday brunch adds eggs Benedict, eggs Florentine, avocado on toast and brioche pain perdu, with French aperitifs and cocktails complementing the food. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the day’s ingredients and preparation with the restaurant before ordering.
Address: 1 Green Bank, Wapping, London E1W 2PA, England
