Maison François brings the character of a contemporary French brasserie to St James’s, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in an elegant but relaxed dining room. The open kitchen adds energy to the space and gives guests a view of the careful preparation behind each service.
The cooking draws on familiar French traditions while placing seasonality and simplicity at the centre of the menu. Fresh produce is handled with restraint, allowing clear flavours to stand out across vegetable dishes, seafood, meat and classic accompaniments.
Bread and patisserie are important parts of the experience, with baked goods prepared by the restaurant’s in house bakery. These sit alongside thoughtfully prepared starters, substantial main courses and refined desserts that reflect the detail expected from a modern French brasserie.
Downstairs, Frank’s offers a more intimate deli and wine bar setting for drinks, small plates and relaxed gatherings later in the day. Private dining spaces and a terrace provide further options for celebrations, business meals and longer occasions in the heart of central London.
Address: 34 Duke Street, St James’s, London, England SW1Y 6DF, United Kingdom
