Brasserie Blanc Threadneedle Street is a French restaurant at 60 Threadneedle Street in the City of London. Inspired by Raymond Blanc’s approach to generous seasonal cooking, the kitchen prepares its dishes from scratch and serves them in a high ceilinged room with an open kitchen, dramatic lighting, a lively bar and a mezzanine. The weekday schedule suits breakfast, business lunch, drinks or dinner near Bank.
A meal can begin with a twice baked cheese soufflé in a rich Cheddar sauce or Burgundian snails with garlic and herb butter. Other starters include beetroot terrine with horseradish sorbet, steak tartare, fish soup and seasonal tomato salad. A charcuterie board with baked Saint Marcellin, truffle honey, cornichons and baguette provides a sociable option for two.
Steaks are served with French fries, salad and garlic tomato, with sirloin, fillet and Chateaubriand among the cuts. Main dishes move from duck leg confit with dauphinoise and citrus sauce to sea bream with bouillabaisse, squid and artichoke. Slowly braised beef short rib offers a richer choice, while vegetable risotto, courgette galette and savoury pancakes ensure the menu has substantial meat free options.
French desserts, cheese and coffee give the meal a classic conclusion, supported by a wine list designed for the brasserie menu. The bar also serves Champagne, cocktails and aperitifs for visitors who are not staying for several courses. Seasonal set menus and private dining choices make the restaurant adaptable, while its warm service and central location keep the experience approachable rather than formal.
