Eat at Mon Plaisir

Though their claim to be London's oldest French restaurant seems to be a little optimistic, given that they've only been around since the 1940s, your author passed a very pleasant evening yesterday at Mon Plaisir on Monmouth Street in Covent Garden.


The basic set menu was good, and the house red was perfectly drinkable, whilst others in the restaurant seemed to be a mixture of those who had dined there before and were taking advantage of their knowledge of the further reaches of the specials menu and the fine-looking cheeseboard. Though the bill was significant, it was not overly expensive and the 12.5% service charge meant there was no tipping anxiety.
