Mon Plaisir - Piatti

but if they are after a little french in the center of london, they try mon plaisir, they serve well directly forward typical and traditional French cuisine. they also get to practice their French, the waiters are very polite and friendly, even after a graceful decision to speak and order French,

Cosy and beautiful place. You can get the pre-theatre menu if you want to pay less than sometimes on Mondays they have accordion player which adds to the atmosphere!The service was great each time I have been there but the food is often just ok. I would say it is a worth a visit as a pre-theater meal because of the atmosphere.

Staff was neither friendly nor smiled. The service is rather long. The meat was not tender at all, nor particularly well presented, is supposedly be a French restaurant, but in France we do not find all this quality of food in restaurants. The wine was very warm. It's really a shame knowing that owners and most employees are French. Visualizza piatti

A slice of old-school France in the centre of Covent Garden!Ask for a table upstairs and you can while away a happy afternoon with some superb traditional French grub. Great Muscadet on offer with some wonderful fish last time I went.And don't let the sneer of the waiter deter you they DO take bookings and WILL let you choose the table YOU want!! ;

better if I were French. Once we set ourselves and got our menus, we were generally ignored. it seemed as if the waiting staff had spided us on Americans because of our akzents (even if we are Canadian) and decided not to serve us. my family and I sat around the same time as the French couple next to us (about 5 minutes before.) while we almost completely ignored service modes, they were served with a luminous efficiency. frustrating, the waiters let us wait almost 2 hours before we got our main meal while the French couple had eaten next to us their appetizers, net dessert, and had paid and left until it arrived. the one waiter spent 10 minutes talking...read more

here was a little late tonight and they were charming. the restaurant decoration and design was intimate and comfortable 4 small dining rooms. the menu looked great and there was a special menu that also looked lubricated. but then we found out that there was only one service on a main course that insisted! plus also 2/3 items on the Maiin menu were out. we can find something, but in a quiet restaurant that was irritating! the service was clumsey and attentive, it seemed to be a lot personal, but not at our table. the weeping we drank were good and good prices for a place of this class. the food was excellent. the chef pulled it out despite the staff! I am very quiet...read more Visualizza piatti

An old-school dining establishment in the heart of Covent Garden, which oozes French charm (complete with vintage Ricard adverts and similar memorabilia), Mon Plaisir is a place that any fan of French cuisine simply has to check out. The food is delicious and traditional, it's in no way minimalist but rather an assortment of classic dishes done to perfection: the coq au vin is a particular highlight, as are the petit-pois with cream and bacon mixed in. The restaurant also boasts a tremendously inexpensive set-menu for lunch and pre-theatre. It is worth visiting for the decor alone make sure you request a table at the front for this, at the back room is still nice but lacks the same...read mo...

We've been eating at Mon Plaisir before and after plays and on special occassions now for about a decade. It's authentically French and gives you the chance to show off with a few choice bon mots.I think one of the main reasons we've stayed loyal to Mon Plaisir as a family is that Dad rather likes the lingerie shop next door. Needless to say the rest of us find this a bit creepy!The first time we came here I ate perfect French onion soup followed by a rare entrecote steak frites with creamy peas with lardons. And it was so good that I have eaten the same thing each time! In many ways the peas are the star of the show. A bit like a pea carbonara they're so good they'll have you hooked like a...

I haven't been for years but I was very much looking forward to a return trip to Mon Plaisir. After hunting high and low on Monmouth Street to find it (a sense of direction was never my strong point)I entered into one of those traffic jam situations when everyone stands around looking gormless with a kerfuffle of coat-taking and the like. It was worse for me as my nose was chilly wind-induced running(nice)and the first thing I did was to ask for a tissue which got em. By the time I was offered a serviette (napkin?)my host thought I was being most strange just hovering there not going to the table.Anyway. At the table, I sat myself down, and said host offered me a sip of his kir royale, sayin... Visualizza piatti
