Blanchette Soho is a French bistro serving simple, classic and inventive French food. Our concept is based on the idea of sharing, from smaller snacks such as, charcuterie and cheese, to larger traditional dishes with a Blanchette twist. A fine selection of drinks, including a variety of French wines and classic cocktails, are also available.

Founded in 2013 by brothers Maxime, Malik and Yannis, the quintessentially Parisian restaurant is named after their mother. Maxime and Yannis have, between them, almost 30 years of experience in hospitality having worked in top restaurants across London, New York and Paris.

Music also plays a big part at Blanchette, with Malik, founder of sound design company La Musique du Faubourg, providing the soundtrack to ensure a buzzing and convivial atmosphere.

    Visited this lovely restaurant to celebrate my partners birthday and wow this little gem did not disappoint. From arrival the staff were very friendly and welcoming, always checking if we were okay and that the food was okay which was really lovely. The food itself was not cheap but worth every penny as the flavours were delicious. Don't expect big portions but expect big flavours! The time we were there the aubience was simply lovely. Highly recommend and will be visiting again in the future. Thank you Blanchette!

    We first ate here two years’ ago and last night celebrated our 2nd anniversary here- and had another great eve. Delicious food- beef cheeks were the best ever, excellent service, and fun and attentive ( but not overly) Aussie barman. Such a great little French bistro. Thank you for making our evening even more special, we’ll definitely be back!

    Had lunch at Blanchette on a busy, pre-Christmas lunchtime. The food was perfect, service warm and friendly, the restaurant looked great and was pretty full, but not too noisy. Great experience.

    Fantastic service in a lovely cozy but lively setting. Slightly overcooked duck the only misstep. Snacks were superb.
