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.

We took our friends who are real foodies. We all absolutely loved the restaurant. We had the duck, cod and trout, all was superb. The ambiance is great, cosy yet also lively. The service was excellent, our waitress was very helpful and attentive, as well as being funny! We’ll be back!

Would be easy to walk straight past this great little bistro, with sensibly priced prix fixé at £20 and a good little wine list. Don’t walk past! Go in and grab a table.

Good restaurant. Some dishes were oversalted/others under. Service was good but the staff were overloaded once restaurant was full. Very nice wine list. Far too noisy though!
