Cuisine de Bar by Poilâne, London - Pursuitist

Review analysis
food  

Famed Parisian bakery, Poilâne, opened an all-day café recently in Cadogan Gardens near Sloane Square.

The Chelsea-based Cuisine de Bar by Poilâne is French luxury by way of heavenly, artisanal bread perfectly cooked in a wood-fire oven.

The casual eatery serves up a menu of classic French dishes, including the famous Poilâne pastries and croissants, as well as eggs, freshly prepared tartines, soups and salads.

But for those in search of the ultimate indulgent snack to cozy up to with your afternoon tea, the dangerously delicious Punition, Poilâne’s signature butter biscuits, will become your new obsession.

Or if you’re feeling like the next Julia Child, you can choose from a small selection of Poilâne specialty items (i.e. the luscious fruity jams or an assortment of walnut and rye loaves) to take home with you, filling your abode with the incredibly scrumptious smell of freshly baked bread and, thus, convincing your neighbors you’ve started a French patisserie in your apartment.

Although I’m from San Francisco where there are quite a number of excellent bread bakeries, there’s something special about the bread at Poilâne – it has a certain flavor, just the right tang of sourdough, dark and husky but with an agreeable légèreté that makes it the perfect bread for sandwiches, to accompany cheese, or as I prefer it, as morning toast with little puddles of salted butter collecting in the irregular holes and a thin layer of bitter chestnut honey drizzled all over it.

Both were lovely people and Monsieur Poilâne was animated and still excited about the bakery he’d owned seemingly forever, which was (and still is) considered the best bread in the world.

Many cafés in Paris offers two versions of the croque-monsieur, one made on standard white bread, the other, with pain Poilâne.

Aside from saving maybe a bit of pocket change, I’m not sure why anyone would choose the white bread, when they could be eating a warm ham and cheese sandwich on wood-fired Poilâne bread.

Unlike other places that discourage guests from looking around, perhaps snapping a quick picture, or hiding what they do, at Poilâne it’s possible to go see the enormous wood-fired oven downstairs (although arrangements now need to be made in advance, since the bread bakers were having trouble getting all their daily loaves baked off with us bystanders poking around down there) and you’re welcome to buy one slice of bread, or a whole loaf, sans problème.

Poilâne, the renowned French Artisan bakery, which already has a shop open on Elisabeth Street is to open its first London restaurant on Cadogan Gardens in Chelsea.

The all-day dining restaurant will, as you might expect, feature bread from its nearby shop and its unique feature will be the eating bar.

From there, you'll be able to order tartines and more and watch as the restaurant's chefs prepare them for you.

You'll also have the opportunity to take home bread and pastries from the bar.

In a move which mightily pleases Hot Dinners, the restaurant will have free wi-fi in a room which offers plenty of natural light from a huge skylight.

This is the ultimate place for some truly delicious French breakfast!

I have been coming here for quite a while now and if you are lucky enough to sit in for breakfast then go all out and have some of their salted caramel spread or pear and vanilla jam with your pastries.

FishWorks Piccadilly | Restaurants in Mayfair, London

drinks   food  

The Mayfair branch of this small chain of seafood restaurants is handsome and cleverly designed, thanks to dark wooden furniture, greeny-grey colours, and the nifty use of wine racks to divide up the space.

Most of the fish is from Devon and the south coast.

Options range from oysters, whole Devon crab and Nova Scotia lobster thermidor to seared yellowfin tuna nicoise, Arbroath smokies with a freshly poached duck egg and chervil butter, lobster linguine and oven-roasted sea bass with fresh lemon thyme, olive oil and Cornish sea salt.

The wine list focuses on whites, though some reds do feature, too.

FishWorks' sister branch is in Marylebone.
