Petit Pois Bistro Restaurant Review: Classic French Cooking in ...

Review analysis
food   menu   desserts  

A french bistro style restaurant with charm, simple and quality led cooking – which always starts with a glass of bubbly, or two.

We didn’t visit Petit Pois for a rampage of eating through its entire menu, but instead on a Sunday to divulge in the restaurants latest offering – a beef bourguignon pie.

Inside it’s a mixture of quality beef, sourced from Nathan Mills at The Butchery – which has been slow cooked in smooth red wine and mixed with bacon lardons, shallots, juicy chestnut mushrooms, garlic and thyme.

It wasn’t until I spent some time in the Loire Valley that I realised the simple chocolate mousse could be so much more than simple, and Petit Pois makes you realise once again just why.

We had a lovely time at Petit Pois and while we didn’t quite spend hours tucking into its perfectly formed menu, this Sunday introduction was a reason to return.

Petit Pois Bistro, 9 Hoxton Square, London N1 6NU (020 7613 3689).

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £75 Not long after the Petit Pois Bistro opened in Hoxton Square, London, word began circulating about one of the desserts on offer.

There is a dish of frothy béarnaise made with handfuls of fresh tarragon and a serious bit of wrist action.

In the way of the classic dishes of the French bistro the Petit Pois is much more elemental than that.
