Take a stroll down Monmouth Street, London and you'll discover a little piece of England that will remain forever French. Mon Plaisir, London's oldest Family run French Restaurant, has been a purveyor of the finest French cuisine for over half a century. The entente cordial hits you as you enter, and the French atmosphere is as thick as the waiters French accents. You'll find yourself surround by wonderfully original French artefacts, you could find yourself leaning against the pewter topped bar which once graced the lounge of a Lyonnais brothel.

    As always, one of my favourite places. The house salad starter was superb. The coq au vin would have benefited from longer cooking, in my opinion. Cotes du Rhone wine was very tasty and good value. I love tge authentic French ambience and service.

    Always love eating here. Great service as always. I'm not a massive wine buff but the person I was with said the French choice of wine wasn't the best!

    I love Mon Plaisir and have been going there for years, but I do think that recently the quality of the food has declined a little. It doesn't seem so hot a fresh as before, and I recently had the impression that my dish of guinea fowl had been waiting around a bit. The chips could have been hotter too. I go for the ambiance now rather than the food.

    Excellent food. Slight delay on entry, but nothing untoward. Best described as quirky, but in a good way A rather loud customer somewhat disturbed the ambience, but that is not the restaurant's fault. Well worth a visit. Onion soup and pork loin in a calvados sauce were superb.
