Le Beaujolais

This is my new favorite place in London. Amazing wine list. Friendly French staff. A quiet respite from your usual London pub. Good looked delicious.

Cute little French wine bar in soho. Delicious wine and not over priced. Friendly service and nice vibe. Looks like a place for regulars.

Wow, what a gem - I can't believe I've been missing out all these years. Friends remembered Le Beaujolais a private dining club from yonks back but the ground floor restaurant is open to all.

There was a time when London was full of unassuming yet quirky restaurants offering Italian or French home cooking. Most have since been replaced by fusion street food pop up chains, so good to see that some have survived and it's never too late to discover Le Beaujolais!

I'm no connoisseur and always struggle a bit with French wines, they have a good choice of wines by the glass and you'll hit on something you like eventually.

The food menu is stuffed with comfort foods for any appetite - they really do offer a single boiled egg!! While one friend decided on a tapas style selection of meats and cheeses, another opted for the creamy fish pie (very creamy!) and I couldn't resist the beouf bourgiugnon. I was very happy to exchange the suggested rice side with mashed potato - yum! More meat than I normally eat in a week, went home fat and happy.

Lovely staff, too and the whole room is decorated with posters, ties and crockery hang from the ceiling - and I even spotted a bicycle stored in the rafters. Loved it and can't wait to find an excuse to return.

If you want French wine and French cheese go there!!!
I love this bar, very nice bar, very French owner and very nice staff!
:)

This is a very quirky little place but highly enjoyable. It is a great location very close to Leicester Square tube. The bar itself is not big but has loads of atmosphere. The owner also goes out of his way to get everyone seats and settled. Which did result in us moving seats several times but that was quite fun as everyone was then chatting - very not london!
They do food but we just went for drinks - a couple of bottles of prosecco which was good.
I really liked this place - not sure if I would want to spend an entire evening there but it is great for pre dinner drinks

What a little gem! Doesn't look like much from the front but inside its like you've been transported to France. Not massive but will seat around 30 and has a lovely bar area to perch. Very good selection of wine (French of course) and although quite expensive it was very tasty. Plumped for the house red carafe and was very pleasantly surprised. A quaffable wine that didn't need food however did succumb to the cheese board. Comes with bread, biscuits and a choice of 4 or 8 cheeses.
Atmosphere very jolly and felt very appropriate for a Thursday. Got the locals who check in and out on the locals board but also catered for business types and passerbys. No tourist that I could see in there and staff were perfect. French family I think that own and run the place so very authentic.

Apparently i am 'so french' that my friend feels the need to take me to french places when going out. Well it's rather a good call for i really enjoyed the festive french atmosphere of Le Beaujolais.

The bar isn't too big so you'll have to push through when you want to go anywhere but it is more convivial than annoying.
The menu offers several possibilities from bottles to glass. You'll find less choice in the glass section but it's good if you only want one drink or if you want to taste different wines (if you do, start with dry whites, then liquorish/sweet whites, then reds Bordeaux being the strongest so the last ones to try).
I recall they also make cheese and 'charcuterie' platters. I recommend you try it for it's one of the greatest french inventions ;).

I love the way the place is decorated. They hung ties to the ceiling and the walls are covered in french references. It's funny and make a darkish cosy atmosphere.

Amazing service (French staff), great selection of French wines. Didn't try the food but looked delicious from the nearby tables!

A secret piece of France in the heart of London
I love this place for its simplicity & lack of any
pretentiousness.
My favourite the Boeuf Bourgignon is a good price
& with a glass of wine, the meal is well under £20.
Go for an after dinner drink at the French House in
Dean Street a short walk away

What an awesome little wine bar! Kudos to my friend Erica U who discovered this most excellent of places. Le Beaujolais serves up generous glasses of fine wine for a very reasonable price, and has a unique style about the whole thing. I've been in many a wine bar (probably more than my liver would like) but this is the first one that has enough ties hanging from the ceiling to stock a men's boutique and there is even a bicycle hidden in the rafters. It's what you'd expect if you emptied out your parents' attic and garage and then decorated your flat. It's odd, not doubt about that, but strangely endearing at the same time.

The two main waiters/hosts/sommeliers are massive flirts in the way that only old Europeans can be, staying just on the right side to be charming rather than dodgy. They remember their regulars and are not too worried about personal space. They do have excellent taste in wine so don't feel afraid to ask for a suggestion or two.

All in all, this place is perfect for a catch up with friends although perhaps a little too cosy for a first date. It's fun, relaxing, and you could easily spend an evening here sipping wine. The quiche is supposed to be fantastic so I'm looking forward to a return visit rather than pre-dinner drinks! But if you do fancy a larger meal, Hawksmoor is just around the corner...
