Reviews"Could spark joy in the saddest heart . . . The food is generously, memorably seasoned, and oil-, butter- or garlic-drenched . . . Really quite wonderful." - The Guardian, on Maison Francois "Maison François has being chic down to a fine art . . . It isn't the kind of food that shouts or pleads for your attention. Mais non, bébé. Instead it flirtatiously whispers with a dose of bone marrow on your escargot flatbread and the subtle crunch of breadcrumbs in the cabbage." - The Infatuation, on Maison Francois "Everything was delicious here . . . if you didn't have enough reasons to come to Maison François already, this should be it." - House & Garden, on Maison Francois "The go-to restaurant for the smart set." - Tatler, on Maison Francois "
