Florian

Days that start at Florian carry a glow, like the spun-gold light that hits the tables outside, which are rarely empty, even on a Tuesday. Fat gruyere-filled omelettes and eggs Florian (with bearnaise and cavolo nero) are breakfast non-negotiables. From noon, hearty plates invite a long lunch, featuring the likes of lamb ragu and handmade pappardelle with wine or cocktails. If you’re on the go, the new takeaway spot next door acts as an all-day providore, stocking petite baguettes, focaccia pockets, salads and the beloved chicken sangas.

Good to know: Florian’s farmhouse chic is yours to shop at its next-door homewares store.
