Androuet London -the perfect restaurant for a special occasion.


Occasion
Little B’s 10th Birthday family dinner. She had requested “no pub food and no Italian please”. By the tender age of 10 she’s already an advanced food lover and wanted nothing but a memorable family dinner out in the city of London.

Venue
Master cheese monger and maturing experts, the House of Androuet was established in Paris in 1909. Androuet London opened a year ago in the heart of the City, in Spitafields Markets. Centrally located between Liverpool Street Station and Shoredith Highstreet this is not only a cheese monger worth a visit for all food lovers but there’s also a true French Kitchen and a lovely restaurant hiding behind the shop, open for lunch and dinner. They serve sublimely authentic food made of the finest ingredients prepared with passion and care, served in glamourus French surroundings. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, the service from booking a table to leaving the restaurant -superb.
Old Spitalfields Market, 107b Commercial Street, London E1 6, UK + 44 (0) 20 7375 3168
