When Greg Marchand began working in the London restaurant Fifteen, it’s owner, Jamie Oliver dubbed him “Frenchie” because he was the only French person in the kitchen. The name stuck, and now it graces Marchand’s Paris restaurant, as well as his other endeavors: a wine bar, “Frenchie to Go,” a cookbook and a London outpost.
The menu (of original and reinvented classics) at Frenchie Covent Garden echos its Parisian counterpart, with simple, generous yet precise dishes heavily influenced by Greg’s travels. It references his experiences in kitchens across the world, from Gramercy Tavern in New York to beach bars in Spain, through to Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London, underpinned by his classical French training growing up in Nantes, north west France. His simple yet inspired cuisine includes trademark techniques such as house-smoked meat and fish, vibrant seasoning and fresh flavours, which will all shine through.
This two-floor Covent Garden outpost of his Parisian bistro and wine bar replicates his French original with a intimate, cosy décor and a relaxed café ambiance -designed by renowned set designer Emilie Bonaventure. The basement space, with open kitchen, can be configured to accommodate larger group dining or individual tables with several seats at the open kitchen. Upstairs, 18 seats at the bar are reserved for walk-ins.
In Paris this acclaimed restaurant is also next-to-impossible to score a reservation.
