Denise's Restaurant, London 

Denise's Restaurant, 79 South Hampton Row, London, GB

Denise's Restaurant

Denise’s has barely changed since it opened in 1989. On any given day over half the diners are regulars. "Hello! So nice to see you!" says amiable owner/manager Denise, ushering them in as if into her own lounge. Some have come from abroad; most have been coming for years, finding comfort in the familiar dated burgundy wallpaper, carpet and chairs. Equally as welcome are the down-to-earth traditional French dishes; creamy chicken grand mere, a slap up steak au poivre (from the chef’s specials), Gascon specials, and a daily fish special. The warmth of the atmosphere can’t be overstated; Denise’s heartfelt hospitality (all too rare these days) pervades her front room, sorry - restaurant.

Average Price:£24 and under
