A useful bolt-hole if you don't fancy the Opera House bars, this Covent Garden veteran is determinedly French in outlook. Done out with mini-chandeliers, dark alcoves and prints of prima ballerinas, the studiously inoffensive basement bar fills up quickly at peak times; a late licence allows for more protracted post-show drinking.
Wines are split between France and vins étrangers, with an emphasis on the former, especially among the reds. Although the menu descriptions are an exercise in risible pseudo-winespeak, the quality is sound and there are around eight of each colour by the glass.
Bar food is standard brasserie fare: starters of steak tartare, omelettes, own-made terrine, along with some large salads and mains such as rib-eye steak and moules marinière.

Food average and service terrible, over priced and over-rated. We were asked to leave our table at 10.10pm, as they needed it for a 9.00pm booking, but we were still eating because they were so slow!!
The old reviews are good but recent ones are the new reality - dry and burnt chicken, limp salad, disappointing desserts. Something really wrong despite clean linens and decent wine list.
We went to Cafe des amis and the food was not great and the service was awful!
