— a cozy French bistro in Belgravia.
La Poule au Pot opened in 1964 in Westminster. Since then, the restaurant has preserved its authentic atmosphere — an ideal place for dates, dinners with friends, or a romantic evening by candlelight.
The interior feels like a time capsule: aged wood, dried flowers, antique details, soft lighting, and small tables create an intimate and cozy mood. It’s a place where time seems to have stopped — in the best possible way.
The menu is traditionally all-French. Expect classic dishes: onion soup, escargot, boeuf bourguignon, magret de canard with foie gras. The special charm lies in generous portions, the rich use of butter, salt, and goose fat, all served on vintage tableware.
Among the main highlights is the signature dish poule au pot — chicken with vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, carrots), served in traditional clay cookware, evoking the feeling of homemade French cuisine.
