Classy French Lunch
Spring leeks, pickled shittake, vinaigrette |
It wasn't long ago I had a fantastic dinner at Frenchie in Covent Garden, a slick modern French restaurant by Grégory Marchand. Lunch is a lot different to its dinner menu, with only a set menu on offer with 3 courses to choose from starters, mains and desserts. Price is a lot more affordable with 2 courses costing £22 (A single main course for dinner would set you back to £25.) and 3 courses at £28. My big question is, would the quality downscale due to money factor? Given the cheaper price I wouldn't mind the kitchen using cheaper ingredients, but I do expect the cooking standard and execution should be just as good.
