Great food. Good service although server was a little rushed off his feet. Lovely ambience. Will definitely return and can recommend.

We had one night in London and landed on a reservation here (definitely get a reservation). The only con was that they probably needed one more server on, but everything else was perfect. The hostess was fantastic and accommodating when we got stuck in traffic and I heard her giving great descriptions of wine. The atmosphere is so cozy/romantic (some of the tables are quite close but not all). Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t get over the prices, was expecting a lot higher. Would definitely recommend for a date night or group of 4 out!

We had the fixed price weekday lunch - two choices of starter and main, one of dessert. We tried all the dishes and they were all excellent. Mussels were exceptional. Service was great. Lovely ambiance. ❤️

Nice small restaurant in Soho. The food was amazing mainly the best braised beef cheek I ever tasted and the honey cheese was great too. Special thanks to Lina who was nice and professional and suggested for me the food

We found this spot as we scooted around london and wanted to dine alfresco. The seabream and cured egg yolk tartare was a really perfect dish so while it’s on the menu please go get it! The duck was decent, with the skin glazed and roasted well. Seabass and heirloom tomatoes was a refreshingly tasty main. Good food, not spectacular, but enjoyable. I’d would say the best part was the delightful French brunette host that greeted and served us that evening. A real pleasure!

What a find, will be back. Wine, food, service, atmosphere - all on point. Not terribly expensive either. Went with friends and we all ordered different dishes to see how they came out - and every one was sublime. A good concept of ‘French tapas’ style dining that encourages sharing and tasting of the many flavours on offer. And it all tastes better after a bottle of Côtes du Rhône doesn’t it?

Went in for the lunch menu, and thought it was really worth the price and quality! The atmosphere is cute and rustic, the bread and butter was amazing (just too bad it was extra cost, unlike in France) and served warm. The mussels were very generous! Not all of the dishes were French, some were a bit more Italian inspired like the pea risotto or the Bhaji appetiser, but everything tasted delicious!

Food is in good quality but nothing exceptional. I’d say it’s a simple restaurant with beautiful decorations. The pink table we got stand out from the others. I’d change that similar to the other classy wooden tabletops.
Services was great. That french girl told us some historical background. She was friendly and open very engaging but not intrusive at all.
The background music is the first thing I would change to something traditional French old music that matches the ambient.

Popped in for a quick set lunch. Loved it! Authentic French experience in the heart of soho. Good food and wine and the set menu was good value as well as delicious. Looking forward to coming back!

YouTube video recommended this in a top 10.
They were spot on. I had the starters and cheese along with a cheese plate. All were a top tasting quality. The cheese dish I was familiar with but still impressed. The BBQ prawns blew me away, and the lamb croquettes were also excellent tasting but took a second seat to the prawns which is saying a lot.
The drinks including the Negroni were done about as right as one can expect.
The atmosphere being lunch in SOHO was peaceful despite being near major streets.
The people were nice and helpful.
All of the above including the price made me consider going back which was a tough call because I wanted to try so much in London.
I highly recommend Blanchette.
