Angelus Review

Owner, sommelier, and former pro-rugby union player Thierry Tomasin scores with this distinctive French brasserie in Lancaster Gate. Styled with Art Nouveau mirrors and button-back banquettes in a 200-year-old converted former pub, Angelus has a reputation for unrivaled Paris-style brasserie de luxe cuisine. The foie gras crème brûlée, egg cocotte, frog's legs and snails, partridge ballotine, or chocolate soufflé are as good as they get. Light bites, like steak sandwich, are served at the bar, service is notoriously Gallic, and Tomasin is sure to select an interesting bottle from the off-beat wine list.
