Owner, sommelier, and former pro rugby player Thierry Tomasin scores a converted try at this distinctive French brasserie in Lancaster Gate. Styled with art deco mirrors and button-back banquettes in a 200-year-old converted former pub, Angelus has a reputation for unrivaled Paris-style brasserie cuisine. The foie gras crème brûlée, egg cocotte, Dover sole with scallops, or steamed sea bass are as good as they get. Light bites, such as beef tartare, salmon and beetroot, or banana bread, are served at the bar. Tomasin is sure to select a classy bottle from the comprehensive wine list focused mainly on France.
