GAZETTE
SOUTH KENSINGTON
Set inside the "Institut Francais", the London temple for French culture, GAZETTE is settled right in the heart of the French quarter of South kensington.
Perfect as an addition to a visit to the Institute, after a movie or a reading in the listed library, or simply to enjoy proper French food in a very French environment. Expect the usual comfortable banquette and tables to play on, but we also feature a large bar counter ideal for cocktails and coffees.

MENUS
A la carte
Desserts
This is our regular menu available all day, it changes monthly and follows each season with the products it offers.
​
From the best beef tartare in town, made at your table, to the “12 snails“ platter and some great classics, everything in our kitchen is cooked on site by our people, we make our own terrines, our own sauces, with ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers that have worked with Chef Pascal Even for decades.
​
Breakfast & Brunch is also served until 3pm.
Start the day “VaVaVoom” with a good cup and all you need for the right kick off.
Fresh juices, smoothies and milkshakes, freshly cooked buttered croissant and pain au chocolat, and our sourdough baguette is served with some delicious homemade Jams & marmalades.
Start the day “à la Française”.
If you expect a piece of paper with a couple ot tarts on it, you're in for a treat, GAZETTE takes dessert far too seriously.
Chocolate should be one of the five a day and Soufflé should be compulsory on dessert menus !!!
Fondant, crème brûlée , soufflé, it's all there together with some delicious ice-cream combination and our unique "upside down" apple tart.
Quick Lunch
The bell rings at midday for our quick 2 or 3 course menu, it changes regularly and offer a fast way of getting a seasonal menu full of flavours.
Available Monday to friday until 2.30pm (excludes bank holidays)

Everyday is a special day
WINE LIST
We love classics, and we love discoveries, with nearly 200 references we focus on variety, upcomers and lots of "old school" too.
Most of our wines, including our very own house wine, are sourced directly in France and are exclusive to us, we also work with a couple of local wine merchants in LONDON to add variety.
But the House wine always says a lot about the quality of a restaurant, so try us !!! to make sure we know where it's from, well we do it ourselves.

​
TEAS & COFFEES
We are so serious about coffee that we only work with the best, so we partnered with the Julius Meinl house who supply us with not only great coffee but also "state of the art" equipment and regular training, just to make sure you get the best cup.
We are also extremely proud to be the only restaurant serving the prestigious teas and herbals of the Whittard of Chelsea brand, providing us with a unique selection, and sharing their passion about tea, and as importantly, how to serve it.
COCKTAILS
Our GAZETTE Bloody Mary is well worth "le detour", we like it with a hint of horseradish for the kick, our Martinis can be classic but we do them funky too, and our Negroni is just clinical !!!
​
And what's not to like in our liquid desserts? a selection of desserts to drink including the "slow death by chocolate".
