When it comes to French cooking, most people’s minds are drawn to the thought of excessive amounts of butter, cream sauces, and generous glugs of wine being poured into the pans, but this charming eatery is inspired by something a little fresher and healthier. L'Amour Bistro is set in the heart of Fulham, and hopes to combine a newer technique with classic French traditions, for all of West Londoners and beyond to enjoy. The interior is simple yet effective with dark woods, brown leather chairs, and royal blue walls, creating the perfect backdrop to the impressive drinks shelf behind the bar.
On the food menu, you can expect the rich history of French cuisine that’ll have you transported to a roadside café on the 6th arrondesment, whilst still being executed in a lighter way. Expect classics like escargot, bavette with sautéed baby potatoes, or moules marinière with plenty of chips to mop up the extra sauce. On top of those, there are options like roasted duck breast with sweet potato mash or sea bream with creamy polenta and tenderstem broccoli. The desserts list is an accumulation of fan favourites, such as crème brulee, apple tarte tatin, and chocolate mousse.
Wines are well stocked, hailing from many regions across France, and offer more familiar bottles of Côtes du Rhône to the lesser known Lesc. For those with who like a glass of something sweet with their dessert, there’s even a sauternes up for grabs.
No stranger to offering a bargain, L'Amour Bistro offers multiple deals throughout the week such as steak nights on a Monday where guests can get a ribeye steak, chips and salad for a mere £16 or burger night Wednesdays with burger, chips and a free glass of beer or house wine for £12. If that wasn’t enough, you’ll get a free glass of prosecco when you dine on these two evenings.
