London

Best French in London.

French cooking is a bet placed entirely on technique, which is why Harry likes scoring it: there is nowhere to hide. The stock either took two days or it didn't. The beurre blanc either held or it split. He is not paying for the accent or the candle — he is paying for the sauce work.
