Chez Antoinette Covent Garden

You're wandering through the chaos of Covent Garden when you stumble into this genuine French bistro—the kind where they actually know what they're doing. Chez Antoinette slots itself into The Market Building with the kind of understated confidence that says the food doesn't need to shout. It's unpretentious French cooking done right: think coq au vin, properly executed duck confit, maybe some escargots if you're feeling it. The space has that warm, lived-in feel of a proper Parisian neighbourhood spot, all exposed brick and intimate corners.
