Bonne Santé restaurant & cocktail bar

You're walking through the Barbican, past the Tudor and Stuart facades, and tucked into the right side of the Custom House you'll find yourself in something properly special. Bonne Santé feels like a proper neighbourhood spot that happens to serve excellent French food and cocktails that actually know what they're doing. The setting is intimate without being stuffy—exposed stone walls and the kind of candlelit atmosphere that makes you want to linger over another glass of wine. It's the sort of place locals return to regularly, not because it's trying hard, but because the food and service just work.
