A Parisian Bistro & French Restaurant in Soho

9 D'Arblay St, London, W1F 8DR

One of the most special parts of the space is our hand-painted tile mural behind the bar, created exclusively for Blanchette by French artist Aldo Gigli. The mural depicts the landscape of Mathieu in Normandy, where Maxime, Yannis and Malik grew up, bringing a little piece of home into the heart of Soho. Over the years, it’s become one of the most recognisable and loved features of the restaurant.

French classics and exceptional wines in Soho.

Bienvenue à Blanchette

Since opening in 2013, Blanchette has been bringing the spirit of the Parisian neighbourhood bistro to the heart of Soho. Founded by brothers Maxime, Yannis and Malik Alary, the restaurant is inspired by the family recipes, traditions and generous hospitality they grew up with. Today, Blanchette continues to celebrate relaxed French dining, seasonal ingredients and the joy of sharing great food around the table.

Inspired by the neighbourhood bistros of Paris, Blanchette brings together seasonal French cooking, exceptional wines and warm hospitality in an intimate Soho setting. Join us for long lunches, pre-theatre dining, cocktails or unforgettable evenings around the table.

Gastronomy is not only about eating it is also about pleasure, freshness and conviviality.

One of my favourite haunts in Soho. The atmosphere is fantastic with great music and dimly lit modern French bistro style. Food is amazing, especially the chateaubriand and their signature crepe blanchette. A great option for first dates or for showcasing Soho for someone visiting from abroad.

Manuel Gil Ferreira

Lovely place with excellent, very accommodating, and fast service. The baroque décor and atmosphere are beautiful, it truly feels like dining in an intimate, elegant restaurant in France. The space is spotless, including the loos, and the food was simply divine. The quality, flavours, and taste were beyond words- absolutely ambrosial!
