A taste of France in the restaurants of South Kensington, London
These few square miles of the UK capital have a particularly high density of French expats, and this is reflected in the choice of Gallic restaurants in London's South Kensington. These range from traditional French brasseries where you feel like you're stepping back in time to Paris in the 1920s to others specialising in succulent fish dishes and rustic Provencal cooking. There are even places where you can explore the exotic world of Franco-Asian fusion – think sea-bass with miso sauce, crispy duck and other tangy delights. The restaurants in London's South Kensington are well worth an extra trip.
