Come the weekend, Mill Lane Bistro is quietly humming with guests enjoying a classic Gallic petit dejeuner. For many West Hampstead locals, breakfast at this Mill Lane eatery is a regular affair, but of course it’s merely a humble introduction to a quietly triumphant menu that bears the stamp of its curator Cyril’s French heritage and passion for French-style cuisine, not to mention his experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris and in London. The a la carte menu is judicious and surprisingly affordable; changing with the seasons, it’s not only as fresh as can be, but also inspires loyalty amongst those who’ve happened upon this gem just a short stroll from West Hampstead tube station.
Mill Lane Bistro’s premises are themselves part of this eatery’s allure. Set along a terraced row from which the bistro takes its name, West Hampstead’s Mill Lane, the writing on the wall quite literally indicates that you’ve stumbled upon a Parisian bar au vin in northwest London. Indeed, come winter months, there’s nothing better than taking a fireside seat in the very cosy Mill Lane Bistro and enjoying a drop from the well-stocked wine cellar (the French dominate, naturally) accompanied by the generous homemade charcuterie board or the French cheese board, and perhaps a couple of other friends, too, to allow for conversation.
