Bouchon Racine, Three Compasses

Found above the historic Three Compasses pub in Farringdon, Bouchon Racine is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional French bistro dining. Chef Henry Harris, renowned for his previous establishment Racine in Knightsbridge, brings his culinary expertise to this intimate setting, offering a menu that pays homage to the bouchons of Lyon. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and unpretentious, with coral-hued walls and classic wooden furnishings creating a cozy atmosphere that transports diners straight to the heart of France. The menu, presented on a daily-changing blackboard, features a selection of French classics executed with precision and passion. Signature dishes include rabbit with mustard sauce and smoked bacon, and the much-acclaimed crème caramel, which has garnered praise from critics and patrons alike. The wine list is predominantly French, complementing the robust flavours of the cuisine. Open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, Bouchon Racine offers an authentic French dining experience in the heart of Central London.
