L’Entente Paris – The Restaurant That Serves Solely British Food

The restaurant not only serves solely British food, but also respects the all-day Sunday brunch. Tea can be served at all times, yet is mostly common around 5 o’clock, and visitors can enjoy all meals, from breakfast to dinner.

L’Entente is the city’s first British brasserie and serves foods such as scotch eggs, apple crumble, fry-ups, and shepherd’s pie. It is located on 13 rue Monsigny and serves breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and the all-day Sunday brunch.

Englishman Oliver Woodhead has been living in Paris for the past 20 years, and has hatched the restaurant’s plan over 10 years ago. However, it has only now come to fruition, after many years of hard work. The biggest challenge, in Oliver’s words, was convincing French people of the merits of the British cuisine; today, the restaurant is a hit with Parisians.

“It is of course what we all grew up with and hence only natural that I want to share this,” Oliver said

He also mentioned that it is the “quality of our ingredients, the simplicity of our dishes” is what makes their dishes “pure”.

When asked about Parisians’ preferences, Oliver said that they are currently enjoying the Shepherd’s Pie and Fish Cakes, with Hake and the trimmings from organic Glen Arm smoked salmon.

The menu also includes porridge soaked in Earl Grey tea, Ham Hock Terrine, Chutney and Toast, as well as Jerusalem Artichoke Soup.

Even though the restaurant was opened 3 months ago, it has already been visited by big fashion icons such as Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacbos, as well as former French president Francois Hollande.

L’Entente is open from 11am until midnight and will soon be open for breakfast, too. Moreover, it features an all day Saturday and Sunday Brunch.
