PERFECT FOR YOUR PALATE
Le Restaurant de PAUL Opens At Iconic City Skyscraper Tower 42
Located at the base of one of London’s iconic skyscrapers, the sleek all-day restaurant features authentic French cuisine with an introduction of gourmet burgers supplied by the Queen’s butcher Donald Russell, a destination wine, champagne and cocktail bar and in-house bakery. Situated within the Square Mile, Le Restaurant de PAUL is the
brand’s largest site to date, and brings a contemporary burst of colour and energy to the capital. Building on the strong foundations laid by the first Le Restaurant de PAUL, which opened on Covent Garden’s Bedford Street in 2014, the leading French artisan bakery and pâtisserie PAUL is designed to appeal to varied tastes and dining occasions, filled with regional one-pot dishes, sharing platters, seasonal salads and typical French savoury snacks as well as afternoon tea, freshly baked viennoisserie and fine pâtisserie. Many of PAUL’s dishes are inspired by family recipes passed down throughout its 125-year history, which pay homage to the cornerstones of casual French cookery.

London Restaurant Festival Over 350 restaurants across the capital will take part in a food extravaganza this month for the annual London Restaurant Festival. This year’s event includes restaurant-hopping tours where you can visit six restaurants in one day. Choose from Chinatown, Carnaby Village, Tapas Tours, Japanese Journeys, Victoria and Seven Dials and get a small plate and drink in each restaurant. If that doesn’t take your fancy you could opt for one of the Champagne Laurent-Perrier Gourmet Odysseys and get lunch at three top London restaurants - your first course in one, your main in another and dessert in a third. Koffmann’s and Trullo are just some of this year’s highlights. This year’s ‘Inspired by London’ dining experience will see the likes of Mark Hix, Marcus Wareing and Helene Darroze create a unique Sunday lunch that takes inspiration from other chefs, produce, sights or landmarks in the capital.
