Mon Plaisir - (Near Westminster, london)

Amelia Bowles Just visited Oorja and was really impressed. The food is full of bold, fresh flavours, and the menu has some really thoughtful twists without trying too hard. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, modern feel. A great spot for a casual dinner or a pre-theatre meal — I’ll definitely be going back.

Kerry Sieger My sister and I went to Brasserie Blanc on a whim. French just sounded better than Italian, which had been our original plan. We are so glad we went! Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was wonderful. I had escargots and sautéed mushrooms and artichoke hearts, finished with an apple tart. My sister had pate and pan fried trout finished with pistachio soufflé. We both had a glass of wine (Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon blanc, respectively). Every bit of the food was delicious. And the service! I jokingly mentioned to the waiter that I thought the vegan mushrooms and artichokes would taste better sautéed in butter, and he must have spoken to the chef because voila there was a distinct butter taste to my meal! The hostess was very friendly too, telling us the signature dessert (pistachio soufflé) and also mentioning the loyalty program at the restaurant (Le Club), which gave us a 25% discount. My sister and I enjoyed both the food and the service so much we’re planning to return tomorrow night, our last night in London, to try all the foods we didn’t get a chance to try tonight. I highly recommend Brasserie Blanc, especially the Chancery Lane location!

Natasha We walked in without a booking but this didn’t matter as we were immediately welcomed by our wonderful server Anuja. I had the chicken Pad Thai and duck spring rolls as a side, both tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Patrick This was my first time trying Burmese food. Very highly recommend going to this restaurant. Burmese food, to me, is much more similar to Thai food than I thought. As Thai, I’m very familiar with the Thai cuisine, and many of the flavours of Burmese cuisine reminded me of it. There are certain types of meats and curries that are clearly influenced by India/Nepal, making this a very interesting cuisine. I most recommend the mutton curry - by far the best dish I’ve had, and I’ve tried a few dishes at this place. The second meal I would recommend is the Mohinga, which is a national dish and similar to a Malaysian Laksa + Vietnamese vermicelli noodles. Food gets delivered super quick ~5-10 minutes. Staff are very friendly.

Sapan Chavda Was here for a quick meal before seeing some friends. Ordered a variety of dishes, and a cocktail. Familiar flavours, but done exceptionally well. Their Hawaiian Popcorn Chicken was a much larger portion than I was expecting! The Kalua pork taco was a bit too delicate for my liking, however hit on the flavour notes. The tofu and kimchi taquitos were crispy and easy enough to eat without making a big mess! I’d recommend this as a good date spot or catch-up with friends.

Alice Page Oh my goodness. Second time here and the food, experience and service is just as we remembered - 10/10. The Korean Chicken Wings, Wagu Bao Buns and Basque Cheesecake is so unbelievable we go from non-stop talking to absolute silence. A very good sign! Our favourite restaurant and, tonight, Angela was a delight. Thank you!!
