”Patron feels like a little corner of Paris tucked away in London 🇫🇷✨
A charming neighbourhood bistro serving classic French dishes, excellent wine, candlelit tables and a buzzing atmosphere (they even have a secret garden).
One for date nights and pretending you’re in Saint Germain for a few hours, don’t forget to order incredible chocolate mousse, absolutely to die for! 🍷🍽️
A true local gem. ✨”
Thank you for a fantastic review!
