Le Pot Lyonnais (36-40 Queenstown Road, London, London, SW8 3RY) I have the good fortune to have dined here regularly since it opened a few years ago – although my last visit took place on Friday 27th when I enjoyed a delicious brunch with my friend. My friends and I often joke that I'm terribly unoriginal when it comes to ordering – if I'm here for lunch I'll choose the burger (served with crispy frites, a wonderful aoli and a tasty portion of coleslaw). If I'm here for dinner I'll go for the steak frites – always cooked perfectly medium rare. I'm often tempted and highly satisfied by other choices from the regularly updated menu, but I'm similarly always happy to return to these two old favourites. Needless to say I find it very confusing that the previous reviewer didn't enjoy these dishes. I've taken numerous guests to Le Pot and I've never seen one unhappy face. The staff are always friendly and welcoming – and most of them are native French! Le Pot has such character and such charm, I can't recommend it highly enough.
