Baudry Greene is a sister establishment to 10 Cases and Parsons serving traditional European cuisine with a subtle lean towards classic French dishes. Owners Will Palmer and Ian Campbell named this most recent venture after their wives’ respective maiden names, continuing the tradition from Parsons which was coincidentally both of their mothers’ maiden names.
Emulating the same ambience of its siblings of casual yet high quality food, this all day café, patisserie and venoisserie offers a relaxed setting throughout the morning and afternoon, seamlessly transforming into a small plates wine bar in the evening. Inside, you’ll find an intimate setting with marble tables, counter seating, and cosy nooks, perfect for a morning coffee and croissant or glass of wine and nibble.
The menus change frequently during the day and all comprise simple yet tasty dishes. For breakfast, pop in for a pastry or tartine au beurre with salted butter and seasonal jam, with cooked options including boiled egg and soldiers, porridge with fig and pistachios, and mushrooms on toast. At lunch expect a stellar lineup of classic sandwiches made with in-house bread, and plates like roast chicken salad, croque monsieur, and leek and potato soup with lardons, crème fraiche and a pretzel roll. Small plates are the highlight during an evening at Baudry Greene, with the choice to indulge as much as you fancy. Light nibbles include gordal olives, truffled egg, and gruyere bites, with more substantial plates including trout roe with blinis and crème fraiche, nduja sausage roll, and brie and black truffle toastie.
To accompany your meal, or just to enjoy on its own, there are classic cocktails like a gin or vodka Martini and Negroni, as well as popular beers and an extensive collection of spirits, vermouths and liqueurs. The European wine list is modest but has all you could need, including Champagne and sweet wine, all of which are available by the glass and carafe.
