Bienvenue à French SocietyA bistro? Yes. But not just any. Parisian charm flirting with modern soul."At the heart of a great restaurant, there are always people… & their dogs!"This new venture is brought to life by the same famille behind Patron in Kentish Town. At its centre is Louis, chef de cuisine & maestro des plats, whose hands have shaped the kitchen at Patron for over 7 years, now bringing his vision to this new chapter, a petite sœur bistro that draws inspiration from its predecessor while embracing a new unique direction.“It’s a place where you’ll want to return to time & time again, to bask in the energy of the crowd, to be a part of a community, or to enjoy a quiet moment alone. It is a place that feels alive & timeless in its warmth, like a perfectly aged Bordeaux—luxurious, but never too proud to share a joke. It’s a place where time seems to linger, where the conversations flow as effortlessly as the wine.”

We also host weekly wine flights, exploring three wines from a different country alongside something to eat, as well as regular collaborations and wine evenings.In the summer months, sova also has a small street-side terrace.
Kitchen W8 is that rare thing – a genuinely relaxed and friendly Michelin-starred neighbourhood restaurant. Our multi-award-winning chef, Mark Kempson, is renowned for the skill and precision he employs to produce intensely flavourful dishes of deceptive simplicity. His ingredient-led approach means that our menus always use the best of seasonal produce from farmers and fishermen we admire.Mark is also an advocate for cooking with wild food and the connection to nature that this brings. Ingredients from venison, to game birds, to chanterelles to hedgerow fruits often grace our menus depending on the season. Wild food requires no agricultural intervention and delivers fantastic purity of flavour, inspiring Mark to create exceptional and original dishes.It is this passion for food and attention for detail, together with our polished and friendly front of house service, that had seen Kitchen W8 awarded one Michelin star for 15 successive years.Mark, Allegra & the Kitchen W8 Team.

Opened in 1984 by passionate chef Sally Clarke, this local legend on Kensington Church Street has become a firm favourite with professional critics and amateur gourmets alike. For 21 years, Sally served a four-course ‘no choice’ set dinner, but now there is a daily-changing menu that showcases her passion for high quality seasonal produce. Herbs and vegetables come from organic suppliers in South East England; buffalo mozzarella is flown in from Naples twice a week; and shellfish is sent overnight by rail from Scotland. Popular dishes include loin of Balmoral roe deer with apple and sage sauce; baked fillet of Cornish brill with datterini tomatoes and flowering thyme; dark chocolate and chestnut tart. Clarke’s is quite simply an unforgettable experience.
