Cheyne Walk Brasserie

Cheyne Walk Brasserie offers simple yet brilliantly executed brasserie dishes in a luxurious, Chelsea riverside setting. It is the culmination of simple creative ideas, founded in design, historical value and a passion for food and drink. Once a Victorian pub, 50 Cheyne Walk has metamorphosed into a chic, modern definition of a brasserie and salon. At the centre of the Belle Epoque dining room is an open grill where much of the Provençal inspired menu is prepared, including specialities such as rack of Pyrenean lamb and grilled sea bream. The pale olive exterior hints at the Gallic charm within, while frosted windows are reminiscent of a Rive Gauche brasserie. Inside, old meets new: sky blue banquettes sit alongside carver chairs in rich crimson, while simple wood floors contrast with dazzling ornate chandeliers. At the heart of the brasserie stands an open grill where the fresh seasonal produce is expertly prepared. The menu interprets timeless French brasserie favourites; starters (Duck liver terrine, Salmon Tartare, Green Beans Salad) are executed perfectly. Main courses include star Provençal fish dishes, borne out of Head Chef Olivier Ripert's love of the Côte d'Azur, such as Whole Grilled Sea Bass or Bouillabaisse. Salads feature the best sun-drenched Mediterranean ingredients in delicious combinations. Classic mains include Rib of Beef and Rack of Lamb, accompanied by Gallic sides like Gratin Dauphinois, while Crème Brûlée and Moelleux au Chocolat will satisfy the sweetest of teeth. Wines have been carefully selected to compliment the brasserie menu. Sommelier Caroline Jeannot has picked a vast array of French wines from some of the best terroirs in the world. The choice includes an impressive selection of fine wine as well as wines from Le Grand Sud; Mediterranean gems that pair excellently with the Provençal menu. The Salon upstairs is exceptional - with a stunning river view and sumptuous chaises longues to relax in whilst lingering over a cocktail or glass of fine wine. The Salon is also a unique venue for special events and parties.
