LONDON Le Café Anglais Le Café Anglais in Whiteley’s in Bayswater has had a makeover and chef Rowley Leigh’s restaurant now boasts a new oyster bar and café. Open from midday to 10.30pm, the marble bar and 30-seat café offer an all-day menu and a more laid-back vibe than the main dining room. The oyster selection ranges from Carlingford Rocks and Loch Ryan Natives to imported Prestige Speciales Fines Claires and quirky Japanese Kumamotos. 8 Porchester Gardens, London W2, +44 (0)20 7221 1415, lecafeanglais.co.uk PARIS Le Gave de Pau This venerable institution, taken over by a young new owner, is disproving the myth that the traditional bistro is a dying breed. The décor is no frills, the cuisine cheap and cheerful with classic dishes like confi t de canard and tartare de bœuf alongside the more creative Camembert rôti aux amandes or a light mousseline de poisson in a white wine sauce. Be sure to book. Ce vénérable resto, repris par un jeune restaurateur, donne tort à ceux qui pensent que le bistrot est en voie d’extinction. La cuisine est bon marché avec des classiques tels que le confi t de canard et le tartare de bœuf, et d’autres plus créatifs comme le camembert rôti aux amandes ou la mousseline de poisson. Réservation conseillée. 147 rue de Charenton, 75012, +33 (0)1 43 44 74 11 Dans le centre commercial de Whiteley’s, à Bayswater, Le Café Anglais réaménagé et son chef Rowley Leigh s’enorgueillissent à présent d’un bar à huîtres et d’un café. Ouverts de midi à 22h30, le bar en marbre et le café de 30 couverts proposent un menu servi toute la journée dans une atmosphère plus décontractée que la salle principale. La sélection d’huîtres va des Carlingford Rocks et des Loch Ryan Natives aux importations telles que les fi nes de claire et les surprenantes kumamotos japonaises.
