La Poule au Pot is a saucy little number where you might entertain your secretary in the hope that she became your mistress. The darkness of the rustic interior is barely punctuated by candles, leaving plenty of scope for under-table naughtiness, whilst staff all have pleasingly authentic French accents. The food is similarly blue bloodedly Gallic – think unctuous onion soup, hearty bourguignon and crème caramel to die for. Forget you’re in deepest darkest London and whisk your amour to this top romantic interlude.
