Le Beaujolais

If you want French wine and French cheese go there!!!
I love this bar, very nice bar, very French owner and very nice staff!
:)

Apparently i am ‘so french’ that my friend feels the need to take me to french places when going out. Well it’s rather a good call for i really enjoyed the festive french atmosphere of Le Beaujolais.
The bar isn’t too big so you’ll have to push through when you want to go anywhere but it is more convivial than annoying.
The menu offers several possibilities from bottles to glass. You’ll find less choice in the glass section but it’s good if you only want one drink or if you want to taste different wines (if you do, start with dry whites, then liquorish/​sweet whites, then reds Bordeaux being the strongest so the last ones to try).
I recall they also make cheese and ‘charcuterie’ platters. I recommend you try it for it’s one of the greatest french inventions ;).
I love the way the place is decorated. They hung ties to the ceiling and the walls are covered in french references. It’s funny and make a darkish cosy atmosphere.

Oodles of charm and coziness. A bit of a respite from the overly pristine sterility of so much of central London. Unfortunately, they’re selling you rather mediocre French wine at steep prices. One can get far more interesting wines at some of the newer places that may be less charming but are more au courant. So, this cute spot ultimately leaves one feeling cheated, fairly typical for central London.

What a little gem! Doesn’t look like much from the front but inside its like you’ve been transported to France. Not massive but will seat around 30 and has a lovely bar area to perch. Very good selection of wine (French of course) and although quite expensive it was very tasty. Plumped for the house red carafe and was very pleasantly surprised. A quaffable wine that didn’t need food however did succumb to the cheese board. Comes with bread, biscuits and a choice of 4 or 8 cheeses.
Atmosphere very jolly and felt very appropriate for a Thursday. Got the locals who check in and out on the locals board but also catered for business types and passerbys. No tourist that I could see in there and staff were perfect. French family I think that own and run the place so very authentic.

great place

In my opinion, this place is a cute, very authentic and superbly relaxed pub/​bar with good solid home food and decent wine. The location is very convenient and staff very French in the best possible way!

What an awesome little wine bar! Kudos to my friend Erica U who discovered this most excellent of places. Le Beaujolais serves up generous glasses of fine wine for a very reasonable price, and has a unique style about the whole thing. I’ve been in many a wine bar (probably more than my liver would like) but this is the first one that has enough ties hanging from the ceiling to stock a men’s boutique and there is even a bicycle hidden in the rafters. It’s what you’d expect if you emptied out your parents’ attic and garage and then decorated your flat. It’s odd, not doubt about that, but strangely endearing at the same time.
The two main waiters/​hosts/​sommeliers are massive flirts in the way that only old Europeans can be, staying just on the right side to be charming rather than dodgy. They remember their regulars and are not too worried about personal space. They do have excellent taste in wine so don’t feel afraid to ask for a suggestion or two.
All in all, this place is perfect for a catch up with friends although perhaps a little too cosy for a first date. It’s fun, relaxing, and you could easily spend an evening here sipping wine. The quiche is supposed to be fantastic so I’m looking forward to a return visit rather than pre-​dinner drinks! But if you do fancy a larger meal, Hawksmoor is just around the corner…

If you like, tiny spaces, amazing wine, cheese that will blow your socks off and grumpy french men this is the place for you!
Actually whilst it does have all of the above it also has the MOST amazing atmosphere, even though there is a fight for available space inside there is so much to see and the intimate surroundings makes it absolutely fab for a date.
If you have some time to kill whilst musing over a plate of french cheese with a glass of red in your hand, then this is the place for you. It is also a great welcome treat after a hard day shopping.
They do a few other traditional french eats too, such as Toulouse sausage and Tartiflette yum yum yum.

Stuck near Leicester station with an hour or two to kill, no problem, just go to Le Beaufolais and have a glass of yummy wine and a nosh and waste the time away with great french staff and you’ll end up closing the place.
Great for meeting people, great wine, cozy conversation and lovely cheese plates.

Nice little (emphasis on the ‘little’, I’m afraid) wine bar run by real French people in the heart of London. I like this place not only because I love wine, but because once you’re in there you don’t feel like you’re somewhere quiet and secluded, not slap bang in the middle of Charing Cross Road, which is no bad thing.
Great cheese plate with plenty of tasty bread and the staff are friendly. However it IS tiny, so you could have a bad night if you didn’t nab a table early and cheap it is not.
You might want to avoid it if you’re not an Arsenal supporter though…

Pour les dépaysés Français, c’est ici où voux pouvez avoir un goût de la patrie. Le personnel sont tout le naturels ainsi vous pouvez détendre et lacher l’effort du jour en mangeant un plat de charcuterie où fromage avec un verre du Beaujolais éponyme.

A secret piece of France in the heart of London
I love this place for its simplicity & lack of any
pretentiousness.
My favourite the Boeuf Bourgignon is a good price
& with a glass of wine, the meal is well under £20.
Go for an after dinner drink at the French House in
Dean Street a short walk away

Alors, un secret au coeur du Londres
J’aime cet endroit pour son simplicite et sans pretexte
Le Boeuf Bourgignon a un bon prix et avec un verre du
vin, c’est du bon valeur, moins que £20
Apres, allez voir le French House pub a Dean Street, Soho,
plus pres pour boire quelquechose

Excellent wine, good atmosphere and some truly delicious bar snacks. I recommend the hard-​boiled eggs — they come with pepper and Encona sauce ready for dipping. Rumour has it that every few dozen they throw in a raw one, so the game is to crack the egg on your head. Friendly staff and an excellent location in what can be a bit of a dead zone for natives. If you can grab a seat outside in the milder months, do.
