Maison Francois

Maison François is a modern French brasserie that effortlessly channels the elegance and grandeur of Parisian dining. Founded by restaurateur François O’Neill and headed by Chef Matthew Ryle, a MasterChef: The Professionals finalist, the restaurant has quickly become a standout in the capital’s culinary scene.

Ryle’s menu is a love letter to classic French cuisine, offering meticulously crafted dishes like pâté en croûte, gougères bursting with Comté, and a luxurious twist on moules marinière served atop pillowy flatbread.

The interiors are as impressive as the food. With soaring ceilings, an oversized bronze clock, and a layout that balances grandeur with intimacy - thanks to curved banquettes, wood panelling, and latticed glass - Maison François creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both opulent and comfortable. The pièce de résistance? A pudding trolley that rolls through the dining room like a mobile patisserie, brimming with éclairs, Paris-Brest, macarons, and more, turning dessert into a theatrical experience.

Downstairs, Frank’s Bar offers a more intimate escape, with over 250 wines and a chic, low-lit ambience perfect for late-night sipping. The bar also features a clever concept: pairing wines with snacks from the same region, deepening the sensory journey.
