Great cozy little French place. A table nearby made a fuss but felt I had to share our experience was the complete opposite. Lovely kind service, wine topped up throughout. AND THE FOOD incredible subtle french excellence. I'm still thinking about the jus that came with my canard. Honestly, it was Mon Plaisir to have dinner here.

Wonderfully delightful French restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden. Very unassuming and not overrun by tourists, but excellent food and service from the team. We walked in and could get a table immediately for dinner on a Friday night. The wait staff all spoke French and were very accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed the food we ordered (escargots, duck confit and the scallops with king prawns - photos attached) and the food was fairly authentic.

Unfortunately we were too full for dessert! Do note the restaurant is quite tight so it will be more suitable for small intimate groups of max 4  pax.

Went on a Monday so quite quiet, very pricey, however, had the best Peach Melba I've ever had! Loved the decor too

A wonderful French restaurant in the theatre district. It has a two or 3 course menu for pre show dining and an extensive a la carte menu. The wine list is also good. There are two dining rooms and some outdoor seating. The service was fantastic and the food delicious. The bathrooms are downstairs and there is a bar as well. Highly recommended

I was introduced to Mon Plaisir by a good friend and have found a gem. The food is delicious of course but the service is super friendly and we were welcomed as family by Virginie and Marie -  it’s rare to have such attention, care and authenticity. This makes it a place to come back to. No frills, just good food, relaxed atmosphere and people who care.
