 Le Colombier - Dovehouse Street SW3 6LB

Owned and run by my good friend Didier Garnier. Le Colombier is a charming and restaurant situated in the heart of Chelsea fits the bill for both neighbourhood dining or guests from far and wide wishing to enjoy a delicious meal for lunch or dinner.

The surroundings are peaceful and the service impeccable to compliment the quintessentially French menu with the accent on Parisian Brasserie dishes.

Unashamedly French with the accent on brasserie style rather than haute cuisine.Simply said the Le Colombier is a quietly elegant French restaurant – and welcomes dogs, too, so Maggie will be delighted to join us on our next visit!
