About
Maison François is a sophisticated French brasserie and wine bar situated in the heart of St. James's. The menu focuses on elevated brasserie classics and wood-fired cooking, anchored by a signature terrine trolley and an extensive wine program. The interior design strikes a balance between industrial Brutalism and classic Parisian elegance, featuring soaring ceilings, lacquered woodwork, and a visible open kitchen that adds a sense of theatre to the room. Below the main dining room, Frank’s wine bar offers a more subterranean, intimate setting for late-night glasses and snacks. It serves as an ideal destination for professional lunches during the day or high-energy celebratory dinners in the evening, capturing the timeless spirit of a grand café with a modern, design-forward edge.
