When Pierre Koffmann closed La Tante Claire, the food world went into mourning, but now the master of French cooking is back, with a new bistro and long line in Gascon classics”

Koffmann occupies a unique position among chefs in this country. He is the chef of chefs, the chef all other chefs look up to.

Matthew Fort, Guardian Weekend

This summer has seen new restaurants from Michel Roux and Alexis Gauthier, the arrival of Daniel Boulud and all sorts of good news for the resurgence of French cooking in London, but none has been more exciting than this laid-back return of an old master we had very much missed.

Pierre Koffmann is back. And all across the land, tastebuds everywhere are rejoicing.

This is country cuisine of the highest order. With Pierre Koffmann at the stove and Simon Hopkinson at the table, it was always going to be a lunch to remember.

Allan Jenkins, The Observer

Like a legendary rock star going back on the road for one last triumphant tour, Koffmann has returned to his roots, while playing all the big hits.

My tuna carpaccio with celeriac remoulade is dazzling – translucent discs of very, very fresh fish with deftly judged seasoning and a punchy, creamy spoonful of root vegetables at the centre. I’m in love.
