About L'Absinthe
L’Absinthe is the delightful and affordable neighbourhood French bistro cum wine shop that every steak frites loving Francophile dreams about. Located off the beaten path on Chalcot Road in London’s Primrose Hill, L’Absinthe is the brainchild of Jean-Christophe Slowik – a protégée of Marco Pierre White. Everything from the ebullient welcome to the blackboard menus and candlelit tables is just perfection, and we haven’t even started on the food yet. With pâté de campagne, cornichons and petite salade for starters, rabbit casserole with mustard mash for main course, and Absinthe crème brulée for dessert, any Gallic gastronomer will be in heaven. Popular with arty Primrose Hill types and their agents, this bijou local gem offers a little slice of back-streets London life for holiday makers seeking out an authentic neighbourhood dining experience. The wine list is genuinely impressive and unbelievably affordable, making L’Absinthe one of our favourite little London haunts.

Just back from an excellent meal at l'Absinthe. The setting felt very like being in an authentic French neighbourhood restaurant and we thought it a very good sign that many of our fellow diners were French. All starters, mains and desserts we're excellent and portions far too generous! Washed down with lovely wine and served by friendly staff we had a great evening and hope to return very soon. Magnifique!
Yet another enjoyable meal at this cosy local French restaurant. Food Consistently good, service definitely with a smile, thoughtful wine recommendations, all reasons why this is so often our restaurant of choice.
Great as always.
L'Absinthe is a lovely restaurant located very close to primrose hill. The area itself has quite a few nice pubs to have a drink in before hand and as soon as you walk into the restaurant itself the atmosphere makes you an instant fan. The wine list was very fairly priced and quite extensive and we had their special which was rib of beef and was one of the best cuts of beef I have enjoyed anywhere. I highly recommend this great find, I will definitly be returning.
delightful place, charming staff, good value and good food. strongly recommend you try
