Legendary Cannes restaurant La Môme comes to London: highly respected French restaurateurs Ugo and Antoine Lecorché bring the time-immortal glamour of the French Riviera to The Berkeley with an iteration of their sophisticated restaurant La Môme. Here, they will channel the convivial energy and timeless elegance of their sought-after group, which features an array of excellent, yet unpretentious restaurants and bars located minutes from the legendary Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes.

La Môme London will be the fourth venture from the Lecorché brothers, having opened La Môme
Plage (2018) and La Môme Monte Carlo in 2022.

La Môme is a must go when visiting Cannes, loved as much by movie stars and dignitaries as it is by tourists and locals alike. Renowned for its fun, stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, serving quintessential dishes hailing from Provence to Sicily to Portofino, the highly anticipated La Môme London will feature many La Môme Cannes signature classics. Guests can expect culinary expertise in dishes from King Crab and Avocado and Tarama with blinis, samphire, and trout roe as starters, to Sea Bass Ceviche, truffle and passion fruit marinade and Tuna Tartare in the Crudo & Fritos section.

Hand-made pastas such as Truffle Macaroni and Parmigiana Risotto will be joined by highlights from the menu, including: Tender Black Angus Tagliata, Octopus alla Luciana, and Veal Milanese. Desserts will feature the indulgent Fondant au Chocolat, rich vanilla molten heart, and the elegant Soufflé au Grand Marnier, a light and aromatic classic.

The name La Môme was inspired by the eccentric Suzanne Vreurick, known as “La Môme Moineau,
an iconic Parisian flower seller in louche 1920’s nightclubs, who often doubled as a late-night singer. She later married a billionaire and resided the rest of her hedonistic days in Cannes, leading a luxurious lifestyle throughout the 1960’s. Reflecting its namesake, La Môme is delightful, the London outpost offering discerning interior design by Cannes-based and award-winning interior architect Samy Chams. Like the restaurants in both Cannes and Monte Carlo, La Môme London will be imbued with the same rich, seductive material and colour palette. Framed Slim Aarons’ photographs of sixties Riviera life will also line the walls, an ode to the American photographer whose work remains forever a style inspiration for the brothers. “We want to bring part of the elegance of the French Riviera of the 60s and 70s to Belgravia,” says Ugo.

“As in Cannes, La Môme London will exude the same upbeat, elegant vibe,” says Antoine. “We are trying to bring to The Berkeley an experience that is about all the senses: not only about the food, but about the welcome, the service, the music, the energy, where something interesting is happening every day.”

Expect plenty of high-style theatre too. Dishes will be prepared in front of guests, from the snipping of thyme into olive oil to deboning a whole wild fish of the day, flame-grilled to perfection and ready to be shared. Cocktails and digestifs promise to arrive with a flourish of drama, shrouded in a cloud of dry ice until released from underneath a glass cloche.

Commenting on the arrival of La Môme to The Berkeley, General Manager Kostas Sfaltos said, “We
are excited to bring La Môme, a true Cannes legend, to London, and believe their cosmopolitan energy and joie de vivre will bring something new to the capital”.

There will be a 10-seater bar serving hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and a main restaurant will seat 170 inside and 28 outside on a newly created terrace. Both will open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Evenings will be accompanied by live music – including a DJ, chanteur and pianist.
