The founders are saying Marjorie’s will be “the missing slice of Paris in central London”
Michael Searle and Josh Anderson are new on the city’s hospo scene and they’re hoping to make their mark with Marjorie’s, a Parisian-inspired restaurant and bar à vin, opening just off Carnaby Street this May. To bring Marjorie’s (named after Michael’s Francophile grandmother) to life, the pair have joined forces with head chef Giacomo Peretti, who’s got plenty of experience, having worked at the likes of Le Gavroche, Temper, Firebird and The Culpeper.
Giacomo’s menu will be a modern take on French cooking, featuring dishes like:
- chicken liver rocher, hazelnut and morello
- fried courgette, rouille and trout roe
- Brie de Meaux, summer beans and apricot
- escargot, seaweed, and pine nut cream
- crab tart with crab bisque
- red mullet, bouillabaisse and tapenade
- bavette, egg yolk and girolles
- mille-feuille, strawberries and chantilly
- raspberry and tarragon sorbet
There’ll also be a daily cheeseboard served tableside, featuring cheeses sourced with the help of La Fromagerie – because you can’t have a French wine bar without some French cheese. The wine list (all-French, of course), will be curated by Michael and will be concise in number but broad in scope, showcasing both small producers and classics from across the country’s different regions. A different selection of bottles will also be served by the glass each day.
There’ll be 47 covers across the two-floor venue (plus an extra 12 on the outside terrace), with a travertine-topped bar on the ground floor and an open kitchen with counter seating in the downstairs dining space. Food and drinks will be served across both floors, so you can just pop in for a quick glass or settle in for a proper meal.
