The month of May has finally arrived, the weather is looking good and in true Gallic style, it’s fiesta time at Le Bouchon Breton with the launch of La Fete de St Tropez, a celebration of the culinary delights of Le Sud de France and ideal for alfresco dining on the handsome terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of Spitalfields Market.
The Breton chefs have devised an exceptional range of tempting hot fish and shellfish sharing platters all served with deliciously moreish buttery sauces, crusty bread and ice cold local rose, creating the ultimate and very reasonable ‘lunch or dinner complete”.
