Chez Patrick
7 Stratford Road, London, W8 6RF
Chez Patrick is a small restaurant in Kensington on a very nice residential street called Stratford Street. The owner Patrick welcomes you as soon as you enter the restaurant and takes you to your table with a smile. We were surrounded by 5 tables from party of 6 to party of 1. This restaurant has definitely its loyal and frequent customers probably coming from the same living area. The menu is very simple and takes its roots from France with traditional starters like Salade Landaise (foie gras, ginners) or Goat Cheese Salad and main courses with a big focus on fish. Patrick told us the fish is wild and organic with the exception of the salmon. You can pick a fish course for about 15£ with the choice of Salmon, Hake, Seam Bream or Sea Bass plus a sauce. All dishes are served with spinach, potatoes and French Fries. Finally, we finish our meal with some nice dessert like the carpaccio of pineapple with salty toffee ice cream. To go with this meal, we took a £25 bottle of Chinon. The service is quick and efficient and Patrick is the typical French man who likes to tease his customers (even French like me). He definitely knows how to please his customers. For the “petite histoire”, Patrick used to work at Lou Pescadou in Earls Court.
