LE CAFE DU MARCHE TURNS 40 THIS YEAR!

Home/About Us

About Us

Tucked away in the heart of London, Le Cafe du Marche has been serving French cuisine to a steady myriad of diners, happy regulars and Francophiles for forty years.

Founded by the late Charlie Graham-Wood in 1986, we remain an independent, family run restaurant with his daughter Sophie having joined the team in 2011.

Housed in a converted warehouse built on the foundations of the coach houses for the neighbouring Charterhouse, and once a storage warehouse for a Clerkenwell bookbinder and then for St Barts Hospital, our structural heritage is fitting as one of the area’s oldest restaurants and little has been done to alter the original features of the building. 

Inspiring la “Bon Vivant” with good food and wine, we hope to transport our guests out of the bustling Square Mile and across La Manche.

We are located down a cobbled mews on the corner of Charterhouse Square, a stones throw from Smithfield Market and a two minute walk from the Elizabeth Line (Barbican end).

We have live background jazz music every evening from 7.30pm by our resident musicians. 

The main restaurant spans across the ground floor and our first floor dining room Le Grenier, can be hired out for private events, lunch and dinner. This is accessed via a spiral staircase.

The menu is based on a two or three ‘prix fixe’ menu which changes every five to six weeks with daily changing specials.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
