Paris independent restaurant Les Gourmets des Ternes has opened its first overseas restaurant in Maida Vale, London, reports M&C’s sister title Big Hospitality.
Owned by 23 year-old Maximilien Marie, the grandson of Francis Marie, who opened the original restaurant in Paris in 1962, the new venue features exactly the same food, decor and atmosphere as its French counterpart.
The menu features traditional bistro items with a special focus on meat.
Marie obtained a £64,000 loan from Natwest for the project, as part of the bank’s participation in the Government’s Funding for Lending Scheme, with backing from the Enterprise Finance Guarantee.
