Rosemary Gastropub

A novelty still here in the capital, this gastropub is adding a French flair to the wave of pubs in England now serving really good food. After making the switch from his investment banking background, Julien, the owner of Rosemary Gastropub, brought some culinary inspiration back home with him from London. The result is this French-English hybrid whose interior design (Studio Janréji) and menu offerings firmly root you in this gastropub trend. For example, their Sunday Roast is already popular with the surrounding residential crowd who appreciate the fact they can bring their kids and let them romp in the children's play area that has discreetly been included in the lovely, specious, naturally-lit main dining room in the back, just off the enclosed garden. Beef Wellington and mushy peas are featured menu items that you can accompany with a tomato salad served with basil sorbet and strawberry coulis.
