HISTORY OF MON PLAISIR

Mon Plaisir is London's oldest French Restaurant and has for over fifty years been family owned. Established by the Viala brothers during the 'forties', it was acquired by Alain Lhermitte in 1972 and has steadfastly continued the tradition of serving genuine French cuisine and service to this day.

Mon Plaisir was originally smaller but just as busy.

Since the Lhermitte family inherited Mon Plaisir they have added other dining rooms so that more people can enjoy the Mon Plaisir experience.
