    A genuinely authentic and intimate French bistro dining experience. Stand-out courses were the duo of duck and duo of pork. Sides were tasty and substantial. The cheese board was the best I've tasted (and I've tasted many....), and both the white (pouilly fume) and red (Aussie shiraz) were delicious and well priced. And all topped off by eager, knowledgeable staff who found the right balance between attention and invisibility. TBH we had forgotten about Sous le Nez, and have sought out similar experiences while in London and Paris. Its offering is comparable with these, and we will be back very soon!
