So the signage for the successor to Longhorn/Smokehouse/Cinnamon is up, and looking very smart indeed. And a bistro will be a welcome addition to the High Street. Opening is currently planned for 1 August, and reservations are currently being taken by email. For those who are curious, a marmiton is a kitchen-hand. And of course, as all the wags are pointing out, you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it.
So the Gallic takeover of le Wanstead continues… La Bakerie, Beauté Parfaite, Click Beautique, Provender Café Brasserie, Jo Jo Maman Bébé… c’est magnifique mais peut-être le Brexit fera du tort à tous ce franglais.

According to open table (https://www.opentable.co.uk/r/le-marmiton-london) they are only open for lunch at the weekends. Hopefully that is just a place holder as I think one of things that stopped LongHorn being successful was being shut quite often. The lunch time trade restaurants do very well on our high street so let’s hope it will be too.
