"If it’s a traditional French gastro you’re looking for, Auberge Waterloo is the one. Directly opposite the tube station, this rustic venue promises to charm your guests from the moment they enter. The ground floor recalls a Belgian beer hall with assorted dark wood seating and twisted iron fixtures, perfect for gathering the troops after work.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the candle lit restaurant, diners are swept into a traditional provincial-style inn featuring a mezzanine and outdoor terrace. This area is a popular choice for birthday dinners through the week and more riotous celebrations at the weekend."
