Monde, Le

This is the noisy bit of La Brasserie, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. Whilst essentially a brassserie it has a strong inclination towards seafood and the emphasis is on informality. A starter of Provencale fish soup or a pint of cold shrimps could underline the enthusiasm for seafood and it could then become a choice between a cutlet of baked hake or medallions of venison with port wine sauce.
