It’s with a heavy heart that we share that from Wednesday 17th September, our time at 2 Malthouse Lane comes to an end.

Like many businesses, the aftermath of the COVID years, the shift in the CBD dining landscape, and rising costs have made it increasingly tough. After decades in hospitality, we’re also due for a well-deserved break.

But this isn’t goodbye forever. We’re already dreaming up a new concept and premises — more on that very soon.

From the bottom of our hearts, merci to our incredible customers and staff who’ve made The French Brasserie so special over the years.

Be sure to keep following along with our newsletter to stay in the loop on what’s next.

À bientôt,
The French Brasserie Team
