Partisan

For Florencia Clifford, opening Partisan and the French House is a dream come true. Alongside four varieties of hot chocolate, coffee from Monmouth Coffee Company, Bluebird Tea, cakes, patisserie and scones served on mismatched crockery, you can expect an all-day brunch menu and a range of delicious, seasonal lunch specials. They sometimes open in the evenings for set menu fine dining and host pop ups with invited guests and collaborators.

The interiors are furnished with antiques from The French House, among others, and most are for sale. You can bank on seeing an evolving array of paintings, ceramics and antiques and with further seating downstairs, it's worth taking a look at the space which they have also turned into an exhibition room.
