Following on from our visit to Les Gourmets des Ternes in Knightsbridge, we wanted to share an eponymous recipe from Maximilien Marie’s ever so slightly clandestine ‘Rendez Vous’ cocktail bar, which runs above the bistro. Heading past an adapted Anglepoise lamp and original pharmacist’s earthenware cocaine jar, one enters a beautiful mise-en-scene of a drinking den complete with table football, large wall of wine, brace of foldable, former theatre seats and – accessed through a guillotine window – a rather pretty courtyard.
