"Arriving at Victoria coach station you’d think the “British experience” was takeaway bags of Leon, pelting rain, and the Megabus mascot. But don’t lose heart. A short walk away is La Poule Au Pot. It’s stuffed to the wooden beams with baskets of dried flowers, hanging grape decorations, yellowing framed prints, and well-dressed groups sipping wine as though it’s a gathering in one of their second-home farmhouses. The charming French restaurant was practically made for miserable days. And the food is just as transportive and wholesome—wine-infused beef bourguignon and perfectly cooked guinea fowl, all served with vegetables that are heavy on butter and bacon.
