Our story
Back in 2019 in Paris, two friends, Charles and Victor, opened a brasserie together - the kind of place Parisians disappear into for a 3 hour lunch.
They called it La Nouvelle Garde: a promise to eat and drink the French way, done properly, 100% homemade, cooked from scratch from the highest quality seasonal ingredients.
They served classic French dishes prepared with care, generosity and excellence in beautiful, relaxed spaces full of energy.
Guests loved it!
So they opened another one, and then another one. And 9 brasseries later, it was finally time to bring it to London.
In July 2026 in Sloan Square, Brasserie Olivia was born.
This is just the beginning of our London story, and we'd love you to help write the next chapter.
