The group, founded by Olivier Cohen, has taken on a site at Thomas Tower in Dalston Square with an opening date set for 5 January.
The new restaurant will have space for around 70 covers inside with a proposed terrace for up to 50 guests due to open in spring.
Menu highlights will include competitively priced onglet, flat iron, and rib-eye steaks as well as classic bistro dishes such as, onion soup; snails (pictured below), coq au vin; confit duck cassoulet; and apple tarte tatin.
There will also be a cheese trolley that will feature Brillat-Savarin; 24-month-matured Comté; Sainte-Maure; Fourme d’Ambert; and Époisses, with armagnac, port, muscat de beaumes-de-venise; sauternes; and tokaji to order alongside.
It will also run weekly offers that will include two-for-one steaks; Dorset mussels with beef dripping and fries for £16; six oysters and two glasses of crémant for £21; and two courses for £19 and three courses £24 on specific days. At weekends a bottomless brunch will be served as well as Sunday roasts from £15.
“Bordelaise has always been about bringing people together over good food and wine,” says Cohen.
“We’re excited to become part of Dalston and create somewhere people return to, whether for steak frites during the week, a leisurely Sunday roast or a glass of wine with friends.”
The first Bordelaise opened in Tooting’s Broadway Market in 2016 but closed in April this year after a 10-year run. Bordelaise also operates restaurants in Ewell and Surbiton.
