Duke Street's upmarket bistro Maison François is set to host its third Croûte Off on November 16, a competition which sees a number of the capital's top chefs compete to make the best pâté en croûte. The winner will raise the Coupe de Croûte Off.
Despite the seemingly low-stakes nature of the event — and while the event itself tends to be rather lively — it is taken surprisingly seriously and sees some of London's top chefs turn out to compete. The public are encouraged to attend to witness it; tickets are priced at £30.
