    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. We're redefining the classics! Serving generous, beautifully executed French dishes in lively, high-energy spaces. Our restaurants are fast-paced, people-led and never stuffy. Quality matters. Atmosphere matters. But above all, team spirit is at the heart of everything we do! 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 Sloane 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.
