Description

Two alumni of Leroy took over the restaurant's former premises in 2025 and reopened it as Duchy. The look is pretty much as was, even down to the great vinyl collection by the front door. The kitchen, which uses mostly British ingredients, is now more focused; the Duchy in question is Savoy, which occupied a vast area of southwest France and northwest Italy. That translates into dishes like grilled John Dory with mussels or spaghetti with sage and pecorino. Start with snacks like brown crab arancini, while you decide which dishes you want to share.
