Bistro aix is only a bistro by the name but reflects more as a fine dining restaurant with a friendly approach of service. Probably the best Onion soup and soupe de poisson in London, but it's not all, try also the marvellous venison or the monkfish, and if you still have enough space for dessert, you should let you tempted by the Panetonne bread and butter pudding, it's a bit rich, but it's a delight!! Ask it to be served with vanilla ice cream, it's homemade like everything there, even the bread! The wine list is also well balanced and dominated by French wines to discover from the South. My favourite restaurant in London.
