Chinoise Restaurant

Chinoise Restaurant at 190 Castelnau, Barnes served food from the Castelnau in SW13. Chinoise — a French word meaning Chinese-style, associated in design with the European fashion for Chinese-inspired decorative arts (Chinoiserie) that swept Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries — gives this Barnes restaurant a name of Franco-Chinese elegance. Castelnau SW13 9DH is the main road through Barnes close to Hammersmith Bridge.

Restaurants in Barnes serve one of London's most affluent and culturally aware communities, and Chinoise brought its Franco-Chinese identity to the Castelnau food scene.
