A lovely French fine dining experience with great food overall. It’s on the pricier side, but the quality and flavors make it worth it. The lamb was a standout—super tender and cooked to perfection. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A great spot for anyone looking to enjoy a refined dining experience, though it comes at a premium!
One of the Best French Restaurants in West London. Close to Chiswick Park Station. Fine dining restaurant with excellent food & drinks, and excellent service, all details are perfect. Super friendly, and professional staffs, and don't judge anyone by his/her looks (even though we don't dress properly for a fine dining restaurant). Better to reserve a table in advance. Toilets are clean and tidy.
Posh, small and a little pretentious. The place is full of regulars who live in the area. The food was good especially for a set menu. I must say that I felt a little out of place being the youngest guest that afternoon. The 2 of us were given a large table because we booked on the same day, which was a little awkward for us. The service was fast and efficient but the host didn’t not really speak to us or recommend anything.
We had pumpkin tortellini for appetiser and chateaubriand for main to share. The beef was top notched quality. I enjoyed the main a lot. The service was excellent (except from one server that wasn’t great). Great atmosphere. Plenty of parking spaces in the residential area after 6 pm or a short walk from Chiswick Park station. Highly recommended.
We went for Sunday lunch, and the set menu is a bargain. If you want roast beef on a Sunday, you can’t go wrong here, it’s excellent. We also had some very nice Maldon oysters, and the cheese soufflé is very popular. The atmosphere is upmarket casual, and it’s just a few blocks back from the main high street in Chiswick, giving it a very local neighbourhood feel.
Wonderful restaurant, very accommodating for our group of 12 and we were very impressed with the food. The cheese souffle and cauliflower veloute starters were particular highlights. We'll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner, amazing atmosphere, attentive service and excellent food. Muscadet was divine. Shame two desserts weren’t available, prune and Armagnac tart (my favourite) and rum baba (husband’s favourite) so we had desserts at home. There is a spelling mistake for Picpoul on the wine list, a tiny detail but something for the management to look into.
