We have lunched here twice this year and were served delicious food on both occasions. A traditional French bistro which is slightly cramped but buzzing on both visits. Efficient, polite service.

We had a wonderful lunch at L’Escargot in Soho. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The service was warm, attentive and professional, with a lovely birthday surprise that made the occasion extra special. A charming French restaurant with a real sense of occasion. Highly recommended!

    Had a lovely evening at The Chalet. Really friendly and helpful service. Great raclette with unlimited sides, very delicious. Enjoyed the apres-ski atmosphere which happily reminded my Mum and sister (who can’t ski anymore) of the old days.
