Lived up to all our expectations and more. Definitely a treat price-wise but worth every penny, so delicious, generous portion sizes and friendly service. The fried oyster and potatoes & aioli were stand outs. Can’t wait to come back 💗

Service was great and the food was delicious. The only downside was that it was very noisy at times, so sometimes difficult to hold a conversation, but still a great experience.

    Perfect venue for meeting a girl friend and having a good old chat. We could hear ourselves talk, the venue was very stylish & comfortable. The food & wine excellent, the service was a little slow although very smiley & polite, and in a way good not to be bugged into ordering food etc,.....I will definitely add this to my good place to meet,....and super convenient for Euston & Kings Cross stations!!

    I loved everything about Oui Madame. The food and wine was delicious and the service was great. Charming servers and lovely, relaxed ambience. Delightful, cosy setting. I appreciated that they had really good vegan options as an integral to the menu. So refreshing not to have to ask specially and/or end up with a default, uninspired vegan offering. We also appreciated not being rushed and the absence of loud music. Just great food, wine and conversation. Perfection. Chef's Kiss!
