Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Farringdon

I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

Faultless food and drinks, accompanied by Denby’s perfectly cheerful yet professional service, which was prompt yet unrushed. There are so many pre theatre choices, and we’ll be back to this one for sure. Lovely touch to acknowledge Hubby’s birthday with a candle, song and card! Thank you.

Such a great spot and always a wonderful atmosphere here. Food is also delicious. But last night the most outstanding element was the service - our server was so cheerful and thoughtful - he noticed we were celebrating a birthday and brought out a candle in our dessert as the pianist played happy birthday. Really charming thank you!

A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.

We had the most wonderful dining experience. From our arrival to the good byes, the entire team at Club Gascon was amazing and made our evening very special. The food was superb and the wine pairing worked wonderfully. Hope to come back!
