Always a lovely restaurant for dinner, but disappointing to find supplements on the prix fixe menu. The food is very French and therefore quite rich, but a good experience

We love this restaurant. The food and service are always excellent and authentic. They are also responsive to unique requests like a special cheese for a birthday cake for my boyfriend who doesn’t like sweets. Highly recommend.

Wine Wednesdays are a great addition to this restaurant's already excellent offering. You can bring a bottle of wine between two on a Wednesday and there is no corkage charge. The signature cheese souffle is a consistently outstanding dish. The duck breast with black cherries and foie gras on the latest, seasonal menu is also first class. Very nice, professional service, as ever. For me this is the best restaurant in Chiswick.

It was quiet but it was a Sunday evening compared to when we have been previously but it didn’t reduce the enjoyment. Good food and even better service. The 5 course fixed price menu was great value

Superb food and always worth a visit just for that. But also friendly staff and a classic interior with a vibrant atmosphere when full that is not getting into the way of the conversation on your table.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, we know the process of pre- ordering could be painful but, as you said, it is for the best.

Instead of Sunday lunch roast we went for the shared Chateaubriand and both enjoyed very much. Very relaxed dining atmosphere plus quiet and able to talk easily versus many local restaurants and gastropubs.
