   Our evening at Otto’s was the dining highlight of our week in London. The menu, service and intimate ambiance will stay with us for a long time. The staff was welcoming and attentive. We closed the restaurant. Not wanting the evening to end. The Saint Jacque scallops and foie gras were so full of flavor. The Steak Tartare and foie gras was prepared perfectly. The sauce was a perfect complement. My Tournedos Rossini were lovely and beautifully presented and delectable. Extensive wine list and yummy desserts.

   Incredible food. Easily one of the best experiences in London. We had the lobster press and it was everything we hoped it would be. Otto is a great host as well. We will be back!

   Once again Otto's provided the most exemplary gourmet experience. I have lunched and dined here many times and taken a wide range of guests, all of whom have been equally impressed and made return visits. Otto's remains to me the best of London's restaurants, offering a unique atmosphere, an always unhurried welcome and food and wine that stays in my memory as being so very special. There are many great restaurants in London but only one Otto's.

    Having just dined at Kol in London and L’Arpège in Paris, my visit to Otto’s felt like stepping into an entirely different—but equally remarkable—culinary world. This is fine dining of another era, a place that feels as though you’ve stumbled into an intimate, eclectic stall at Les Puces, the legendary Paris flea market, where time stands still, and indulgence reigns supreme. Otto’s menu is as extravagant as it is fun, a true spectacle of classic French cooking that leans unapologetically into tableside service, rich sauces, and theatrical presentations. Be warned—many of the grandest dishes require pre-ordering, but even without advance planning, we found plenty to savor. We started with the Salade Impériale, a wildly decadent combination of crisp veal sweetbread, seared black pudding, smoked duck breast, king prawn, bean and mâche salad, and truffle sauce, all topped with foie gras. If that sounds like a lot—it is. And it’s crazy good. Then came the Native Lobster Soufflé, Lobster and Morel Nest, an homage to Fay Maschler (longtime food critic) that was absolutely drenched in an incredible amount of sauce—no complaints there. The Duck Pie followed this, and then the Lamb Wellington with Haricots Verts and Rosemary Sauce, a dish so rich and perfectly executed that dessert became a physical impossibility—though we certainly used the fantastic bread to soak up every last drop of sauce. One of the highlights was watching the Chateaubriand de Bœuf Simmental en Croûte, being served tableside—I even filmed the carving. As an aside, many dishes are served en croute, and all look perfectly cooked - which is a testament to the kitchen. Otto’s wine list is extensive, with an impressive selection of half-bottles, making it easy to pair different wines throughout the meal. Step into 1920s classic French dining—the kind that doesn’t hold back. The setting, the service, the over-the-top dishes, and the pure indulgence of the whole experience make this worthwhile.
