Very attentive, friendly service. Lobster salad seemed lacking dressing and flavours as a result. Goat cheese salad was excellent. Lamb was slow cooked to perfection, while the beef and spinach were OK but nothing special. Creme brulee was great to finish. All in all a perfectly good meal, but not great nor justifying the price.Food: 4/5
Cosy, well decorated French restaurant in the heart of Soho. I went for a Sunday lunch which was lovely. The portions were generous and the staff friendly. The highlight was the fruit tart with cream dessert. Recommended
Lovely restaurant with good service, went for the pre fixe menu with a few extras. For £30 the menu was really good value all the food was really nice and cooked well, very traditional so not much excitement but great quality. Of you are looking for a decent french restaurant in London, which is perfect for a date night can't go wrong here.
The service is impeccable and the venue is very photogenic. However, the crab linguine was soso i think there was lemon grass in it? not entirely sure because the herb smell was strong. The duck confit wasn’t that special either. The set menu is a better choice than the a la carte.Food: 3/5
My husband and I were visiting from the Bahamas and wanted a restaurant serving French Cuisine. So we did a google search and L’ Escargots came up with excellent reviews. To say the least, they did not disappoint and lived up to all of the great reviews. The service was top notch. I believe the name of our server was David he said he was from Spain. The servers were knowledgeable of the menu and made some good recommendations.I told him I wanted a sweet cocktail and he brought back a delicious passion fruit drink that i absolutely loved. We had the escargots, French onion soup, lamb Navarin d'agneau 'Printanier', beef Fillet of beef 'en croûte', sauce Périgourdine, potatoes Pomme Dauphinoise and madeleines for dessert. Everything was perfect and flavorful. When we visit London again we will be sure to dine at this restaurant.
The restaurant itself was very pretty and cosy, but the atmosphere was sadly disrupted by: 1. The cheap rechargeable table lamps from Amazon – they should replace those with beautiful candles, as they used to do. 2. The music playlist also felt off; modern commercial tunes instead of a selection of classic French songs from the early to mid-20th century would better suit the ambiance. As for the starters, the £££ bread selection didn't feel fresh at all, dry and hard; The onion soup was good; The salad with melon had unripe, hard melon and an overly salty seasoning, which wasn’t to my taste. The main course, a pea risotto, was excellent. We didn't have dessert as we were full. A big, BIG, "no-no" was being served a hot bottle of sparkling water on a warm summer evening. Please keep them refrigerated!!! The staff was incredibly kind, especially the dark skinned French lady with a captivating grace. It was a birthday dinner, and they surprised us with a small plate with a "Happy Birthday" message and a snail-shaped chocolates, which were one of the most delicious chocolates I've had! In terms of food quality, I excepted more from this restaurant. I think the change of ownership affected the core of the place and with it it's quality.
Fantastic restaurant you have to try it all the dishes came out perfectly ! Service top tier and it’s massive and they have rooms you can hire as well as a ‘secret bar’ highly recommended, restaurant is over 100 years old !Food: 5/5
The food was delicious. We had steak Rossini with fresh sauté liver and chips and sweetbreads with a morel sauce and an amazing gratin dauphinois. Caring and friendly service in a beautiful room.Food: 5/5
An amazing restaurant that has stood the test of time, it’s over 100 years old! Ordering the snails is a must. Find classical French cooking at this place, in a comfortable setting, where it’s easy to catch up with friends and family. There is bag and coat storage at reception. Ladies toilets are on the upper floor, whereas the men’s toilets are on the ground floor… For any of you on wheels. Excellent service, with kind staff. Shout out to the person who took my reservation via the phone, I really appreciate that they made a few jokes with me in a good natured way. Wheelchair accessibility: Ladies loo is on the upper floor . Men’s is on the ground floor, so if you’re a lady on wheels you might need some help up there
Only stopped by at L'Escargot as we were intrigued by the Grand Marnier soufflé. This review will thus only refer to this dish. The previous month we had an authentic Grand Marnier soufflé on a trip to France which led to comparisons and high expectations for the current experience. Unfortunately the soufflé let us down as it appeared to be overcooked, tasting bland at first, then the cooked egg flavour became unpleasantly overwhelming. The soufflé itself comes with a Grand Marnier sauce on the side, this being a step down from it being cooked within the soufflé which would have given it a nice citrus flavour. As we find ourselves to be enthusiastic soufflé enjoyers, we mentioned our suggestions to the servers which were more than pleasant and helpful throughout the evening.
