Really enjoyed dinner here! I traveled about an hour to dine after reading many great reviews. I will say the food is excellent and service is very good. It was a unique experience. Intimiate dining area with only a few tables. They course everything out nicely. Service is attentive. I would say it’s absolutely worth going, but wish I was not staying so far from it. Overall I enjoyed the authentic French dishes and would recommend to a friend!
Very quaint frenchy place. I feel like I was transported to a Parisian bistro in Paris. The menu is also very French, though I was surprised to find black pudding in my veal sweetbread dish. Portion is also rather big. The wine list is very good for a restaurant of this size in uk. Overall, I’m very happy with the place and intend to come back.
Excellent food and service. Our starter was late due to human error, but we were well compensated, including free wine and a special dessert. I ordered the calf's brain which was really nice, even though I was a bit scared at first and the lamb Wellington. The wines were absolutely fantastic. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. Five stars. Also an inspiring name of the restaurant. Very cool.
And while lighter appetites might go for an excellent tuna tataki with pickled mushrooms and ginger and chilli dressing, you really need to enter into the spirit of the place with something like Scottish scallops, baked in the shell in a crust of cracked, flaking pastry. It looks like the weather-beaten talisman of a Santiago pilgrim, anointed with beurre blanc.
Just wow - a complete haven, you feel like you're entering another world - and your pace naturally slows down from the business of London. Couldn't recommend the food, atmosphere and fantastic service here enough. Already planning a return trip!Food: 5/5
Some great food, lovely cozy ambience, and amazing people. The prawn avocado salad was the perfect balance of fresh and savoury, beef tartare hand prepared in front of you! was so fresh and deliciously spicy. We spent 4+ hours chatting over dinner and Oliver also kindly catered for one of my friend’s broken arm by offering to cut up some food. The wine was also lovely and the selection huge and great recommendations were given. Would definitely recommend for a date night or a special occasion.
Great restaurant with fantastic staff and service. The salad starter was good but a little more truffle oil would have been nice. The escargots were ok, the sauce was great but I was disappointed that they were not served in their shells. The pressed duck was the star of the show, first the liver, then the breast in the most amazing sauce followed by the leg which was very good served with some breast meat and crispy skin. The sides were good, particularly the potatoes. I was so happy that I was allowed to use the duck press! We had a wonderful time and I do not hesitate to recommend. The service at the table made it a very special experience.
If you’re looking for traditional French dishes then this is the place to go! With a very vintage/historical decor, Otto’s really has a lot of character. The food is delicious, and the service was great despite them not being French then know a lot about French food! I think for me it’s slightly overpriced because I’m French and I know the price of these dishes back home, but again, you don’t find it everywhere in London. The portions are generous, and the food is very filling: we stayed the entire evening and loved the experience. Oh and you get free bread and butter, as a French person, I really appreciated that!
Characterful classic French restaurant with the inimitable Otto flambéeing tableside and wielding the antique duck and lobster presses. Incredible food and utterly magical atmosphere - unforgettable!Food: 5/5
French charm, exquisite cuisine, great service. It feels almost like a time travel. It takes you to good old times, somewhere in Paris. The noise of the city is left outside. Nice and cozy interior. Attentive staff. Top quality French cuisine. Feels very authentic. They do Canard de Rouen a la Presse, which is quite rare these days. I had their signature Simmenthal beef tartare. It is skillfully prepared at the table. We had it medium spicy and it was out of this world. The taste, the texture is just a perfection. I also ordered Agneau en Croûte or Lamb Wellington which was an absolute delight. Another dish mastered to a perfection. At one moment I had an illusion of being a jury member at the French cuisine competition and served with a champion dish. Wine list is well balanced and I liked it had some fine half-bottles as well. The only remark I have is for the plateau de fromages. I wish the selection of cheese could be even better. My strong recommendation for anyone looking for an old fashioned small French restaurant in London. And sincere thanks to the team.
