Reviews
We don’t usually visit this restaurant, even though it’s close to our house, because it’s always busy and not the best option when dining with a toddler, despite the park being nearby. This time, we started with the mussels and burrata, which were excellent—perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For the main course, we had the chicken, which was high quality, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it. It came with French fries and a salad, though the salad was underwhelming—just a few leaves with some olive oil and vinegar, not very flavorful. For dessert, I had the pistachio cream, and it was the highlight of the meal—absolutely delicious and a great choice. The staff were also friendlier this time compared to our last visit. Overall, while I’m still undecided, I think I’d opt for the beef next time instead of the chicken.
Great food, great service, and standout wine. It's clear that a lot of love and attention has gone into everything, and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the staff is infectious. There were three of us, which worked out well for the large shared main. Definitely the best Monday night dinner I've had for some time.
Our evening at Pique Nique unfolded much like Sergio Leone’s epic film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This culinary showdown had its fair share of heroes, villains, and—yes—some extras that probably should have stayed out of frame altogether. Allow me to introduce you to the cast and set the stage for our evening: The Cast: - Crispy Egg, Corn Purée, Girolles: A plucky opener, full of promise. - Stonebass Ceviche: A dish of intrigue… perhaps. - Raviolo: Mysterious and bold. - Burrata and Roasted Pumpkin: Charming, but blink, and you’ll miss it. - Chateaubriand, Crispy Potato, Bordelaise Sauce: The proclaimed hero. - Duck Mallard, Smoked Polenta, Grand Veneur Sauce: A gamble. - Fig Tart: A hopeful crowd-pleaser. - Mille-Feuille Mont Blanc: A decadent final act. The Good Crispy Egg: An unexpected twist in our appetizer lineup, the egg was crispy, golden, and filled with personality. However, its supporting cast, the girolles, were so bland they could’ve been cardboard stand-ins—barely deserving a place in the ensemble. Fig Tart: Now here’s where Pigue Nique found its true star. The fig tart was flawless, a scene-stealer, the kind of dish that could win an Oscar. It was devoured in record time—a clear victor in this evening’s tale. Mille-Feuille Mont Blanc: A gorgeous stack of delicate, crispy layers. But alas, the chestnut cream tasted like it had forgotten its lines, leaving us searching for the nutty essence that was meant to anchor the performance. The Bad Stonebass Ceviche: Not fresh, dry, and drowned by its vegetables, this dish had all the drama of a cactus in a drought. It lacked the brightness we’d expected, leaving it about as enticing as tumbleweed. Raviolo: This one waltzed onto the stage with Roquefort as its weapon of choice. Unfortunately, the flavor was so intense, it left the dish about as subtle as a bar brawl—an overly aggressive flavor that needed a gentler touch. Burrata and Pumpkin: A charming idea, but with burrata so minimal it felt like a cameo role. If you squint at the photo, you might spot a dot of cheese hiding among the pumpkin, as if it had no intention of being noticed. Chateaubriand: Billed as the star, but bland as a brick wall. The crispy potato stole the spotlight, leaving us wondering if it had somehow overshadowed the supposed lead. We didn’t even get a say in how it was cooked—“medium rare French style,” they insisted, with a shrug that brokered no argument. Alright, if you say so! The Ugly Duck Mallard: This was a twist we didn’t see coming—and not in a good way. Our duck arrived so rare, it looked like it had barely survived the final shootout. Bright red and bloody, it could’ve doubled as a special effect. The smoked polenta, meanwhile, just hovered in the background like an extra with nothing much to do. The Final Scene As for the manager, they played the role of the surly bartender, taking our feedback with the grace of a disgruntled gunslinger. Points for the gesture of comping a few dishes from the bill, though—it was a partial truce in what felt like an otherwise dramatic finale. Would I return to Pique Nique for another screening? Only if they rewrite the script a little. Until then, I’ll be riding off into the sunset in search of a meal with a bit more grit and a lot more gusto.
The overall atmosphere and food were enjoyable. Most dishes were excellent, but unfortunately, the chateaubriand was a bit of a letdown as it was hardly warm and slightly dry, possibly due to being left out too long. The service was commendable; the staff were attentive and took the time to explain each menu item
Came here just for dessert, but ended getting starters as well. Really good plates, amazing Clafoutis. And real great wine quality. The service is unique, so personal and superior! Thank you to the team. Will come back for sure!Food: 5/5
We had the artichoke, stuffed gurnard, and the raspberry soufflé to share. The food was impeccable and so tasty. It is an amazing restaurant and the staff is very nice.
Full review on my insta: kfoodarchive Went here for a birthday celebration. The vibe & food were great overall, everything was delicious except the sirloin recommended by the staff, which came medium well/ well, really dry and tough to eat. Service was great at the start, the staff explained every item on the menu and recommended a special wine to pair with the food for us. However, as the restaurant became busy, it was hard for us to get any service.
Outstanding food, overall good service, probably the best French food in town or at least one of the best. Main course to share are generous quantity which means you are not hungry when you live the place. However, the place is incredibly loud which make it difficult to talk. Also it is very pricy as the quality is there, count 100 euros per person for 1 entrance and 1 dessert for 2 and a shared main, with pairing wines
Still one of my best restaurants in London. Great consistency in the food....never ever disappointed. The team is great.One slight thing though...do not pour my wine...I like to be in control on how much I drink. But I will come back...again and again. Keep up with the great work guys.Food: 5/5
Amazing customer service! Great selection of wines. High quality food. Definitely will come back.Food: 5/5
