“There’s a real feeling of a French Brasserie in the centre of London” at this Wolseley Group operation, whose ideal situation – on a corner of Sloane Square – makes it an ideal meeting place. “There’s always a great buzz, especially in the bar”, the menu of brasserie staples “suits all spectrums of the age range” and it’s “reasonably priced” too, especially for this glossy bit of town. There’s been “no drop in standards since C&K’s departure” from the group – indeed ratings here have strengthened across the board.

“Always a good place to meet people” – this Wolseley Group operation on a corner of Sloane Square feels like “a slice of Paris in London” and its supremely “convenient location” means it “can get very busy”. Somehow standards have never quite gelled here as well as at the group’s better-known sites: the “predictable, ersatz French brasserie fare” is merely “fine”; the service can be “quite patchy”; and the “buzzy atmosphere” can tip into bland anonymity. Harsh criticisms were absent this year, though, and seemingly there’s “been no perceptible drop in quality since C&K’s departure”.

“A top location on a corner of Sloane Square” helps define this “Parisian-like café/brasserie”, which is decorated “with minute attention to detail in the quintessential Corbin & King style”. It’s “always crowded and noisy”, but doesn’t inspire affection the way its siblings do; and it’s nominated much more as a convenient rendezvous than as a destination in itself. “All the Gallic classics are there on the menu”, and while the food is “reliable” enough, definitely don’t expect fireworks. “Very efficient and friendly service” this year though. Top Tip – “good range of breakfast menus”.

“A very fashionable location on Sloane Square” complete with outside terrace guarantees a steady crowd and “great people-watching” at Corbin & King’s classic café-brasserie – bang next-door to the Royal Court Theatre – and its “delightful” faux-period decor goes a long way in this corner of Chelsea, where flâneurs and ladies-about-town gather en masse. Never C&K’s best performer, it was better rated this year, but even so “the food can vary – it’s usually good, but occasionally bad”. Oft nominated as a good place to start the day, it’s a “great venue for meeting business associates over breakfast”.
