Harden's survey result
Summary
“Fantastic small French bistro” offering “very good value for the West End” – this “unexpected gem just off Oxford Street” has been a Soho fixture since 1998, and like its nearby stablemate Prix Fixe is a popular choice for pre-theatre dining. From a purely gastronomic perspective, it is best to visit with realistic expectations of somewhere so budget-conscious… otherwise, you might be “disappointed”.
Summary
This “fun, little traditional Gallic place in Soho” is “just what sixty-somethings picture when you say ‘French restaurant’”. “Very similar” to stablemate Prix Fixe, it’s “still pretty good value” – although food-wise there are “far better choices in the area”.
Summary
“A teleport into France” is easily achieved at “this unfussy, efficiently run” operation off Soho Square, noted for its “good honest classics done well” at “very reasonable prices”. “Service can suffer when busy, which it often is, but no matter”.
Summary
Celebrating its quarter century this year, this Soho survivor of what was once a national chain is “bustling and busy, but you can’t argue with really decent French bistro food at this price in central London” (“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality…” – “I don’t know how they keep the prices so reasonable”).
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
