Harden's says
Lawrence and Emily Hartley ran Mustard on this site for three years, and have now transformed it into Le Petit Citron, featuring a classic French menu with a Provencal twist.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A nice and buzzy local bistro” that’s attractively styled and “a good choice in the area” (a barren stretch of trafficky road, north of Brook Green). The formula is classically French, including a handy prix-fixe option.
Summary
On a slightly tatty stretch of the Shepherd’s Bush Road, this well-appointed French brasserie (with the same owners as Covent Garden’s Joe Allen) is something of a surprise. The formula is a classic Gallic one and it’s “very good value”.
Summary
“To the Brook Green site of Mustard (RIP) and before that Café Rouge (longer RIP) comes this attractive and inexpensive new French bistro”. “Not much has changed since its predecessor” (same owners, who also own Covent Garden’s Joe Allen) – “the food’s decent” and comes at “very reasonable prices”.

For 32 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).
