For 30 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).

Savoir Faire Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Was concerned from recent reviews that a change of ownership would mean the food was not great, however it was fine. Not delicious but good enough to go again. Service was great. A bit over the top but an aim to please. Ambience very reminiscent of Brussels bistro and clean. I live abroad these days but good to still find this place in London "
