Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Bankside

I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

Faultless food and drinks, accompanied by Denby’s perfectly cheerful yet professional service, which was prompt yet unrushed. There are so many pre theatre choices, and we’ll be back to this one for sure. Lovely touch to acknowledge Hubby’s birthday with a candle, song and card! Thank you.

A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.

Lovely restaurant with great atmosphere in perfect location for theatres and Covent Garden. Wonderful food served by friendly staff. Have eaten here before and would recommend it has always been busy when I’ve visited which I think says it all.

Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.
