Le Vacherin never disappoints. The current menu is excellent. The cooking of the well sourced food is precise and inventive. Service is always charming and well paced. Excellent well priced wine list with great selections by the glass or carafe. A seriously good restaurant.

If you are looking for clever juxtapositions of flavours on your plate, this is certainly where you should think of coming. We have visited Chiswick's 'Le Vacherin' restaurant on various occasions and have always been hugely impressed by the food and the service. The changing menu is broadly European with (understandably) a French influence.

It was lovely to see you both again; these reviews are the reason why we do this every day, and you are a special customer to us.

Went with my Wife for a lovely lunch on Good Friday. Restaurant was fairly quiet, but still a nice cosy atmosphere . Staff were friendly and professional, giving excellent service. Food was lovely, chosen from the prix fix menu, and had a lovely bottle of wine. Overall a great experience for a very reasonable cost. Many thanks!
