Brasserie Chavot in City of London, Westminster

Great location and attentive staff helped set the tone and mood for a positive and profitable business meeting.

Great food, great wine and great service. Still a little too formal for a French bistro, for my taste. And expensive!

Had breakfast in here for 7 of our 10 mornings in London as we were staying at the Westbury. Not much to say other than great coffee...most important, and an eggs benny to die for :)

A nice family meal was had . relaxed freindly atmosphere. good food and wine at a good price. a good all round menu with something for all to try.

Verdaderamente se merece las dos estrellas Michelin, es esta comida de brasserie simplemente divina. La comida ha sido consistentemente increíble durante los últimos 3 años hemos estado y nunca ha fallado para dejar una impresión en el paladar. Ambiente muy acogedor y agradable, lo que le da un ambiente muy relajado para disfrutar todo Eric Chavot tiene para ofrecer.

We had Christmas lunch at Chavot. They made a wonderful fixed lunch, including a turkey based main course, followed by sticky pudding. All things considered, the price was rather reasonable.

A veces cuando te encanta un restaurante que volver no normalmente dentro de las 24 horas pero eso es cómo era con cena de Chavot seguido de almuerzo del día siguiente.

Excellent food in a cosy and elegant atmosphere. Rich flavours with a spotless presentation. Try to leave space for the dessert but it's going to be hard with the main courses. Waiting to see the new address of this great chef.

Durante los tres años Brasserie Chavot estaba abierto, tuve la suerte de cenar allí docenas de veces: fue mi sitio al que ir, mi local, mi amigo. Chavot es todo acerca de la comida, en particular el sabor. Es por eso que ir allí. Incluso las cosas sencillas. De patatas fritas y tostadas Josper justo hasta vieiras y lubina, todo tiene su inconfundible del chef. Palabra en la calle es que tiene en mente, pero en un lugar nuevo donde y cuando eso se mantiene en secreto estrechamente vigilada por ahora.

Tuve cenas hermosas ella y es una situación que lo siento esta brasserie maravillosa ha cerrado. Mis sospechas es que los propietarios del hotel han aumentado el alquiler o si quieres alquiler no pagado anteriormente en un costo que dirigir un restaurante simplemente no es una propuesta viable.

Mi esposa y yo nos alojamos en el Hotel Westbury Mayfair hotel y cogimos nuestros cuatro niños Chavot para la cena de Navidad --fue fantástico! La comida era increíble y el servicio era excelente. Sin duda una experiencia de cinco estrellas. Demasiado malo que este restaurante está ubicado en el Wesbury, que está mal gestionado y deja mucho que desear para un hotel de 5 estrellas. La horrible 6 noches de estancia de mi familia en el Westbury en Navidad tenía un impacto negativo sobre nuestra experiencia en Chavot. Es por eso que nos dio 4 en lugar de 5 estrellas.

Probably one of the best French brasserie in London. Typical French meals are present on the menu - like the blanquette de veau - and other could be prepared on demand like the choucroute. The ceviche and carpaccio come with the signature dressing of the chef, they must be tried. The duck and the cote de veau are prepared in the typical French south-west way. Excellent and well priced. Decent wine list and and good service.

This is amazing, the lunch menu is so competitive in price and excessive in terms of quality. Even better, have a drink first in the polo bar next door and then have lunch. The soft shell crab was amazing! Definitely another booking is due!

I was very disappointed. The food did NOT match the chef's previous cuisine at The Capitol Hotel.

Most enjoyable meal, the food was well cooked and presented and for the price we paid (under a £100 for two courses) I felt represented excellent value for money. Would highly recommend this restaurant for good honest French cooking.

There is not an abundance of restaurants open on Christmas Day in London, so it was a pleasant surprise when we found out Brasserie Chavot would be serving a holiday set dinner, as we have wanted to try this restaurant for awhile. We couldn't have asked for a better meal ! 5 scrumptious courses up to Michelin standards. The White Bean soup with Foie Gras was outstanding as was the cured salmon served with the most surprisingly tasty cabbage slaw. The main course of roast turkey, though very traditional, was made special with a pistachio stuffing and delicious herbed potatoes. A couple of great desserts, a very good house red, and friendly service completed this great experience. Though this was a special holiday offering, I have to imagine that there everyday food and service would be just as memorable.

We went to this restaurant for dinner. It is a typical French brasserie. The food is good, hearty and traditionally presented rather than daintily sprinkled on your plate! The service as expected was very efficient yet unobtrusive. The prices were reasonable for one Michelin star restaurant. I like this restaurant because you can get good food in a very relaxed atmosphere - no table cloths, mosaic floor, wines by the carafe/pichet. The downside is that the wine-by-the glass list is very limited so if you are the only person who drinks, there is not much choice. Otherwise, the wine list is good.

Very welcoming, delightful waiting staff. The food is of an excellent standard, very well cooked! Only slight negative is the wooden platters that some of the food is served on......they are too gimmicky and just not needed. We had a wonderful evening!

Maybe our expectations were too high but a 1* in Mayfair with prices to match does raise expectations. My wife and I dined here on a Friday night and it was all very average, apart from the prices. Maybe I am missing something because there were a lot of French speakers there but for us the dishes just did not fire the imagination. Its a nice room with efficient staff but we wanted more

Superbe decoration, excellent service et un petit dejeuner parfait avec un choix ideal de plats (continental etc). A refaire pour decouvrir la Carte des repas

Very pleasant atmosphere with good choice of breakfast dishes, splendid well cooked food and attentive professional service. A great way to have started the day.

Visited here for lunch (a la carte instead of set lunch)Overall, food service and ambience was good.Charged for bread and nuts which felt a bit unusual but this wasn't forced on us and we knew we were paying for them.One person got a dessert which was slow to come but restaurant kindly gave us this for free.Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It looks really nice inside but feels more relaxed which is a good thing.

The food here is exceptionally good. My wife ordered the snails as a starter, and instead of the usual garlic butter, it came in a sauce with meatballs which was amazing. The waiter recommended the duck for main course. Normally I wouldn't go for duck, but so happy I followed his recommendation, since this must have been the best duck I ever had. Only minor point is that service shows some French arrogance, but with this kind of food I can easily forgive them for that.

Best we had was the tiger prawns and the veal blanquette with riz pilaf. For dessert chocolate and pistachio pot de creme with Tannat dessert wine from Uruguay. The staff are highly knowledgeable. Everything was impeccable. Impressive! It really deserves the 2 Michelin stars.

The food at Brasserie Chavot was simply delicious and all you would expect from a fine restaurant. The meal was a gift from one of the family but would not hesitate coming back here to dine. There was a selection of relatively inexpensive 'house wines' by the glass or carafe, which were equally delicious. As you would expect, the service was impeccable. Great place!

We enjoyed our evening in the Chavot very much. Everything was just right - the food, the service and the atmosphere. The menu is small but has just enough items to please even the most picky customer. Same goes for the wine, especially with the very knowledgeable French lady sommelier. The food is beautifully presented which adds to the perfection of this place. It's a little pricey but absolutely worth it. We'll be back.

A cold Monday night with a Birthday to celebrate one of my favourite eating places in London and always delivers.A short menu but with something for everyone but all great French dishes well seasoned and nicely presented, good service friendly and overall on top of their game albeit this evening we had a small problem with the billing however a lovely night out.We ate soft shell crab , hardly French but good to eat nice and crisp , the smoked eel salad was delicious and well made nice touch with the smoked piece of bacon, mains courses of lamb and my blanquette of veal so traditional and lovely and seldom seen on a UK menu was delightful.....all very very good.The bill was presented and after scrutiny was sent back as a double charge had been made on the dessert wine, it came back fast but yet another overcharge was spotted and again sent back, the manager hung back and left the young waiter to apologize.The eventual bill now included our desserts and coffee as complimentary to make up for all the messing around which was appreciated..however at this level £70 + per person I wouldn't expect silly embarrassing mistakes especially to be made twice by professionals...so big black mark here on the night.I shall return however its one of the few London restaurants cooking proper French cuisine in lovely surroundings and is to be applauded for sticking to its culinary guns...you must try it out they have a special lunch on offer during the week so give it a try and oh! make sure you check your bill.Good Eating Londoners.

Just what a brasserie should be in my opinion. Excellent French style food and a terrific Mayfair buzz.

The ambiance and setting of the restaurant was perfect! We decided on the set menu, £ 28.50 per person. We ordered 2 bottles of still water costing £5.00 each which we all thought was slightly over the top! The rollmops with the sauce gribiche were very tasty indeed and beautifully presented. I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food, beautiful service and friendly staff. One of the best meals I have had in London in a long time.

I had been a few times in the pat but not recently.Was very disappointing but the most pushy service I have ever seen: waitress and maitre d' very aggressive on us having more (i.e. on top on what we had already ordered) soft drinks, wine, water, oysters, bread (which is charged for), sides, desserts, coffees...So uncomfortable won't go back.

I guess Chef Chavot takes his food pretty seriously. We ate there December 2014 and while it was one of the highlights of our meals in London, it started off with a weird outburst.We sat down when the place opened. A nice table. While we waited for menus and water, we heard shouting and screaming from the kitchen area! This must have gone on a good 10-15 minutes. It became evident that one guy was doing the shouting. I guess you would call it a rant.The waiter came out, and he was pretty nice and calm. I couldn't help but ask if everything was ok in the back. The dude said, "Yes." I asked, "Who was doing all that shouting?" The waiter said, "Oh, that was Chef." He smiled, as though this was not an unusual occurrence.I grew up with an inconsolable shouter, and I have encountered a few of these characters in my medical training, so that part of the experience put me on edge. You known how at the end of "Ratatouille" the reviewer guy takes a sip of the dish and is magically transported to his childhood? The ranting transported me to my childhood, but not in a good way, get me? I guess I relaxed by the end of the meal, but really, what's the point of putting on hospitality with fancy decorations, white tablecloths, wine and food if guests are treated to shouting to set the atmosphere?I've read "Kitchen Confidential" and realize the kitchen of a fine restaurant can be a high-pressure location, but still. Before service even starts, what could possibly be so bad that chef has to rant for 10 minutes? I can see at the end of a long, frustrating night, chef might "lose it" on a sous chef or a pastry chef for a returned dish, but service hadn't even started!Look, restaurants hide a lot of unpleasant realities from diners. Someone has to kill and butcher a lot of meat, for example. Diners go to restaurants to escape the reality of food preparation, not to be reminded of it. It's an illusion, we know, but it's one we are hoping will transport us to a higher experience that we will always treasure.The food is adequate. We had the soft shell crab, smoked nuts, salmon tartare, ribeye, and daube. The daube was probably the star of the show. Service started off attentive and dwindled as the place filled up. Wine was tasty.I think at the time we visited, Chef was basically living at the restaurant 24/7. The recent positive reviews hopefully indicate that he is getting some deserved time off.

Had the pleasure of dining here with my husband while on our trip to London. I added in the reservation that was out honeymoon, and the service was even more spectacular. I had the seabass, and my husband had the veal. they were both amazing. we didn't want dessert as we were both full, but they brought us a little dessert tasting anyway, and wrote congratulations on it, so it was a nice gesture. I would definitely go back when we return to London.

This is brasserie cooking at "fine dining" prices so it has to excel to get to 5* level. It misses that I feel. Positives are that the service is very well run in terms of knowledge, response and pace of courses; the space between tables is good too; any back ground music was low; the place was busy creating a good atmosphere. But we got to close to £100 per head with "sides" at £5 each, wines marked up heftily and the high service charges you get added to the bill in London. We left feeling it was definitely on the high price side for what we got. It is linked to the Westbury Hotel whose name will appear on your bill.

Amazing experience. The staff, the food, the chef all very pleasant. I had deep fried soft crab for a starter and sea bass for mains. They were amazing. First class food.I highly recommend.

Visited off the strength of Eric Chavots reputation from his previous stint in London.The menu is hit and miss, the snails bourginon is a must.Worth a visit but not mind blowing

Мы случайно наткнулись на это кафе, гуляя по Лондону, и не были разочарованы. В меню есть устрицы, попробуйте также салат из маринованной свеклы и тигровые креветки. Чек на двоих без спиртного составил 80 фунтов.

had great diner at Chavot's with group of colleagues. Formal or less formal, it suits both. Daube de Boeuf is definately worth trying!

Had a long lunch here with friends and we had the opportunity to try several of the dishes for each course.Oysters from Jersey started the experience and we swiftly ordered more as they were magnificent. We followed the advice of the maitre d on ordering and tried the soft shell crab, escargot, liver pate and the steak tartar. For main courses the rib eye. Duck (canette), cassoulet, pork loin. Coupled with the excellent wine list made it a very enjoyable experience.

We had a good and quiet business breakfast. Service was good, could have been a bit more attentive. Food portions were big though not very tasty and a bit pricy I thought (scramble eggs with salmon £21). Overall a good option for a business bkfast and cheaper than other options in the area (and quiet)

We visited Brasserie Chavot last night to celebrate our anniversary and we definitely made the right choice in restaurant! From beginning to end the service was outstanding and the team of waiters were all extremely knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. He food was some of the best I've ever eaten and all came piping hot and very very quickly. We had a wonderful night and wil definitely be returning for another visit!

Devotees of fine dining in London will have fond memories of Eric Chavot's restaurants. Brassiere Chavot is a worthy addition to the canon. We started with 3 delicious deep fried soft-shell crabs washed down with Gavi, then a hearty pork casserole with a stunning Malbec, nicely decanted. All delicious. V pleasant service. A brasserie experience to savour. The master is back with a bang!

Brasserie Chavot was an absolute delight - extremely helpful and friendly staff, great food and wine. Highly recommend this venue for a special occasion

Rereading the other reviews I'm afraid mine is somewhat of an outlier.Went in for a quick business/set lunch. The appetiser (spicy bean salad) was excellent. The main course choice between steak or salmon was less so. The steak anyway.Obviously the meat off the set lunch menu was not the greatest cut of meat ever - presumably, and hopefully, it is considerably better off the full menu. Even so for a rare piece of meat it was unnecessarily tough and lacking in flavour. The "topping"was gratuitous and unpleasant. The little gem lettuce cut from top to bottom was nice and crisp but the dressing was ghastly. On the plus side the fries were excellent.If anything the set menu should be a window into the full menu to entice diners to come back and sample the entire offering. Certainly it did not have this effect on me and if anything i would be inclined to avoid it.

We more or less stumbled on this brasserie while wandering the streets looking for a 'little French bistro'. What a pleasant surprise! Gorgeous room, delicious and imaginative food, Very attentive and professional serving staff (with a special nod to the sommelier). In short we loved it. However, bring your wallet. It's not inexpensive, but as they say, the memory lingers long after the bill is paid.

Delicious deep fried soft-shell crabs, followed by a great bavette steak with five star chips.. The staff are very professional ,and with a superior wine list , this is a fine venue for a long lunch in a splendid room.

incomodo, muy lenta la atencion, precios elevados, comida normal,la unica ventaja es la ubicacion ,interna del hotel y donde tambien se sirve un muy caro desayuno

I should clarify this by saying that it is not a "neighbourhood" restaurant I just work nearby. The brasserie is always busy and this gives it a great atmosphere, for lunch I started with the soft-shell crab which was excellent followed by a very well cooked (not well-done) steak. I have been before for both business and pleasure, will go again and continually recommend it to colleagues looking to entertain clients and friends looking for a lively, not too formal, place in Mayfair.

O restaurante anexo ao Hotel Westbury tem uma decoração sofisticada e o atendimento muito bom, o cardápio é variado e a comida é uma delícia.

I love everything about this place from the furnishings, mosaic floor, high ceilings and lighting. Totally sublime.The service was spot on and friendly.We had scallops and crab mayonnaise with avocado to start. The best crab I have ever eaten and truly excellent. This was followed by ribeye and I had roasted cod with pea a la franchise which was nothing short of sensational! The best fish I have eaten in London. These were accompanied by mash and spinosi pasta with Parmesan which were remarkable!For dessert I had tarte au citron which was great and the cheeseboard was pretty good too!The Turckheim Pinot Gris was lovely and very reasonably priced.For me, a wonderful experience in the best French restaurant in London. An absolute must!!!

Feel is very much the hotel breakfast room that it is. The food is fine, the coffee could be hotter and you pay for the location. Nothing wrong with it but personally prefer Cecconi if I am in that part of town.

A friend and I had a great meal at this restaurantBoth the staff and the food were excellentThe sommelier in particular was exceptional

Very professional in terms of service, atmosphere and food. Having been here a few times over the years I would say that it used to be excellent and has slipped to very good. The classics are well done but a crab starter was disappointing and a Cesar salad was also not up to standard.

Had an early morning client meeting here in August. It's in a great location in the heart of W1 and amongst some very impressive addresses. It seems to be attached in some way to the Westbury Hotel which is more or less next door and perhaps a breakfast option for hotel guests. We had a very friendly welcome and service was very good throughout and it was very busy at 8am on a Monday. Decor is very fine and the food was good however the stumbling block was the price, eg. £26 for a (small) full English plus £9 for a cappuccino and £21 for a very small smoked salmon plate with scrambled egg dish and a cup of breakfast tea is a little steep. I didn't really care too much as it was a client lunch and therefore was expensed but if I was paying myself I might have choked on my (very nicely cooked) scrambled egg.

Just had a amazing time at chavot food was amazing which was enhanced but attentive staff with great menu know and were on hand to answer any questions we had. All in all a great restaurant and would love to return soon thanks again.

We have dined at Chavot before and whilst no second visit anywhere has the freshness of the original experience, the excellence of the food was enjoyed in equal measure on this occasion. On our previous visit I selected the escargots because of Giles Coren's comment that they were the finest thing since the Norman Conquest and I agreed with his high praise, it is a stand out dish in my memory. This time, because my husband had so enjoyed it last time and because I wanted to try something different, I chose the soft shell crab to start. And it was divine. For my main course I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet flavours of lamb cutlets which were beautifully presented. My husband had been looking forward to having the cassoulet again and it was as delicious as he remembered. To finish, there is a great selection of cheese, served with tasty quince paste and fig chutney. The experience was wonderfully complemented by perfectly polite, attentive staff and an elegant décor that includes a magnificent mosaic floor. We will be returning again soon.

Decided to try Brasserie Chavot on a business trip and so glad I did! The service was excellent and food delicious! Please try this establishment if you are in London

Great service from very attentive staff. I enjoyed eggs benedict perfectly cooked. Great freshly squeezed orange juice. I would recommend a table at the front of the restaurant for the very best service, as on one of the mornings there seemed to be less staff on and they were not quite as attentive at the rear of the restaurant.

I had a lovely lunch and both the service and food were excellent. Great cheeses too. It's a decent sized restaurant and I was hoping there would be more diners. I don't get it as the entire experience and value were very good. Either way I would certainly return for a business lunch as it was perfect for me.

Brasserie Chavot is one of my all time favourite places - it really does balance that Parisian feel with outstanding food options and great waiter service.

I had the Romaine salad and Entrecot steak with bernaise follows by the pot de creme and it was superb and delicious ! Highly recommended !

Excellent flavors, simple and clean dishesI ordered the steak tartar and the feta and avocado saladAsked for wine recommendation and it wad greatThey also had gluten free bread which wad great and tasty though a little burntRecommend!

Dined here for our anniversary on a Saturday lunch and the setting was perfect. I booked here on the strength of dining at the capital years ago when chef was there. We had to have 3 courses of entrees as we were struggling to not choose any of them ! Service was warm, attentive but not intrusive. Only minor critique was the ile flotante which I would have preferred at ambient temperature and the 'ile' poached to order.....Instead it was all 'fridge' cold. Otherwise we had a wonderful and faultless meal, we look forward to returning !!

"Strangely, rather empty at lunchtime - perhaps a flook as the food is excellent and the set lunch reasonably priced."

My wife and I dined at Brasserie Chavot in London recently as a random choice and we could not have made a better selection. The service was impeccable, attentive at the right level and the food was really good and presented with panache. My wife ordered the Cotelettes d’agneau, crushed aioli potatoes (lamp chops) that she thoroughly enjoyed. I had to talk her out of sucking the bones. I had a cod dish, which far exceeded my previous experience with cod, it was simply divine. This restaurant impressed my wife and me so when I returned to my hotel I googled them that’s when I found out it was a one Michelin Star restaurant. Highly recommended!

The service is very well, and the taste is good, but the apperance of food is not so beautiful, compared with other Michilin star restaurants.

It was a wonderful surprise because the evening surpassed our expectations: Gorgeous room, great food, superb wine, very good service. I will definitely be coming here more often.

I love this restaurant! We went there for lunch and it was not too busy or too empty. I had the crispy pork which was truly amazing! Service was attentive. The setting was beautiful which is great for any occasions! Highly recommended!

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. I like it a lot. I just can't afford it too often.

Having been frustrated by one of London's 'trendy venues' who operate the 'several sittings' policy and were not helpful when we wished to be assisted in changing the number of guests in our party, we cancelled, and were recommended to 'Brasserie Chavot'. A smart convenient location, with efficient and welcoming staff, very good food and good drinks list. New to us, but certainly somewhere we will return, also suitable for business entertaining or just as a venue for family and friends to enjoy.

Officially my new favourite. The crab and avocado starter was so fresh. The Sea bass beyond delicious and the fresh ratatouille accompanyment a perfect combination. The enigmatic Eric Chavot was trying out a new berry based dessert which I hope he adds to the menu. Amazing! Just wish i could remember what it was called. My friends dishes of soft shell crab, ceviche, prawns and cod were equally as mouth watering. I would normally have had food envy but you can't go wrong with your order here. Can't wait to go back. Seriously.

Dans un quartier huppé de Londres, une brasserie élégante fréquentée par des hommes d'affaires et des amoureux qui aiment la cuisine d'un chef du Pays Basque.

A gem in Conduit Street, close to Bond Street. Lovely ambience and first class food, wine and service. Highly recommended.

L'intérêt : avoir l'impression d'être à Paris dans une grande brasserie parisienne. L'attrait : une étoile Michelin qui laisse espérer une qualité supérieure à la brasserie parisienne de base. En fait : très décevant. Même si les côtelettes d'agneau étaient délicieuses, elles étaient - après tout - "normalement" délicieuses et accompagnées d'une saucisse d'agneau qui n'était pas annoncée dans le menu et dont le goût très fort dénaturait la plus-ou-moins finesse des côtelettes. Rien de bien extraordinaire. Ayant commandé des escargots pour retrouver les saveurs "parisiennes", j'ai trouvé une cassolette avec des escargots enlevés de leurs coquilles et baignant dans une sauce crémeuse/mousseuse que j'ai personnellement trouvée affreuse - au mieux, très quelconque - et complètement indigeste. Le service était sympathique. Mais bon, l'ensemble n'était pas du tout au niveau que j'attendais.

My second business meal here. dinner was excellent in May as a host. But as a guest today I was unable to feedback that whilst my scallops were as sublime as the first time, the lamb chops were as tough as mutton as if they had been defrosted. A big disappointment. Another cardinal sin was the waitress interrupting my colleague in full flow to ask if we wanted puddings. So for the high price it was rather average

Whilst watching the lovely James Martin on Saturday Kitchen cook Soft Shell Crabs, we heard him mention his favourite place to go for such goodies. This was Brasserie Chavot. My husband being a soft shell crab freak immediately said, "why the heck have we never been there?" As we were due in London the following weekend, I did a quick search and bagged a table for Saturday night. It wasn't too busy when we got there but it was only 7.30pm and I think that Londoners are eating later these days. It did, however, get full by about 8.30pm and the atmosphere was brilliant. We were taken to a nice table just opposite the open pass and given menus. Drinks ordered we had a brief look. I say brief because both of us had already looked on line that afternoon, as we were already fairly sure about what we were having. The lovely waiting staff told us of the Asparagus starter special and the Pork Belly Main, which messed with my decision somewhat but I got through. Fabulous big green olives were ordered with our drinks which were amazing. The "Infamous" soft shell crab starter was crispy and flavourful along with an Aioli dip was declared the best ever. I had the Chicken Liver Parfait which was served on a board with some toasted country bread and a lovely Date and Fig chutney. It was light and very very tasty. Mains followed with the special Pork Belly with Garlic Sautéed Potatoes and a dressed Baby Gem lettuce served with a Dijonnaise sauce. It looked huge and I worried I wasn't gong to get through it but it was so tasty that I would have happily stayed there all night just to finish it. Husband had fillet of Sea Bass with a Ratatouille nicoise which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We ordered some green beans and a chick pea and chorizo side which were both excellent. We asked the sommelier to recommend a wine and surprisingly and refreshingly he didn't immediately point out the most expensive. Unusual for the Capital!! He recommended a fantastic Pinot Noir which went perfectly. Unfortunately, we were both far too full for dessert but I will not make the same mistake next time - and there will definitely be a next time and a next and a next! we eat out a lot (as you can see from my contributions) and this is one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. Eric Chavot serves up faultless French cooking and its no wonder that it is the haunt of foodies and chefs alike. Anyone that knows anything about food will appreciate just how good this is. Outstanding!

This is a typical French Brasserie but without the attitude. Great food with different twists fine wait staff. Let call attention to the Sommelier he is helpful and can work with a budget He found us a great wine we had never tried before I like that Give it a try

I went with some American friends to this resturant. The place looks great and they ate up the faux old-interior. The tables are very close and the staff spent a lot of time trying (and often failing) to hit people as they walked past. The menu is weird. A mix of French and English in the same names ("Les Nibbles"???, "cotettes d'agneau, crushed aioli potatoes". Stick with one language please. Or use French then explain in English. The food, it has to be said, was excellent. I had soft-shelled crab and a main of steak tartare, both of which were very good, if massively overpriced for what they were. The amount of toast with the steak was also very mean. The waiting staff seemed unable to read the table - not knowing quite when to ask for our orders or to take our food. One seemed very upset that one of our party didn't finish her food. The rest seemed to wander around quite a lot and didn't really know who was serving our table - we had at least three at different points in the meal.We had a really nice time and my American friends lapped it up. But I was left with the impression that a smaller, less pretentious place, with fewer customers who couldn't smile due to botox, would have been more fun and cheaper.

A very good 1*michelin, great flavour, great staff specially we had the opportunity to meet the chef. Would recommend.

Very attractive restaurant with well executed dishes from a menu that also contains several unusual offerings like delicious snails served in a light cream foam and great deep fried soft shell crab. As a main, I had a rib eye steak, tender and cooked to perfection but just a little too thinly cut for my taste. Whatever else you order, make sure also to ask for a generous side dish of their chips. The best chips I've eaten in many years. Almost worth coming back just for them! Well chosen wine list. Friendly, helpful service. It's not cheap but well worth it. Warmly recommended.

We were listening to Saturday Morning Kitchen and James Martin mentioned their soft shell crab - it was to die for! (We watch that and go to the restaurants of the chefs rather than cooking the food). Husband had snails - amazing sauce and foam potatoes on them. Best grilled prawns and baby chicken. It was SOOOOO good we ordered dessert which we never do. Chef came out to say hello - charming guy from Normandy. Michelin star should go to this place not those foam and squiggles restaurants like Pollen St Social whose chef on same programme was utterly pretentious

You wouldn't expect it to be cheap in Mayfair, and that bit didn't disappoint ! Service was mostly good, but there were flaws in the order taking. Food was good, although my steak tartar starter, which I was assured would be the best I'd ever eaten, was really only fairly good at best.

The room is spacious and well laid out. Service is top notch and the menu offers a diverse range of options, from traditional French to some slight more exotic dishes. The wine list is varied and has a wide price range, allowing for every budget. Definitely a place to come back to.

One of the finest meals I have ever eaten. I ended up here as a surprise for my birthday, and it made my day. Impeccable service, fantastic wine, nice lighting, and the food was superb! I really really enjoyed my experience here. Highly recommended.

Dinner for two with one cocktail and one glass of wine each was £180. The food was lovely and the service was great, but I left feeling like it was about 20% too expensive without being exquisite. The cannette was incredible, but the broccoli a bit boring. Great stories behind some of the small touches, like butter from a tiny producer in the Pyrenees. The ambiance is great too - very old world brasserie if a rather Mayfair-ish group of diners.

My friend and I really liked this place - the food was good an original, nice selection of wines by the glass and excellent and friendly service.The atmosphere was just right, not too formal, but indeed bistrot style. Not cheap though!

I have named this entry as a 'Wonderful Evening' because from the moment my wife and I entered the restaurant we felt as though we had been regular and valued customers for a very long while. The welcome was excellent as was the service and food. Servinf staff were available at a moments notice but were never intrusive, in fact they were there when we wanted them. For Starters my wife chose the Escargots while I had the Soft Shell Crab, probably the best I have ever eaten and whenever I see it on a Menu I have it, for our Main Course we had the Cassoulet, a truly French Country Style dish, I could not fault it and it was a very generous portion with plenty of meat and not all beans as are some so called Cassoulet's. We did not have a Desert as we were both sufficiently fed. For wine we chose a bottle of Gavi, very reasonably priced and kept at the correct temperature. Even though the bottle was kept cool away from our table our glasses were never allowed to be completely empty yet they always p[oured the right amount, a commendable piece of service. We will be back and I would heartily recommend it to anyone wanting a truly French dining experience.

There's nothing to complain about this restaurant, everything was delicious and the service was exceptional.

Well what can I say about my lunch yesterday at this wonderful piece of France in Mayfair. A superb experience from the friendly welcome to the tour of the kitchen and a chance to meet Eric Chavot and his team. Although I was dining alone I was made to feel very comfortable by all members of the team. Every aspect of the service was faultless, the Sommeliers knowledgable and special mention must go to the Maitre d Ludo who took great care of me all afternoon and took me on the tour of the kitchen, Pollen St Social's loss is certainly Brasserie Chavot's gain.The food was truly wonderful. A fairly straightforward menu which covered most food types you could want. I opted for the soft shell crab which was a very generous portion for a starter, the flavours were amazing and fresh and the seasoning spot on. Main was the Daube de Boeuf with chips and green beans, again very generous portions and the beef just fell apart as it should.Certainly not the cheapest meal but that was partly down to me pushing the boat out with the wine selections. I am not sure why some people are griping about paying for olives, nuts etc like it was a surprise. Yes sometimes they are complimentary in other restaurants but it is quite clear on the menu that you pay for them, I guess some people don't bother to do their research before visiting.All in all great experience, a massive thanks to Eric and his team, I will be back soon.

Good meal and service but somewhat overpriced but good for business lunch

Charming French brasserie with great French staff and food. Well located and don't need a reservation as they have plenty of tables.

Bistro Chavot just oozes unpretentious and welcoming French food and wine know how. Then you get to the food and wine. The food is remarkable in that all the flavours involved are distinctive and at the same time the sum is greater than the parts: this was certainly true of the Cassoulet, veal and sea bass which we had. Starters are simpler but still top notch. The sommelier gave great advice and didn't just guide us to the most expensive wines. Here is also s good selection of wines by the small/large glass and carafe. Bistro Chavot is definitely on our short list for an excellent French meal in London. Not cheap, bug very well worth it!

Surly waitress. Korean/japanese sommelier utterly disinterested. Food very good brasserie style and good value for london standards however do not expect a wow factor. For same money i would recommend galvin bistro, warmer atmosphere, definitely better service and some wow dishes.

You know when you've had an unbelievably good meal when you can't stop thinking & talking about it for the rest of the day, and days later can still recall the exact flavour & texture of dishes. That's what you get at Chavots place. It really is no wonder that this is where all the top chefs eat when they're in town. The flavour & seasoning of all the dishes was honestly as good as I can remember anywhere (we had mackerel & potato salad, spicy bean salad & romaine salads to start...steak tartare & veal stew for mains).Just go, you'll remember the stunning flavours & be thinking about how damn delicious it was for weeks.

I ordered a 4 course meal. The bread and butter was very nice, so as the peppered hazelnuts. Scallop Ceviche is quite good but not too special. The the 3 main dishes are absolutely amazing. The duck is fantastic, very tender and juicy served with very nice diced potato. The sea bream I had here is definitely the tastiest sea bream ever. The pork chop is also really delicious with outstanding quality of pork and mustard sauce, however I do not really like the potato going with it. Overall it was a memorable experience having dinner here and I'll come back soon.

I was lucky enough to eat at 2 michelin starred restaurants in the week before I went as part of a family group to Chavot. I enjoyed the meal here just as much. It is a traditional brasserie, but the quality of the food wasf antastic. Even supposedly simple dishes like cassoulet or scallop ceviche were outstanding. My wife's duck was the best I have ever had. The service was friendly and professional. We will certainly go back

My guest and I arrived and were promptly seated. The wait staff were friendly, attentive, accomodating and knowledgable. We asked for several changes to the standard menu offerings and this was done with a smile.The food did not disappoint and each dish was beautifully prepared and presented. Overall, a superb culinary experience and i will be back.

Very pretty, elegant brasserie in the heart of Mayfair. Charming service from the outset and, even though we were at the latest lunch sitting, with just a few other diners, we didn't feel at all rushed. Food was well prepared and tasty and rather more robust in both nature and presentation than other Michelin restaurants we have visited. My query about the mushrooms was quickly addressed (I have a severe intolerance to certain varieties) and a helping of lovely, sweet chantenay carrots substituted, which matched with the canette perfectly.. We certainly did not go hungry: in fact, of the four of us, I was the only one to plump for a dessert (delicious, light rum baba with pineapple shavings and a big quenelle of creme chantilly but just one criticism - couldn't taste the rum at all!). Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the ambience.

If one goes to eat somewhere with a French name it is not unreasonable to expect it to be largely french. We had a Korean sommelier who was abrupt and hardly spoke to us . We were with some French speaking guests and we were at least assigned an excellent French speaking waiter from Nice. This made the difference in our overall experience. The food was good , although the toast with the salmon starter was burnt. The French fries with the main were over salted and inedible. Are you trying to be a French Brasserie or are you pretending? If you are a Brasserie then charge Brasserie prices and not restaurant prices and get a French sommelier if you think a Brasserie needs one!!! As a Mayfair restaurant the owners would do well to look at the entrance . The awning is discoloured and looking very dirty and tired. Overall the staff were polite and attentive.

This was a disappointment. Instead of a bustling Paris type brasserie with unpretentious meals at reasonable prix fixe menu prices, instead this was overpriced food in an narrow atmosphere free room.Steak frites came without frites, so the (uneatable, cold, oversalted) fries are extra. The place seems to be designed for tourists or those staying at the hotel, who know no better. One would have thought that London had risen above this sort of fake experience combined with mediocre food.
