Cafe Laperouse in City of London, Westminster

Wonderful place to be in! The new team is really attentive. Nice food with a beautiful presentation. And what about the wines? Thank you to the head sommelier! And ,cherry on the cake, the atmosphere is so pleasant !

Excellent evening at the Laperouse café in London, refined dishes, the best oysters we have ever eaten, a giant crème brûlée to share, all accompanied by wines adapted on the advice of the sommelier. I recommend

I was invited by a London friend who wanted to introduce me to this place where you can taste refined French cuisine, it was a pure success, excellent cuisine, unparalleled service, a cozy and cozy atmosphere. , not to mention the good advice of the sommelier. It’s an extraordinary memory!

Very bad service. Have been waiting 30 min for a starter, gave up and left. Extremely disorganized.

Had a wine tasting that was well-organized and fun, with amazing stories and perfect food and wine pairings – absolutely stunning! 🤩

The waiters were very friendly, the atmosphere is pretty nice but a bit noisy. We ordered Escargot and Beef Wellington with sides of mashed potato and seasonal vegetables. The Escargot was a 7/10, it’s good (more earthy taste) but there are definitely better ones out there. The Wellington is absolutely astonishing, the best I’ve ever had (way better than Hell’s Kitchen). The mashed potatoes is nice, smooth, and creamy. The vegetables are steamed and surprisingly fresh. Overall, very recommend.

Fast and polite service from the staff, I will come back again

Loved it can’t wait to come back

We recently visited Café La Peruse with a large group of 14 guests, and I must say, everything was simply flawless from start to finish! Organizing for such a large party can be challenging, but the team at Café La Peruse handled it with grace and efficiency. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and seamless, making sure everyone in our group felt well taken care of. The highlight of the evening had to be the Beef Wellington. It was nothing short of extraordinary—perfectly cooked, with tender, juicy beef encased in a beautifully golden, flaky crust. It’s definitely a must-try and easily the best Beef Wellington I’ve had in London! The atmosphere at the restaurant was gorgeous, warm and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dinner. Every single dish we tried was prepared with the utmost care, reflecting both quality ingredients and skillful cooking. Whether you're dining with a small group or a larger party like ours, Café La Peruse is sure to exceed your expectations. We'll definitely be returning!

This was my second visit, and it was absolutely flawless once again. I chose to celebrate my birthday meal in the Salon with 12 of my closest friends, and the team was exceptional! We were greeted with a beautifully decorated table and experienced outstanding service from the friendliest staff, who went above and beyond to make my birthday special and ensure my guests felt welcome. The atmosphere was fantastic, complete with personalized music and a special birthday dish. I want to give a huge shoutout to our wonderful waiter Raffael and Eltjon for organizing everything and making the day so memorable. A special thanks to the chef for the amazing food—everyone left with very full stomachs! We will definitely be returning; I can’t praise the team and restaurant enough!

Does London really need a French cafe serving beef Wellington in a hotel car park? Food is boring and not very good. We were 4 and two were sick from the food.

Very nice experience. Place outstanding, lightful. Kitchen is a must.

Highly recommended, the starters were amazing especially the oysters were very fresh, the Riesling wine suggested by the sommelier was great, the sea bass mains was very fresh and tasty. Service was amazing from all the staff very friendly and genuine. The prices of the restaurant are pretty good also. I would highly recommend this Restaurant inside the OWO

It is such a beautiful place with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. I enjoyed every minute.

Excellent, from the truffle pasta to the chocolate soufflé

Fantastic place! Delicious food and great atmosphere.

Fantastic service, excellent food. Just wish there was more vegetarian options for the main course.

We had a beautiful meal. The cocktails were lovely and the Beef wellington was amazing. We had a great meal.

We had a great evening and will definitely return.

We had an amazing experience our waiter was lovely and food was Devine. It was a very special evening.

We would like to express our gratitude to the waiter Edward for the excellent service. A very calm, attentive and charming young man. He recommended wonderful dishes, answered all our questions, and lit us up with his smile!

Our dinner last night was wonderful. The attention to detail and the service was perfect. I especially have to compliment and thank the young lady at the desk (I’m sorry that i can’t remember her name, she was Kurdish) who was so kind and attentive.

Beautifully fitted out with the comfiest restaurant chairs I have sat on in my 60 years. Enjoyed perfect gazpacho but the star turn was the Beef Wellington. The lightest of pastry but where did the beef come from? Unbelievable taste. Beef Wellingtons can leave one with the feeling that one has just eaten a boot but not this offering. One could hardly believe that such a chunk of Beef could be digested with such ease and pleasure. Why Beef Wellington in a French restaurant? So the story goes it was Churchill's favourite dish when he visited the original Parisian cafe before and after the War. Beef Napoleon does not have quite the same ring. A real treat and even on my third visit to the OWO it still continues to give up new insights.

Laperouse for celebrating my love ' luna brithday. the restaurant is located in the courtyard of the famous & luxury Raffles London at the OWO. It is a bit expensive ,but the wellington beef is cooked to the best standard in London. Highly recommend.

Perfect food with very good service

Top notch service Staffs were amazing

Great early dinner before seeing a play around the corner.

We had such a great experience! The food was very good, the staff was absolutely helpful and nice, the place is very cozy and the seats are comfy! They are dog friendly as well which is great!

Spectacular service that truly stands out. One of the French waitresses memorized our table order for four people, including starters, mains, and drinks, with zero mistakes. Her politeness and efficiency were exceptional and impressive. The French cuisine at Café Laperouse is simply perfect. We started with an onion soup that was extremely tasty and well presented, followed by a smoked salmon appetizer that was equally delightful. The filet with smashed popcorn was delicious, but the highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the pasta with black truffle – an exquisite dish. The environment at Café Laperouse is serene, with excellent acoustics that allow comfortable conversation without interference from other tables. An amazing place, especially given its location in a completely beautiful hotel. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dining experience.

Charming service, excellent food and wine, quite expensive.

A wonderful evening! Great wine list and food was fantastic 👌. It was a warm day so i was worried it would be stuffy, but when they opened the doors, felt alfresco - it was perfect. Surroundings are spectacular.

The best combination of Paris and London! Amazing food and staff. Incredible venue.

We went there for a Bday.Service was very attentive and the atmosphere great.Eltjon was an amazing host.

Below average experience considering the price. We had to move from the bar to the restaurant area in the cold and without our coats (in the cloakroom). In the restaurant the pianist was far too loud for the size of the room (take away the mic), and the service was quite average, possibly because the waitress could not hear us due to the pianist. On the plus side, the food was great. Sadly the wine is overpriced (£25 for a small glass of red, £28 for a glass of entry level champagne). We left thinking we should have gone somewhere else for our special occasion (birthday)

Perfect ambiance and location.The staff was amazing as the food.Will definitely return

Very beautiful and romantic restaurant! I loved the decor. Steak and Malbec were nice. Perfect for a date night!

Stunning venue, stunning food, attentive staff.

I have to say, my last experience at Cafe La Peruse was absolutely flawless. The team under GM Marco was so attentive, caring and knowledgeable. The food, as always, was impeccable - I had the beef filet and my husband the lamp chops (recommended by Marco) and we couldn’t have been happier with our choices. The atmosphere was relaxed chic and we left feeling on cloud 9. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend the restaurants as one of the best additions to the London restaurant scene in a long time. Thank you Marco and team for the best evening!

The grill lamp was terrible, no tender at all The best food is mash potatoes

Beautiful, romantic Parisian style restaurant with live piano music and singing - the perfect date night restaurant! Have been here twice and will certainly visit it again. Highly recommend the Sea Bass, the Dover Sole and the crème brûlée! My partner had the pepper steak and said it was delicious.

Easily one of the best places to be. That vanilla cake was divine! Staff were also really nice!

Amazing restaurant, food was truly incredible, the staff is extremely friendly and the ambience is great! Would défi definitely recommend!

main portion was too small - the price too high for the size

Lovely place!! Great food, people and atmosphere!! I would definitely go back.

We had an amazing lunch as always. Steak was very tender and the sea bass was full of flavour. Amazing experience, great service.

Stunning architecture by Daewha Kang, delicious food by Thierry Labord, the truffle rigatonni is the best i have ever had, the profiteroles is excellent. Service is impeccable. We went for a spa treatment afterwards. What a beautiful mothers day gift for my wife. Very happy. Strongly recommended.

Good food, but the piano player was too loud and everyone was shouting in the restaurant. Not exactly romantic or sophisticated

Stunning place, absolutely incredible! I literally fell in love with the place 😍 all the staff was a delight but hands down for Richard who has been such a sweetheart and made the whole experience a night to remember. Thank you so much Richard for your kindness ! The manager Elton has been adorable too. Food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Perfect ❤️ The ambiance of the place is wonderful, and the staff are extremely cordial and attentive. Special thanks to Edvardas Bojevikas for his service.

At Café Laperouse, Richard and Elton provided impeccable service. Their attention to detail and warm demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. From their prompt seating to their thoughtful recommendations, every interaction was a delight. Their professionalism and hospitality set a high standard for service in the industry. Looking forward to dining here again.

A nice Parisian touch in London! Super cosy and intimate , perfect date night spot or a place you’d like to celebrate a special occasion 🕯️ French onion soup 🌟 and the lobster and truffle toast 😍

Wonderful! The staff is very nice and polite, the food was magnificent. The atmosphere is just 🤌🏻 *chef’s kiss* Would definitely recommend

Beautiful place for a date night, lovely friendly staff. However the French onion soup was slightly too cheesy for my liking but other than that, the other dishes we had tasted amazing! Would definitely go back

Celebrating my birthday at Laperouse London was an absolute dream come true. This hidden gem in the heart of the city surpassed all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff showered us with warm hospitality, guiding us through a menu that was both exquisite and innovative. Each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly blending traditional French flavors with modern flair. The ambiance was enchanting, with every corner of the restaurant exuding elegance and charm. Surrounded by friends and loved ones, blowing out the candles on my birthday cake felt like a moment frozen in time. Cafe Laperouse offers an unparalleled dining experience that is as memorable as it is magical. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a desire for culinary indulgence, this restaurant is a must-visit destination in the city. In short, my birthday celebration was truly unforgettable, and I can't wait to return for more cherished moments in the future.

Beautiful,french,tiny restaurant in London offers incredible french dinner experience.Perfect place for a cute dinner date with your loved one or with your family or friends.Highly recommend the pasta with truffle that was delicious and you cannot miss out on the escargots that are the restaurant’s speciality. Located in the heart of the ovo raffles hotel the whole atmosphere of the restaurant makes you feel so good and cosy.Cannot wait to go back.

Sat at the bar and had great service from the bartender Pedro. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The drinks were Fantastic!!

Amazing experience, cocktails and atmosphere. Just went for drinks with friends at the bar, Pedro made great drinks and made the experience amazing! Will come again for the service and drinks! Highly reccomend!

Pedro took excellent care of our visit, I went to have a drink with a friend of mine and even not only learning more about cocktails but about spirits too. Was lovely to try new drinks and spirits I’ve never had before.

Hugely disappointing. Originally booked for our anniversary. Received a dismissive email a few days beforehand cancelling because they were 'not open that night' - no explanation as to why therefore they had taken the booking in the first place. Rebooked for my birthday. The building is fabulous - that's not the problem. The starter was supposed to be duck liver pate with foie gras, but was actually just a slice of what looked and tasted exactly like pork pie tossed on a plate with some salad. The main was lobster tagliolini, which was quite nice, but the biggest let-down was the service. The staff seem to think that the best strategy is to interrupt the meal repeatedly with an 'everything okay?' but not be watching the floor and be ready to respond: It took me over ten minutes just to catch someone's eye. We ordered a very nice wine (as advised by the sommelier) to go with the starters, but it wasn't served with the starters and by the time it arrived (about 15 mins later) we'd already eaten most of the starters. We stayed for the mains but didn't even bother with dessert - the experience was that bad. The maitre d was suitably embarrassed when challenged and took a third off the bill. So if you want to pay two thirds of the rather large bill for one third of the experience, it's the place to go. Otherwise, avoid. We went on a Saturday night (7pm) and the place was more than half empty. Considering our experience, it's really not surprising. I'm sure this review will prompt a sincerely worded condolence from the management - but I'd suggest they are trading on the venue and not the experience.

Excellent very well made classic food in a charming little space

Diya was amazing! The food was lovely and we loved the wine. I recommend the white wine and chicken. Great for a birthday

Diya was amazing what a Fantastic experience for experience

Dia was an excellent server and highly recommend her for a promotion. I would come back just because she was attentive and hard working.

Very very nice place but the food was not very good. Starters and bread were very disappointing , however the fish and meat was very nice. Desserts were wonderful.

A wonderful lunch in a bright, welcoming setting. The attention to detail is spot on. Nothing is too much trouble. I look forward to returning to this gem - or should that say shell 🐚

The atmosphere was nice but if you are actually going there to eat something, don’t because you cannot. We waited for 1.5hrs for our dinner to come and we were told every 5mins that our dinner would be served in the next few minutes but that never happened so we had to leave without eating anything. Would not recommend.

An excellent restaurant, more of a romantic place, I recommend it for lovers,

Average food, nice place in a courtyard good service

Amazing coffee and great atmosphere

Nothing but the best Parisian flavour equal to Paris. Service was superb, the manager Victor is simply the best,

Had excellent food and greatly attentive service by Richard, highly recommend the seabass and crème brûlée!

The most beautiful restaurant I visited lastly in London, it is like a glass room inside Raffles Hotel😍 I tried the cappuccino and Profiteroles😋😋 so yummy and their decoration amazing , elegant and simple at the same time🤩 definitely I will visit again for lunch or dinner 😍 it’s my new spot in London now🫣😍😍enjoy the photos and videos .

The experience was delightful, I really recommend the place, the food was amazing and the service even better.

Beautiful restaurant! Alex was amazing!

Great food and even better service. Alexandra and Sofia were extremely attentive to us throughout the whole night and ensured that we had an amazing time. Went for my friends and I’s annual Christmas dinner and will definitely be coming back.

Alexandra was so lonely and kind and gave the best service here!! Will def come again

I had a delightful evening at Lapérouse London. Delicious cod with coconut milk, unique dishes, and a very warm atmosphere. What truly made this exceptional was the service. Our server, Alexandra, was not only friendly, but incredibly attentive.

Got served by Maya and had a 10/10 service :)

Great food and great service. Alexandra did a great job :)

We loved our server today, he was so attentive and really looked after us. Thank you Richard, you are excellent!

Our server Mya was completely delightful and a breath of fresh air. The manager was open and welcoming. All was wonderful.

Had a lovely anniversary dinner at the restaurant - thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating and welcoming - particularly Eltjon and Phoebe who added to the brilliant experience

Amazing restaurant and food. Magic atmosphere and the staffs were so lovely and kind!

I highly recommend this Bar where the Bartender Maurizio will make you relax and welcome enjoying his wonderful cocktails

Looooved the venue! Amazing atmosphere, yummy food and great service!

great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. It's a must-visit for a quality dining experience.

As good as the Parisian one , it always a great experience, amazing atmosphere and 5 stars for the beef wellington!

I was expecting a lower standard compared to Laperouse in Paris when I heard it was "Café Laperouse" however I was really impressed! The service was very good and the food was amazing! I would personally recommend the chicken with morel sauce and the profiteroles for dessert!

Food was great reminded me of an upscale NAC. Our waitress was pleasant and relatable.

We had very good dinner at cafe laperouse . Know the place in Paris , couldn’t to try it . Excellent food and service .

Amazing service from the best Mauritzio

Excellent evening at Cafe Laperouse. The food was exceptionally good, as was the service. Lovely staff who seamlessly corrected something that went inadvertently wrong with our order. Beautiful location in the courtyard of the new Raffles hotel.

The food was delicious, the service was perfect. The staff is so friendly, professional and attentive to the small details. The setting is beautiful; I cannot wait to come back!

If you’re looking for a space that caters for both your heart and your needs, then this is your bar. Maurizio will help you channel what you want into an order that will leave you gobsmacked. It’s always the personal touch that always makes a difference between a chain and a chain with a difference.

Had such a lovely evening! Delicious and tasty food. Particularly loved the chicken and morilles mushrooms. Loveliest staff, so smiley and helpful! The piano vibe in the Salon Lapérouse is also so good. Really loved it! Will absolutely be coming back! Thanks team!

Delicious french brassiere . Excellent food

Absolutely disappointing. 20 pound for a water-based americano cocktail! No amex accepted!!! Ridiculous

Excellent Location service and food One of the best chocolate soufflé in London

Such an experience ! Everything is simply perfect about this place. Highly suggested.
