Cepages in City of London, Westminster

Lovely food and cosy atmosphere one of my fav restaurants in the area

A loevly evening. Excellent food and a great choice of wines.

Been a client since many years and also celebrated my husband bday there with 20 friends. Always a delight

A great evening - perfect taster plates to share and plenty of them and of course excellent wine

Magical, as always . Never fails to impress. Lovely romantic place.

Hadn’t been in several years. Mostly struck by the decline in food. Used to be a good selection of proper brasserie food. Now has a lot of hit and miss tapas plates. Pork belly was excellent, but pineapple ceviche was not very good at all. Same with crème brûlée foie gras, a dish we don’t need. More competition than ever in the neighbourhood. They need to step up their food game.

Excellent little wine bar with great service. Felt at home here.

Lovely ambience and great service, but very poor meal. All 3 of us thought it was poor - no real taste and very disappointing. Great waiter and front of house though!

I love this place. I have loved for a number of years. We aren't local - but it has always been worth the trip. However, the sharpness that is usually present seemed to be lacking last nightThe service was attentive and friendly, may be a little slow and the usual knowledge (food and beverage) was lighter. The food was mixed. The potatoes were bland and unappetizing. The Belly pork, muscles and black pudding were excellent. The cheeses plate was unimaginative. The wine list was a good as usual. I was left feeling a little disappointed. I put it down to lacking sharpness - this place usually has a swagger with attitude! I will return (when in town) because this was a gem of a place. I hope next time the mojo has returned

The consistency of Cepages has been the recipe for it's success. A redacted menu has almost helped in not getting us to go overboard when we visit now. Staff are always cool and excellent. It almost feels like a hidden gem still.

We went for our two year anniversary and were greeted with a glass of champagne on the house which was lovely. However, after that things weren’t so good. We gave our orders to the waitress (manager), and having nearly finished our starters we enquired as to where our cheese board was as it hadn’t arrived yet. A waitress said it was still coming. We then received our mains which were below our expectations. We had the mussels - which had so much mustard sauce in it it was overpowering and filled with seeds. The second main was the belly pork which was tasty, however a very small portion. Overall the experience was far below our expectations and having been blown away by them for our first anniversary, we were disappointed in the service (forgetting our order completely) and the quality of the food itself. To note the gentleman waiter that topped up our wine was very nice and cheery.

We have been to this restaurant several times and have enjoyed it, but the menu this time was very disappointing. A main course described as a 'croque monsieur' was just a toasted brown sandwich and a quite expensive fish dish had precious little fish in it. won't be going back again.

We'd been going to Cepages for a long time and always enjoyed times with our family and highly recommended it to our friends! This latest visit was not exactly the same though the food and drink is still good. We felt that the menu had been reduced to the point that a small lunch may be alright but not quite sufficient for dinner?! It'll still be a place to go to but sadly not as frequent anymore.

Amazing food Great wine list Cosy with a serene ambiance Superior service

The menu was slightly different than expected. The website menu had more smaller plate options which was our experience on previous visits.However the food was delicious especially the lamb shoulder. A lovely experience with friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

Cépages est mon pèlerinage traditionnel chaque fois que je visite Londres. Tous les plats sont fabuleux (bien que la carte ait été un peu trop réduite depuis ma précédente visite); je ne citerai ici que la crème brûlée de mousse de foie gras... j'en salive encore. Cela doit être ma 4ème ou 5ème visite, et il y en aura d'autres!

The food was exceptional. This is a great little place for catching up with friends over exquisite meal.

Delicious, but I wanted to suggest more vegetarian/ vegetables options in the menu.

Really excellent local brasserie with superb wine list. Can't understand why it has been overlooked by the Michelin guide!

Lovely venue. Friendly attentive staff. We felt the menu was limited. The food was however all delicious. Sharing dishes on the small side. Interesting wine choices. 80's pop music playing was a little intrusive and a but too loud and felt wrong for venue. Overall a pleasant night.

Waiting staff were poor and uninformed and although we understand the concept of small plates everything was served within 20 minutes which is not great for an evening out.

Food was amazing and friendly staffs. All in all perfect for an evening out with my girls

Amazing food and attentive staff. Strongly recommended!

Truly delicious food, great atmosphere, very helpful and friendly team Thanks so much, we had a wonderful dinner!

Amazing choice of wines, delicious food and gorgeous ambience

The whole evening was amazing. Great food fantastic service and good seating. I was amazed how busy it was but how the waiting staff just glided about serving. I only had to catch any of there eye and they were on hand to take the order. The food is all small plates and when ever I asked about what a dish was , We had it explained. The food is so good and the Desert was amazing. Never had anything that good before.

Good food, attentive service, a bit slow for a Tuesday night. Everything was up to standard and we'll happy come back. Little request, bring back tge foie gras poele.

Food is good but portions could be bigger. The been onglet was too small. They need to give more bread with the fois grois creme brullee

Good food and wine, bread comes with the dishes that require it, which is a plus. The wine is a little expansive, but when is it not? Nice and intimate decor, good service. Would recomend it to a friend.

We had great time. I recommend this bistro for a night date.

Absolute gem! Great wine selection, food was fantastic and typically French, all in all a great evening and would recommend!

My absolute favourite French bistro in london! So romantic but so great for a big group to have the sharing plates. I love so much ♥️

I discovered this restaurant a couple of years ago and always been a Fan of The Ambiance and delicious Food . One of my absolute favorite address in London. Flo

Great food, great atmosphere, great team and amazing chef!

Food was inedible! Used to be good - but all dishes we tried aside from the cheese - were terrible

Great atmosphere- excellent service- delicious food, definitely i am going to visit again soon

Nice food and atmosphere! Service could be improved

Food and wine was very good. Camembert could have had more flavor . Fish and brulle were good! Service was so -so .

Such a cosy French restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, good portions and great atmosphere (perfect lighting). Great selection of good - Bought one of the cheapest bottles of whites and it was really fresh and smooth. Highly recommend for date night or dinner with friends and families

Really like this restaurant it’s cosy and unpretentious

The place is really really nice and cozy. The service is good and waiters are really welcoming. We have waited a bit too long for one of the dishes. They kindly sent us a baked Camembert with some sourdough bread. We thought it was on the house bc of the long wait but it showed up on our bill. Bit weird as we did not order it. We still ate it of course and paid it. I don’t know if it was miscommunication on our part. Anyway, v good place

Chouette petit bar à vins situé à Notting Hill. La cuisine y est simple mais savamment bien exécutée… L’ambiance y est conviviale et les prix plus que raisonnables. Le cadre est juste splendide et on a l’impression d’être dans un petit troquet français. Chouette expérience! Nous y retournerons sans hésitation!

One of my favourite French restaurants in London. Amazing, cosy food and great selection of wine.

A beautiful setting, excellent service and delicious food and drink. Will definitely be returning.

Amazing place, always great atmosphere and service

Wonderful experience, the staff are outstanding, rivalled only by the black pudding

Tasteful decor and welcoming ambience. The staff are friendly, helpful and totally professional and there’s a calm and unhurried air about the place. The small plates menu has delicious and inventive combinations of texture and flavour - four dishes between two provided a very satisfying dinner, all washed down by a good bottle of wine recommended by the knowledgeable sommelier. Noise levels are gentle with music played at a comfortably low level. As we left the restaurant, we were plotting our return.

Cozy, small restuarant. The staff were great, service was spectacular.

Lovely wood and brick vibe. Innovative small plates playing on the classics.

Really cute French Wine Bar/Bistro - great selection of wines and food was exceptional

not real food, tastes like microwave meals from the freezer

We enjoyed the selection of sharing plates in an intimate setting and the service was absolutely fabulous. Definitely recommend!

Very good food combined with great ambience and service. The ideal local restaurant

Super wine recommendations, great food to go along with it

A fantastic neighbourhood restaurant - French dishes, tastily executed and with a twist.

We only stayed for drinks and nibbles so can’t fully judge food the but great atmosphere wine selection service etc definitely worth the visit

Loved Cépage, can't wait to go back. Superb food, excellent service, why am I telling you this? I want it all for my wife and myself.

Warm welcome. Wait staff a little terse and not informative for a first time diner. Food and wine very good.

Amazing! So so delicious and the ambience is perfect. Would go 100 times more.

The food was very disappointing and a lot of it was burnt

Always great! Fab selection of wines and bread and charcuterie board are my personal favs

Always fantastic - personal service, creative food well executed. Interesting wine list with both classics and gems. Nice vibe. Great value based on the quality.

Lovely quaint restaurant, with amazing (and reasonably priced) wines. Food is excellent and well presented and the ambiance is great for an intimate meal with friends or a date.

The food is pretty average. The ambiance is great though and a decent wine list.

very nice ambience, very friendly staff, and the food was good, but was much more memorable a year ago. The service was slow.

Highly recommended. The food is seasonal, imaginative, artistic and delicious. The staff are attentive and they really understand the menu - their recommendations are worthwhile. The ambience is great - quiet, but still plenty of people enjoying a quiet drink and meal together. Highly recommended, will be back (again).

Discovered this place years ago and I’m still an unconditional fan. Seasonal, modern and delicious food. Sharing plate system, what’s more familiar ? We Lovin it I always feel like at home spending time there. Floor team giving unforgettable service for every single visit. See you soon !

Great place , with good selection of French wines. Food is fantastic. Coming back every 2 weeks.

Delicious food as always and really friendly, knowledgable staff. Lovely evening.

Definitely going back. Exceptional all the way round.

Food was very good! We had 6 dishes for two of us and it was the perfect amount. The rabbit gnocchi was our favorite.

this place is an aphrodisiac..... what a night!!!!

No cutlery ready for the food multiple times, I had to grab the snails with the yards and eat them with the lamb knive that was embarrassing for me and for my parthner it was her bday. Plus the kir royale served in 2 different amounts, that was awkward especially between different customers. When I asked why my glass contains less drink than other people the waiter smiled and saying “yeh.. eheh” and walked off… odd.. by the way I know how London works out n terms of restaurants.. but.. it was a Saturday evening, I specified birthday and it wasn’t even busy. Sorry. Thanks.

Cépages is my pilgrimage destination when I visit London, and it never disappoints. This time I was a bit sad when I saw that the pan-seared foie gras was not on the menu anymore, but it's been replaced by a foie gras on crème brulée which is an absolute killer. We ordered another one even though our stomachs were already full. Looking forward to my next London pilgrimage at Cépages!

What a find! Excellent food, great wine list and the staff were just lovely. The tapenade and mussels were our standouts. If you’re in Westbourne Park, eat here.

An absolute delight from start to finish. A fantastic selection of wine which you would expect in a French wine bar. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a really homely and pleasant atmosphere. And the food was wonderful. Small plates done with exquisite style and panache. Our favourites - the monkfish and squid ink risotto and the simply divine pommes dauphines. Reasonably priced as well. My only regret is that it isn't nearer to home. I'd be there every Friday night otherwise.

We had a wonderful time, food, wine and service incredible.

Lovely restaurant with a very interesting menu - flavour of France in the heart of London. The food was delicious - tapas portions which allowed you to try different dish and flavour. I will definitely book this place again for small or larger parties.

Great little bistro. Superb food. Lovely atmosphere.

Lovely neighbourhood spot . Charming staff - felt at home

The food is quite good, the service is very casual, with two very young and inexperienced waiters who look like they just got out of bed (one was having breakfast/lunch at the counter giving their back to the entrance and showing a few inches of underwear due the low cut jeans). The big disappointment was the wine, 50 pounds for a very bad white wine, who had probably passed its time and had a vinegary taste (it was a 2016 bottle). Overall spending 114 pounds for 4 mall dishes to share (had to order more bread as what was served wasn't enough to finish the dishes) and one disappointing bottle of wine does not make it convenient for a casual lunch out. The atmosphere is very nice though.

Amazing food and wine, great atmosphere for a date night

trendy, young, cozy, nice, portions should be bigger ))

What a wonderful hidden gem and just round the corner - I have frequented cepage(s) on many occasions over the years and it never disappoints. The ambience is superb for a quiet low key drink and chat or a romantic dinner/date or catching up with friends. The menu always delivers quality produce and presentation and flavours are superb. Charcuterie and fromage selection was delicious as always. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming and knowledgeable and give you time and space to enjoy your evening but are very attentive when required at the same time which makes the experience even more enjoyable. 5 stars and long live cepage(s) what a super special spot.

Overall, I was unfortunately disappointed. The wine selection certainly did not meet my expectations in terms of quality and had a very high mark up (compared to the bottle retail price). In terms of food, it was okay. I liked the menu, the dishes were not amazing (some lacked taste), but it was generally good.

Food was delicious paired with great wine. The whole atmosphere was a perfect night out.

The wine recommendation was great. Really lovely service and the beef tartare and monkfish was delicious.

Booking was for 3 people so allocated 2 hour slot, was told table was needed after 1.5 hours and just brought the card machine to pay. No warning or even allowed to finish bottle of wine.

This used to be one of our favourite restaurants years ago, but having returned 3 years later, we left incredibly disappointed. While the staff were all nice enough as people, the service was appalling. We had to ask at least 3 times for anything we wanted as it kept being forgotten and that was if we could even get anyone to come over at all. It wasn't so busy that they didn't have time, it was just lack of attention. We ordered an expensive bottle of Bordeaux, but it was brought with out decanting and incorrect glassware. Other drinks weren't even brought, so we had to cancel them. It made the night unrelaxing to constantly be chasing. We asked for the service to be removed and they didn't even ask why, or show any care for it, and then didn't remove it as we paid! So we had to then go back again to get a refund for the service. Not the best way to end a meal! However, the food is delightful - but bring back the fillet steak to the menu, it was to die for!

Loved it - lovely food and wine. Good service. Slightly expensive but worth the treat.

Such an amazing hidden gem. Will keep coming back here

Cepages is the perfect combination of an intimate space, amazing wine list and delicious sharing plates.

Scallops were off, the rest of the food didn’t taste fresh, I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it’s just not worth it

A true neighbourhood gem, perhaps a little noisy on the weekend but perfect for a casual midweek dinner with friends.

One of the nicest restaurants in West London. Exceptional food with a great wine list to choose from. Always bustling but the atmosphere is great and the service is also very good

I always dine at Cepages when I visit London. It is superb, every time. You can order just what you like, and then a bit more, and there is eau de vie at the end!, framboise or Poire Williams are my favorite!

We had the most memorable meal at Cepages Wine Bistro. There were 6 of us and we had a lovely table in the center of the restaurant and drank gorgeous wine! Our server was very helpful. The menu is a bit challenging - I realized it's small plates, so with our big group we needed a bit of guidance on what to order and how much- our server made great suggestions and we had an eclectic mix of great dishes that were more than enough for everyone. The restaurant is just charming and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. It seems like a little local gem of an establishment. We walked from our hotel in Paddington and it wasn't far at all. I'd love to come back with my husband next time I'm in London. One last note - you definitely need a reservation - it's not a large place.

Lovely place, Manager and team were so welcoming, the food is superb as is the wine of course - and a warm, happy, neighbourhood vibe!

good service and food，the atmosphere was nice. My friend and I had a great dinner here.

Authentic French bistro food are done well. Not pretentious and just a lovely place. I've been there twice recently and will definitely go back soon. This is my current favorite place.
