Colbert in Kensington and Chelsea

Great place for the smart Chelsea set and people watching, and a wonderful restaurant, too. Hamid looked after the three of us and was charming to our 11 year old, who was kept happy with chocolate crepes and orange juice. We adults drank Ayala sparkle and a very acceptable sauvignon blanc. The chopped salad was a treat, but the endive, walnut and Roquefort stole the show. Great steak tartare, too. You get two hours at the table. There’s a cover charge of £2.50pp and a service charge of 15% is added to the bill. Roger Evans

Favourite place for breakfast in Chelsea, keep coming back at least twice a month. Enjoy all possible variations of eggs with toasts. Also love crepes and pastries. An outside seating is just a gem in this area!

Everything is perfect, we ordered steak and duck are very delicious 👍🏻Price is higher but sevice is very good and quick

Such a special location with wonderful atmosphere.

Amazing experience here highly recommended.

This place message me randomly and offer me 500 if I give then a 5 star rating

Great atmosphere, great food, and I loved the service; Michelle was so great.

Food was amazing and the service was also top notch highly recommend

The Food was excellent well presented the service was perfect and the atmosphere was amazing very relaxing

Excellent service Very professional Manager Mr Chen

Colbert is one of my favorite Restro in London. Perfectly located in the heart of Sloane Square, next to the tube station, it’s incredibly convenient to get to. The ambience is very eye catchy and stunning. I especially love the atmosphere at the high-top bar—it’s cozy yet sophisticated, making it ideal for a relaxed drink as a single gal. While I haven’t tried the food yet, it’s looking fantastic and it is must visit place for one and all and I have no more words to describe this restro. I highly recommended people to come here and taste the food.

Wonderful dining experience,food was great wonderful service good atmosphere

Fantastic French brasserie with original French service 😁 Great soup, salad, bread, and the desert was too rich but so good!

Being a local, I have been to Cafe Colbert about 10 times over the past 6 months at different times of day, days of the week and seasons. I am never disappointed. The atmosphere changes depending on when you go in from chique most week-day/Saturday evenings to more informal at lunchtime and Sunday evening. But always ’bubbly’. It’s one of those few places where you can go for a meal on your own and not feel out of place, whether you are male or female. The service is excellent and if you are lucky, quirky. The food is generally very good to excellent and tasty. Perhaps their set menus could be a little more engaging but I am really just nitpicking. It is also a great place to people-watch, whether the amorous couple to your left, the bar-crowd ahead of you or the youngsters outside on the street who seem prepared to brave all weathers for the opportunity of being seen at Sloane Square’s best bistro. We are lucky to have it!

Amazing food and friendly staff I will definitely come back again ✅

Colbert is a great restaurant. Highly recommend.

Wow I don’t even know where to start with this,but let me just say that so far this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been in for my entire life,I loved and enjoyed every minute and every second of my time in this restaurant, the food was delicious like never before the service is on point in fact I can’t wait to bring my family back again we really had a great dinner and we enjoyed the view of the restaurant it was amazing I love it and I will Definitely come back

Great food great atmosphere will deffo visit again

Amazing experience 10/10 service, waiters were always asking us if we needed top-ups. Food was immaculate

My favourite local. Great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Remember you well in there😊 just wish they had a few more vegetarian options available.

We came for a quick breakfast . Elegant place, efficient staff, good coffee.

Poor service, 4 tables available out the front. I asked if I could take a seat and have a quick coffee as I needed to be somewhere I won’t be long. Staff said I wasn’t able to sit as there might be reservations. Just to note I was on my own and clearly just stopping on my way. Bad service

Food was ok, to be honest I expected much more, escargot’s was not salty at all. Place is charming but food extremely average. I was in Colbert some time ago and i kept the place in my memory as a lovely to go again. But place is changed obviously

Location is key, the food is ok

We are regular patrons of one of Colbert’s sister restaurants, Bellanger, so had high expectations of Colbert but left very disappointed. The service is great (although they didn’t tell us about the specials until after we’d already had our starter and I most certainly would have ordered from that menu instead) and they were very accommodating of our small dog and young baby. The food, however, was extremely disappointing, and also heavily overpriced. The steak was underwhelming and the Diane sauce (which you pay extra for) bland and watered down. The sausage and lentil dish small, not very tasty and with poor quality ingredients. The only saving grace was the Jerusalem Artichoke soup which was delicious. For 2 courses for 2 adults and a couple of drinks each the bill wasn’t far off £200 which was just madness for the poor quality food on offer. We won’t be returning.

Lovely víbe and no excessive noise. Could chat easily. Great food.

Lovely experience here! Watched the world go by outside with the warm heaters on during the cold morning. I came here at 8am to have a few cappuccinos & a lovely pure mint tea recommended by Phillip! Also I had the pancakes which were recommended too! Absolute delight & was a pleasure by the waiters. Will be back soon.

We were sitting at the bar while we waited for our table! I loved everything, from the first bite to the last. The flavours were exceptional, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Jesus is very professional and always happy to assist us. Highly recommended!

Great visit today for a catch up and a light dinner ! Not my first time visiting and the food and atmosphere is amazing, would come again 😻

Enjoyed a lovely lazy lunch on Friday. Absolutely spot on in all departments. Should have stayed longer for a few cocktails though. Another time!

A real shame. We like the other restaurants in the group but the food here was average at best. One very good dish but the rest was substandard. Nice people working there though

Great ambience but awful food and service. Steak like a tire and fries like a wet suit.

This place is a perfect example of a fake french restaurant benefiting from its great location but with terrible food and rude receptionists not even greeting guests and treating them as though they should be thankful that they were allowed in to the door despite a reservation. Very arrogant and unfriendly staff and fake version of what is supposed to be authentic french food.

Wonderful food and service in such a busy place is quite surprising to find these days. Chen, Anna, Cristian, and the hostesses are just so efficient, kind and polite. A pleasure. Can't wait to come back.

My husband and I went to Colbert for an anniversary meal. The atmosphere was great, food delicious and service flawless. Our waiter, Julian really made it so special for us. Many thanks!

Yesterday, I went with my mum for early dinner and we both ordered the entrecote steaks. After a 40 minute wait (there were bearly any people at that time) it finally came in by one of the kitchen staff members and she gave us the plates with an attitude as if she was the one waiting! The steaks were really dry and had lots of gristles, they were barely chewable! We left half of the steaks on the plate!!! Nobody asked us how the food was.

We had a wonderful evening at Colbert. We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and were immediately drawn in by its French charm and delicious-looking food. It turned out to be exactly that – and even better. The service was incredibly warm, the food outstanding, and the atmosphere both inviting and lively. It was a truly special night for my mother and me, especially as she was celebrating her birthday and was surprised with complimentary macarons - lovely!! Highly recommended!

We consider the food authentic and very nice, served proper over a tablecloth and with cloth napkins. The attention from the hostess Anna W. was nice too, but although the service of the waiter was correct, it could be considered also in the edge of rudeness. The prices perhaps could also be considered just a little more expensive than others, but what really increase the check could be the entrance fee, plus 15% for service charge, and the 20% VAT. It has service from 8:00 a.m. to around 10:00 p.m. Sometimes it is very difficult to get a table, especially at certain times on weekends, so it will be advisable to book several days in advance. The diversity of clients is enormous, you can find from proper educated and correct well dressed ones, to loud noisy and, even some viperous ones too, but that’s another story and a matter of luck, the place has no fault or anything to do with it.

We had breakfast, it was great! I usually need to ask for extra sausage, or extra bacon, but here the amount of meat on my plate was amazing! They serve the coffee in a large pot, love it! Food was tasty, service was excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant!

everything was great but the Paris Brest was on another God tier level, I highly recommend it....

Ladies and Gentlemen, PSA, the Colbert French Toast is one of my favourites. As you all probably know by now the connoisseur loves French Toast and Colbert absolutely delivered. This is officially one of my favourites and I enjoyed each and every bite. It’s a traditional French toast just the way I like it. Post French toast we decided to try the cheesecake which topped off a brilliant brunch. We have visited Colbert multiple times and loved ever visit. Since one review is allowed per restaurant we have merged our experiences into one for the photos. It includes breakfast and lunch (seated inside and outside). You will see multiple pictures which include French toast, scrambled egg with sourdough bread for breakfast. For lunch you will see the Colbert Hamburger, Le Club Sandwich, Coupe Chocolat Liégeois & Coupe Amandine. Also the Cheesecake. I Highly recommend Colbert. Plus I must acknowledge the outstanding service. Keep it up Colbert.

I arrived slightly earlier than my booking. I was sent to the bar, which was busy therefore I couldn’t get close enough to order. I wanted to have a dinner anyway, not a drink. The hostess advised me to have a drink somewhere else. I still didn’t want to drink, but had a nice dinner across the street.

Speechless to say the least. I mean, just look at the pictures for goodness sakes. Yes, it tasted just as good as them extraordinary pictures I took. As a French Toast connoisseur, I pride myself on being fair in my expertise of reviewing. This French Toast goes up there in my collection. Served for Breakfast only usually before 12 -12:30Pm, very busy, I have some great pictures/ memories of Lunch at Colbert but today was all about the French Toast with fruit compote/cream on the side just like the pic‼️ oh and the simple Scabbled Eggs with Sourdough bread beautifully prepared. Enjoy.

I live in the area so have dined at Colbert a few times. Yesterday, I wanted to take a dear cousin out for an early lunch so booked online for 11:30 am. No where did it state on the site that the lunch service started at 12 noon. There was just a pop-up saying that they could not reserve a table for just drinks or coffee. I didn't feel that was relevant to us as we wanted lunch. We get to the restaurant and the first thing we are told is that we can only have the table for a set amount of time. Fine by us but it's always a bit embarrassing when you're hosting someone for a meal to hear this kind of narrative, rather than "welcome to Colbert. May I take your coat?" We wanted a quick lunch anyway so imagine our surprise when we sat and saw the menu at our table, that only breakfast was being served. When I asked our hostess about lunch, she said we would have to leave our table and wait at the bar until noon and then they will see if they can accommodate us. Since we were already seated, we decided to stay and have another breakfast of an omelette each. The plates came with literally - an omelette. No garnish of any kind, the omelettes sat there looking very sad indeed. Once we finished this, lunch was now being served so we asked if we could have dessert, and again were reminded by the waiter of how much time we could have at the table. We were hardly there 40 minutes at this stage so he said he would have to ask his manager, never mind that multiple tables around us were empty. Anyway, he came back with the dessert menu which we ordered from. Overall, our visit yesterday was disappointing, especially as we wanted lunch but had to make do with an omelette. The waiter was lovely and efficient. The food not bad but basic. The constant reminder about time was embarrassing. Honestly, before we even sat to eat, and then again halfway. It took our appetite away. Covers seem more important than hospitality. Sorry, but as convenient a place as this is for me, it won't be my first choice again.

Been here for breakfast, lunch, afternoon drinks and dinner. And each time I just love it. The atmosphere is magic, and the service is slick. Super busy at all time but that is what makes it special

Everything was perfect the onion soup was great and the steak was medium and tasty.

Beautiful restaurant- service was good, we only had the table for 1 and a half hours but at no time did we feel rushed. Food- Arnold Bennet was delicious as was the wine. If I had any criticism it is that the tables are quite close together so not easy to get around when busy which I suspect if most of the time looking at the popularity of the place. Highly Recommend.

The Colbert is always buzzing, waiting is strangely part of the fun especially if you haven’t book. One thing is fun certain, the team at Colbert will endeavour to accommodate you. The waiting staff are wonderful, specifically John. He is a true gentleman.

Very good brasserie and delicious food Abit pricey but worth it 👌

Popped in for a quick breakfast on a chilly winter morning. Beautiful setting - old style French brasserie offering all day dining. I good service. I was pleasantly surprised at the value - £13 for a good breakfast including service - that’s excellent for London these days especially in a nice place like this. Will go back and try the confit duck for lunch one day.

I love Colbert. My absolute favourite reastaurnt in the world...

I didn't eat. Just spent a few hours having tea (outside) and beers (inside). Beautiful venue. Excellent service. Pricy, yes.

A lovely gem in the hearth of Sloane Square , right in Chelsea. Love the decor, the food and impeccable service. Definately going back

I want to pass my compliment to whoever Runs or is in charge of this French brasserie. Had lunch here and watched the operation and I was pretty impressed. Smooth, everyone had a role and knew what to do, phraseology used on welcome and farewell, also a nice and engaging staff. I work in hospitality so, Kudos to the Team.

What an amazing place. You feel like you are in France, from the decor to the food wich is amazing classic parisienne dishes. Lovely staff, friendly and accommodative as I did not reserve but they found me a table in a restaurant that is super busy at all time. Love it.

Very upset with the managers rudeness tonight. We were there for an early dinner and afterwards I went outside and asked the waiter if there was a table free for me to have a cigarette. He gave me a table and then a few minutes later the manager came over to me and asked me to leave the table as he had customers who were waiting over 30 minutes for a table! It was very embarrassing and he was so rude. I told him I had been given this table by the waiter and if these customers had been waiting for 30 minutes, why was I assigned this table. He just insisted I leave!! I had liked this restaurant but will NEVER come back after his rudeness! He has no idea how to manage a situation whatsoever and should be retrained at the very least!

We like the atmosphere in Colbert and the food is OK but I think the food quality is slipping and the cost is quickly becoming not worth it. The fries last night as originally served to us and when they exchanged them were really not good enough and spoilt an expensive meal and the evening.

Impressive place highly recommended

The pancakes were absolutely amazing. The best pancakes i have tried in london. I tried other dishes like the egg Benedict and again it’s the best egg Benedict i have tried. I also tried avocado sourdough it was also delicious. Their cafe is also quite nice! Their service was really good.

Excellence in every way! A big thank you, we are delighted and will come back as soon as we return to London 🙏🥳🎉! Anne-Sophie and Yves

It was normal to me but bothered me is they asked you that you have to eat not just a cafe ☕️

Colbert is one of my favorite spots for a crafted cocktail in London. Perfectly located in the heart of Sloane Square, right next to the tube station, it’s incredibly convenient to get to. The ambiance is inspired by Parisian bistros and cafés, with a stunning Art Deco-meets-retro aesthetic that exudes charm and elegance. I especially love the atmosphere at the high-top bar—it’s cozy yet sophisticated, making it ideal for a relaxed drink as a single gal. While I haven’t tried the food yet, it looked fantastic and is definitely on my list for next time. A bit pricey for cocktails (expect £18-20) but a must-visit for anyone seeking a classic, stylish experience!

I really loved it! The service is attentive but not intrusive

It’s cramped. It’s noisy. Covers over comfort. The food can be good, but a visit today stopped that and led to this review. Service was not “of standard”. Slow, disorganised. The food was “off” - celeriac remoulade - a big pile of it, was acidic ‘Y’. The cod with white beans special was the most salty thing I have had in a restaurant and inedible. The tarte tatin was incredibly sharp, but I accept that as a personal preference. It needs to step it up.

Very nice place, food was good and service was great

Not cheap but superb will return.

Benedict without ham 10/10 Cafe Creme 4/10

It's special, the staff are totally professional, they don't avoid your eye, they see you, so the service is excellent, the food great and the vibe is there

Souffle was magnificent ! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere I love it there an excellent place to meet people and chat ! Happy xmas

The atmosphere is always fantastic here. Tried the oysters this time round and they were fabulous.

Delicious French brasserie fair . Super attentive staff. Never fails to impress.

It has changed a lot and the whole vine is flat

We visited the restaurant on 16th November. From the beginning I told the waitress I was allergic to any other oils, apart from olive oil and asked her to ensure my meal is cooked with this oil. Also requested brown bread instead of white. She appeared to understand, although did not speak much English. I ordered flat iron steak with Diane sauce, and side dishes were ordered for the table to share - again I reminded her to make sure side dishes did not contain seed oils. When the main course was served it appeared that I was not given any Diane sauce and the explanation was that this contained seed oils. This should have been explained to me at the time of ordering my meal, so I could have selected a different sauce or a different dish. The side orders of Brussels sprouts and potato gratin were just placed at the table with no explanation or confirmation regarding oil content. It took them a while to bring some sauce for my steak, which did not contain seed oils. When the bill came it appeared that we were charged additionally for the brown bread (which we of course refused to pay) and this was nothing special, just 2 slices of basic brown bloomer. I have to say that this was extremely disappointing visit to Colbert. We were regular clients and have always enjoyed the food and service there, but it seems the standards are slacking, although, the prices are rapidly increasing. Being charged £6 for a bottle of filtered water seems unreasonable! In this day and age a restaurant claiming to serve high quality food that mainly cooks with toxic seed oils is just unacceptable! Not to mention that the waitress was not even aware what kind of oil was contained in the different dishes and did not bother to inform us. Furthermore, only offering mini white baguettes as a starter is just not good enough. For a restaurant of choice, healthier wholemeal bread needs to be offered, not to mention that we paid cover charge for that. Overall, the restaurant menu and service needs an improvement and better selection of quality ingredients instead of focusing on cost cutting.

Do not bother yourself standing in the queue cause it will take you forever to find a table. The service is below zero, i did not like how the waitress treated us. She said she’ll find us a table and then pretended like she didn’t see us. Left the place immediately

What a lovely Christmas afternoon!!… while waiting for my party to arrive the Italian guy at door ( john Luke ) I think?? he was amazing very funny and kept me entertained until we were all seated, food was delicious!! PS.. the woman on door was beyond lovely ( think she was Italian or Spanish ) was making us all laugh with the guy!! THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL TIME!!!

Posto molto bello, in una posizione incantevole. Personale molto attento alle esigenze del cliente. Cibo squisito. Il tutto magistralmente diretto dal manager Daniele, sempre attento ad ogni dettaglio. Consigliatissimo.

The Colbert offers a delightful dining experience with a cozy ambiance, excellent service, and high-quality food. Perfect for a special night out, it’s a great choice for those who appreciate refined flavors and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Omelette and pain aux chocolat were great, but a bit expensive for those food. A little noisy inside, but delicious

My favourite place for many years remains the same freshly made food amazing service

Stable quality across all levels. If they improve their food a bit, they will put the Ivy to shame. But they have something else which is valuable for repeat business. They have a good CRM. They seem to know their customer, their preferences, and if they fail to meet a high standard, they realize and correct them. There is something deeply goodninnthe management of this restaurant.

My favourite restaurant in London SIMPLY AMAZING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply the best

The staff were so generous and friendly… my daughter‘s 18th birthday they positioned us in a beautiful seat and without even asking they brought out a birthday dessert, with happy birthday written in chocolate.. very friendly and thoughtful… beautiful touch.. many thanks

Salvador is the best host at Colbert, very friendly and helpful. He always makes our visits joyful.

A very stylish, old-style restaurant. It has more of a Parisian feel. The breakfast menu is not served after 12, the pancakes looked very nice but we missed the time while waiting in line.

5 stars restaurants , nothing more to add. We will com back for sure.

The initial welcome and service throughout was good. The food was excellent. However, unfortunately the lovely feeling of being here was ruined towards the end of the meal. We were asked if we would like a dessert menu. We said yes please. After waiting for the dessert menu to appear for around 10 minutes a male member of staff approached our table, said it was reserved for someone else and we had to leave. I do not understand why we weren't told the duration of the reservation when we first arrived, or why we didn't get a 30 minute warning so we could order dessert in time. I explained we had been offered and accepted the dessert menu, and that I was thinking of having a coffee at least. We were told that if I wanted a coffee we would need to stand at the bar. I said no, we would leave. He had been rude. It was an unpleasant experience and really spoiled an otherwise lovely lunch. Sadly it is unlikely I will return because of this.

Excellent place with classic service and good food

Food amazing - the restaurant felt cold ,& I ended up putting my coat on it because it was so cold.

The service does lack something but the food and atmosphere kind of makes up for it. They serve a great duck confit and a seriously tasty tarte tatin.

I was able to eat there with my family. The atmosphere is good, the service excellent... but real thieves for the price. Be careful, for the French, tap water is almost €10 a bottle, and I had a hamburger (clearly average) for more than €25, and the fries were extra (not marked on the map)

Wonderful staff Good service An amazing tables and chairs comfortable The food amazing! Even the breakfast is delicious and good price for the Quality of food.. My favourite restaurant in London and NY & France ❤️

Lovely staff, great food, good company, Good vibes🤍✨

This venue is perfect for a lovely stop as you continue exploring Belgravia or Knightsbridge on foot. It is also perfect for a nice intimate gathering either personal or professional. It is incredibly well located close to many amenities, public transportation and easy access to key attractions and historic landmarks. I really enjoyed my coffee and cheesecake there. Staff were very friendly and professional. A lovely addition to my must-go-to places! Check it out!
