Emile's in Wandsworth

Fuimos con unos amigos que viven en el segundo a la última noche antes de cerrado. Supongo que esta crítica es por lo tanto inútil!

Final meal at Emile's before he shut his doors for good! Devastating loss to Putney eateries.

First Visit after many years of consideration. Our joint retirement celebration meal as a treat for ourselves. Felt very relaxing and comfortable even if not the most luxurious establishment around. Very busy but the food was wonderful and we both enjoyed ourselves in an establishment which feels quite individual and genuinely local. Would definitely recommend but no point as restaurant closes down today (28/7/2017) as one of the owners is retiring himself. Probably explains the high number of diners taking their last opportunity to eat there. I am sure it will be missed.

We have eaten at emiles several times and always had a lovely time and delicious food. It was my birthday celebration and we met with my family looking forward to a bountiful feast. Unfortunately the chicken dish my Wife and mother had were so dry and tasteless. We obviously complained but little was done to rectify the problem.. they offered to give a glass of wine but this was still charged to us and only one meal was taken off the bill. The waiter serving us also didn't really Seem interested,...

I am so sad this delightful little restaurant is closing. It has long held the standard for me of high quality food at a very reasonable price. The wine list is magnificent too. The staff are exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I, along with Putney's restaurant scene will miss Emil and his team. Thank you for the wonderful meals and memories.

After many attempts to try out Emiles we finally made it. I can only echo everything positive that has been previously said. Emile is lovely, warm and welcoming. The food is plate licking good. Wine is resonably priced. I will be going back as frequently as I possible can! Absolutely love it! What a gem.

Excellent food and service for a very reasonable price

Lovely local restaurant. Great food and service.

Lovely meal.... Emile's will be very hard to replace. Go while you can!

Excelente en todo. Plácido, Excelente servicio. Esta vez tuve el Foie Gras entrante que fue divino, y, por supuesto, el individuo nunca falla ternera Wellington con su repostería. Melty . . . Super relajado, a un precio razonable de Prosecco. . . . Por favor ir antes de salir este mes. . . . lo extrañaremos. Una institución de Putney . .

Unpretentious tasty French themed food, nice staff, relaxed atmosphere

Many mention the lack of attention to the surroundings and that's the first thing that strikes you, it's basic with a few frills to try and hide it. The food was OK, but under seasoned and often confused and trying to hard - popcorn with roast guinea fowl? It's hidden, but not a gem.

Another absolutely beautiful meal at Emiles. As usual a friendly and warm welcome, excellent service and menu advice, divine food, and relaxing ambiance. I would recommend this restaurant to absolutely everyone, we've eaten here a number of times and its well worth the hours journey. You enter on your first time as a stranger and leave as a friend already looking forwards to your next visit. A thorough 10/10

Having recently discovered this local restaurant, we have visited four times in as many months and find it consistently attractive and welcoming. Cooking can vary from occasionally disappointing and over complicated to outstanding. Their policy of constantly changing menus (apart from two renowned favourites) is a bit irritating as one hurries back to enjoy a dish only to find it gone. Apart from that, highly recommended.

First time and it was great. Lovely little black board as a menu and the owners serving. We will be back!

I have been going to Emile's since the early eighties and it does not disappoint. Emile is a wonderful host making everyone very welcome. My favourite restaurant in Putney.

Yo realmente quería disfrutar de esta familia de reunirse a Emile que debe ser uno de los mejores restaurantes a poca distancia de nuestra casa. La comida estaba bien, más que genial, aunque enormemente mejor que muchos restaurantes de Londres y sin duda volvería a comer allí de nuevo.

have been twice now, always ordered the famous beef wellington, although the size has gone smaller since I had it 4 years ago :p One of my favourite restaurants in London, love the clean and bright deco, the wine list was brilliant! food is fresh and delicious, waiters are soooo nice!!

Emile' reputation preceded so expectations were high. Yes, I had the beef Wellington and the soufflé and was not disappointed. Nice cheese selection. I thought good value and we had a great night!

Very enjoyable evening. Food was generally excellent. Set menu with reasonable selection of choices. Our table was a little cramped for 5 people.

Emile's is a popular and intimate local restaurant, serving great food at reasonable prices. Attentive service with a good atmosphere. A form favourite.

Getting over the fact that Emile's looks like a converted front room, the venue lets the food do the talking! Ever changing menu, with seasonality at the forefront, the menu has a wide selection of dishes to tempt everyone, your only issue will be having to choose! All the food was perfectly cooked, delicious and pretty good value at £35 for three courses. Nice wine list with affordable options, unusual for the area, and very balanced across new and old world. Well worth a visit, and don't be put off by the unassuming outside!

Brilliant restaurant with wonderful food & service- loved it!!

Wow what a great spot. The food is exceptional, the wine is incredible and the service is seriously good. This is such good value for money. the set menu option is well well worth it. We will absolutely be back time and time again.

Our 2nd visit to Emiles and once again the food and service was very good. It lacks ambience but is an excellent local restaurant in Putney.

Excellent as always. Beautiful menu - the hake and prawns was so delicious. Menu changes each month and is a delight. Good wine list and reasonably priced. Staff attentive and knowledgeable - proprietor goes out of his way to make you enjoy the evening!

Emile's is a place we always go back to, a great restaurant that offers great food and the service is also first class. Never disappointed ... we use it for special occasions. Always best to book a table .

Recientemente cenamos en este restaurante conveniente de barrio con dos personas mayores que necesitan poder aparcar muy cerca. Nos quedamos impresionados con la cordial bienvenida y atención a nuestras necesidades y desde el elaborado descripciones de cada plato tenía ganas de una excepcional comida. De hecho, el primer plato era delicioso y los divinos, pero los cuatro principales campos profundamente decepcionante. Dos en particular estaban muy por encima de muchos sabores, fussiness todas la competencia y sin duda porque de presentación tratando desesperadamente en frío, prácticamente en el momento en que llegamos a la mesa. Nuestros amigos suyos también admitió que era bastante horrible. Nos gustaría volver a comprar dos entradas en vez de arriesgarse a la desesperadamente los intentos de una overenthusiastic aburrido o inexperto chef. Considerando todas las cosas, era bastante caro.

About as perfect a local restaurant as anyone could want. A menu which is bursting with more dishes than is polite to want to eat in one meal, a wine list that is as rich as it is unpretentiously priced, and based on how they treat my coeliac wife, service levels that are worthy of a Michelin star. We will be back and the sooner the better.

Have lived in Putney for 9 months and wouldn't have known about this place were it not for coming across it on OpenTable. What a hidden gem! My new local favourite. The service was wonderful, food delicious (hard to choose - so many tasty options!) and we were given a great wine recommendation. Notable dishes were the cheese souffle, monkfish starter, beef wellington and duck sausages. We were still talking about it the next day and can't wait to go back!

Lovely food, great service. Superb value, as usual.

Emile always makes the effort to say hello, and they really took effort in accommodating my request of a table for my mother who recently had an operation. This is very much a friendly neighbourhood restaurant but dont let that keep you away if it's your first time or not a local. Menu is great and everything we ordered was fabulous. The only slight negative for me is that the vibe is quite low key, it's quite quiet, which for most guests is what they're looking for. My family are loud though so I normally go somewhere with a bit more background music, although we felt very comfortable

We celebrated my boyfriend's 30th at this place and the service was lovely. The beef wellington and crab bisque was the best I've ever had. Lovely spot off the main high street. Would definitely be back!

We went for Mother's Day, the food and service was excellent. Very good wines at reasonable prices Strongly recommend this place

Emile and his team were fantastic! A great experience with great food, will return. Thank you Emile

Second visit having only discovered recently and what a gem - Emile is still there after more than two decades which is a huge accolade - proper restaurant!

Brilliant high quality fine dining. Hidden away ,but well worth seeking out.

Absolutely fantastic - returned after a break of a few years and just as good (if not better) than we remembered. So much thought has clearly gone into every single dish.

A true Putney gem. Tucked away in a quiet street, this authentic place is for the affluent public who appreciate a good continental menu and vibe. Highly recommended.

We had a very good experience maybe because they do not let the kichen get over whelmed. They are not trying to sqeeze two sittings into an evening , service could not be faulted,

Great evening with wonderful food as usual. Reverted to my old favourite of beef wellington and it is still super.

This restaurant is fantastic. The staff are friendly and welcoming and help to set a lovely environment in which to relax and enjoy and evening out. The food is absolutely delicious and incredible value. There is all also a good and reasonably priced wine list. I would highly recommend Emile's.

A most enjoyable meal ,Emile was very good with his welcome and banter. Look forward to our return.

Vine aquí una vez hace 10 años y estaba interesado en ver si era tan buena como recuerdo. A decir que nos lo pasamos de maravilla aquí. Es una auténtica joya de barrio, escondido en una zona residencial, es poco probable que encontrar este lugar a menos que usted específicamente buscando. Me gusta el ambiente informal y personal amable. Lista de vinos bien. La comida era fantástica, una ternera Wellington y algunos buenos postres. Sin duda volveremos aquí, muy recomendado. Muchos restaurantes de Londres están sosos y similares, me gustó mucho la sensación de que era un lugar único.

Another excellent evening at Emiles, celebrating my birthday with my wife and step-daughtes. Food and wines, as usual, first class. And we had the chance for a chat with the man himself - always welcoming and friendly.

De no haber estado a Emile de Putney durante años decidimos probar de nuevo la semana pasada.

Great great great. Old school French restaurant. Not pretentious, just super food and service.

Excellent food, service and value as always. Hugely hospitable local restaurant, have been going for years. Swordfish in filo pastry starter was particularly good.

Food was outstanding. Beef wellington is a must try. Good value wine list and menu.

Great food and great service - recommend the scallops to start and brill for main. Emile takes care of you

Excellent service with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious (there were plenty of options which made it hard to decide!) and well priced.<br /><br />I look forward to returning soon.

Emile&#039;s is a warm and friendly place and their soufflé is second to none in London or elsewhere - Emile himself is a gem - we keep coming back over and over again

A great welcome awaits anyone dining at Emiles. This together with excellent food and service means you will not be disappointed.

Tengo que admitir que soy un poco parcial hacia Emile's. He estado viniendo aquí y bajar por más de hombre de 20 años y chico y me encanta.

The food is fantastic. Interesting and enticing menu - we found it hard to choose. <br />The decor could do with being updated.

The food is wonderful and the service is outstanding. Emile&#039;s is a terrific place to come for an evening out.

Visited Emile&#039;s for a birthday dinner. Was a great find locally to where we live will definitely be back. High quality, unpretentious French cuisine and a great little wine list too.

Emile does a fabulous job: top food top quality amazing value <br />Thanks Emile : keep going !!!

Soy un viajero muy buena orientado y cuando deseas un sólo hay que cumplirla. Yo estaba en Londres en agosto y sólo picazón para carne de wellington y al otro lado de Emile, stubbled ¡Qué hallazgo! Fue un lindo restaurante pequeño en un barrio y un poco fuera del camino trillado pero contribuyó al encanto. El servicio era estupendo y el ambiente era tranquilo y relajante. La lista de vinos era excelente y el menú era incluso mejor! Yo, por supuesto, pedimos la ternera Wellington que estaba fenomenal, pero también tenía algunos de los quesos artesanales y embutidos que ofrecían que era delicioso y único a Londres. El precio era razonable. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que viaje Emile a Londres o que vive allí y no ha sido. Pintoresco restaurante exquisito con encanto de barrio y absolutamente deliciosos alimentos!

Wonderful food, fantastic service, 31 years in the making and still as good as ever. My only grumble is that there are too may lovely dishes that I would like to eat. So we are heading back soon to help fix tat.

Came back here, as we always do, hoping to recreate previous great experiences. The service was faultless, but this time the kitchen had an off day. Bones in the starter and hair stuck in the serving platter for the cheese board was not very impressive. The waiter did his best, but was understandably embarrassed and apologised. Still we had no compensation or a proper apology from kitchen or management.It hasn't put us off going back, but we left with a feeling that the standards have been lowered.

Emile&#039;s has been a favourite haunt for some years now, we always try to have a meal there whenever we are in London, and we have never been disappointed. Until this time. We have become used to perfection, but this time the kitchen wasn&#039;t at its best. <br /><br />A bone in the starter is acceptable, pieces of washing equipment in the dessert is not. Not wanting to ruin an otherwise perfect evening, we didn&#039;t make any fuzz about it except for noticing the waiter. <br />This was, however, handled well by the waiter, but we still did not get a proper apology or compensation from the kitchen. An offer of a digestive as we were on our way out was a nice gesture, but a bit late. <br /><br />We did get an apology from the management later, and we will have no hesitations going back, and will thoroughly recommend the place.

Off the beaten track, food and service excellent - a gem!

Lovely restaurant, great food. <br />Looking forward to going back soon.

We have been a number of times, always with friends who are regulars. It is a small, unpretentious local restaurant that plays in the big league and delivers.The menu is written on a large chalk board, posed against the wall on the table (in tiny lettering! I'm getting too old!). I would happily eat my way through the menu (skipping the oysters - a personal choice but two at our table had them and wolfed them down with great delight).The welcome is every bit as warm as arriving at a dinner party with friends (little surprise that Emile's does an 'At Home' service rather than a 'Take Away') and the welcome carries on throughout the evening. The Maitre d'/Owner never intended to be a restaurateur but thank goodness that he ended up in this profession because he is an absolute natural. Go to Emile's to feel better about life - which you may by now know is my best accolade for a restaurant.The food is honest with twists of very clever - my scallops were sensational and (subject to slight tweaks with the seasoning which will have been made by now) about as good as scallops can be, settled on a bed of leeks, bacon and truffle - wow! Two of our party ate the rump steak (not much in the way of conversation while that happened) and two of us ate the wild boar and sausage. The boar is a real treat - just the home made sausage would have pleased me enough but the boar steak was a real revelation... not tough and sinewy as boar can be but as succulent as pork but with a far more gamey flavour. A delight.The service is attentive and efficient, allowing the food and the owner/host to shine.The bill is a pleasant surprise as well. Please go if you can - you will be made to feel welcome and you will be very happy that you made the trek.

Superb food, everything was absolutely spot on. Great value too, even the drinks.

We were booked for 7:30 but they were not ready for us, one guy complained that they did not open until 7:30!!<br />A comedy followed of trying to fix a wobbly table, number 7 , that was in the wrong place. In the end we moved tables and all was fine.<br />Good range of starters and main courses although my partners starter was very meager. ...go for the cheese souffle! <br />Good selection of wines and a few nice half bottles in particular.<br />Relaxed atmosphere with generally unobtrusive staff.

What a fantastic find - this is a wonderful neighbourhood restaurant.

Great evening with friends as always at Emile&#039;s. One of our favourite restaurants. We have been going for one of our Christmas nights out for at least 10 years now and it is as fabulous now as it was then. Emile is entertaining and when he describes each dish on the menu he makes every one sound so amazing that you change your mind on each dish. <br />Food is excellent and incredible value for money. Good wine list and very reasonably priced.<br />Thanks Emile, we will see you next year!

Brilliant as always. We eat there for many special occasions. Wonderful , creative dishes

Came here with my wife and we loved everything about it.Such a great spot.Can't wait to go back.Food was amazing.

We came here for a birthday celebration. The service was excellent, ao was the wine. I would definitely recommend the cheese soufflé and the oxtail. Menus change though, so it might not be on all the time. <br />The seared baby squid was a bit chewy, but that didn&#039;t spoil the evening at all. <br />Lovely cosy little place, but enough privacy.

Really enthusistic welcome which got me so excited I ended up choosing food I wouldnt normally have which in hindsight wasnt the right chioce. Worth a visit though

We booked a table for two while visiting the area based on the reviews of the food, we were not disappointed. The cheese soufflé, beef wellington and treacle tart are the most popular choices for a very good reason, they are excellent. My wife varied this by choosing the pheasant as a main course, this was good but slightly over cooked and a little dry. The room is a little bland but that is of little consequence, the staff are excellent and are able to provide suitable guidance on the dishes and food and the service is excellent. A bit of a gem in a sea of mediocrity in Putney.

Hidden in the suburban back streets of Putney is the most amazing resturant with French and traditional British cuisine.I had the beef Wellington which has been on the menu for 30 years apparently. Needless to say, it was perfection! The selection on the menu leaves you needing to come to try them all.What I loved about this place is the fact that it's like coming into someone's home. The owner Emile is quite a treat and extremely passionate about his food and wine. The wine list is very extensive and extremely well priced compared to other to restaurants. I will be back....next week actually! Double thumbs up from us.

The house specialities seem to be the cheese souffle, beef wellington and treacle tart, these did not disappoint. There is a small but reasonable menu including a range of seasonal items. The menu is carefully explained in sufficient detail to describe the dishes accurately by the patron to make choosing more effective. The wine list is reasonably extensive for such a small establishment. The decor is minimal, the ambiance is quiet, making it ideal for conversation. The service is efficient and attentive without being intrusive. Recommended for a quiet night out with some excellent food.

It&#039;s been nearly a year between visits, but Emile&#039;s is still a stand out. This restaurant manages the fine balance between comfortable and classy, it&#039;s relaxed yet refined. The food and wine were both delicious, and Emile was welcoming as always. The perfect place to while away a cold winter&#039;s evening in comfort.

Staff repeatedly expressed concern about noise from the next table which want all that bad. My partridge was over cooked but overall food was quite good and it was very imaginative.

Having heard great things about Emile's we were looking forward to our meal out. Unfortunately we were sorely disappointed. Ambience was lacking - with stark cream walls broken up with the occasional splash of colour from paintings . Some wallpaper and textiles would have made the space cosier and helped to soften the sound reverberating from other tables. Service was also lacking - having been escorted to our table by the waitress she made no attempt to move the chair blocking access to it, on which sat a chalk board menu. It was left to the diners at the next table to move it for us. On leaving our waiter didn't offer to escourt us out the maze of a building or to collect our coats for us. We made our own way to the entrance where another staff member kindly then went to collect them. The menu looked amazing - and to be fair the dishes looked great when they arrived at our table. But the taste experience was disappointing. For starters two of us had salmon empanadas which were bland and had an overriding oily taste - although they were not actually greasy. The third diner lucked out with a cheese dish which was very good. For mains, I had the beef wellington which was cooked to perfection and is apparently a firm favourite with regulars to the restaurant. However my dining companions were not so lucky. One said her risotto and potatoes (double carbs??) were cold and the chicken pudding hard, stodgy and tasted soapy. My second dining companion was somewhat put off her dish upon overhearing the owner describe it as containing "a skid mark of red onion purée". We decided to forgoe pudding and went home for cheese and biscuits instead! In summary whilst some of the food was great, it was very variable and didn't match the expectation created by the creative and exciting looking menu. The ambience and service also didn't match expectations and Given the cost it isn't an experience I will bother to repeat. Oh and vegetarians beware the choices are extremely limited.

One word discribes my experience : disappointed. The menu held so much promise but when it came to it, the delivery of the dishes I chose, was poor... the service was lacking... and having food described as a skid mark?? Unacceptable

We got a warm reception and had great service - they were friendly and the food was delicious. <br />We will definitely be going again.

Great restaurant with delicious food, well cooked, diverse and creative menu, always look forward to eating at Emile&#039;s. One of the best restauants myself and partner have eaten in and we regularly go to Catalonia. Some favourite dishes souffle, gilthead bream, beef wellington , always cooked to a very high standard The service and ambience are always top notch, not least due to Emile himself who is a great bon viveur, with his team of efficient, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Wonderful evening - fantastic food and wonderful service.

Have been several times for special occasions and always have found the food to be incredible. Service is great and a nice calm atmosphere allowing you to have conversations without shouting over loud music. A hidden gem in Putney and worth the travel from all around the area.

Booked for my birthday and for the first time at this restaurant. Situated off the beaten track in the backstreets of Putney I was dubious as to what awaited me. No need to worry; despite being seated in the basement the food turned out to be superb, the excellent Bordeaux second growth wine even more so. The patron&#039;s attention to our concerns over seating were comforting and he was exceptional in dealing with an egg-nuts allergy with many work arounds proposed. Waiting staff were a little over rushed and could have conversed more to put us at ease; however they were attentive and pleasant. I will certainly will be going again and wouldn&#039;t hesitate recommending it to friends, in fact we already have.

Crikey. The locals like Emile's. I hadn't been for almost 30 years and I think that part of the charm is that is hasn't changed all that much in all that time. I have to start by saying our meal was dramatically affected by the noise level. I highly recommend calling and discussing your table. If you want raucous the small room up top where we were is perfect. The other room, where you enter, seemed an oasis of calm and would have been our choice. The basement we never saw. As to the food, how can I criticise a winning formula? Ramsey would say the the list is too long to be consistently good I suspect. Really, the cooking is good not very good and I think fewer choices would allow the quality of each to rise. Menus on a big board? A bit retro but there we are, a modernising make over would mean losing something we all, deep down, love - familiarity. And for the Putneyistas Emile's has been delivering that, obviously, for ever.£100 for two.

Delicious and elegant as always. Look forward to my next visit.

Lovely evening with my sister at Emile&#039;s. <br />Food was delicious - we had Reblechon Cheese Soufflé with White Wine Beurre Blanc &amp; Shallot Purée + Heritage Beetroot &amp; Granny Smith Apple Salad with Goat&#039;s Cheese Mousse, Beetroot Dressing and we shared both as both were delicious. <br />For mains we had Fillet of Haddock, Hazelnut Crunch, Colcannon, Tenderstem Broccoli, Tomato Fondue, Red Onion Purée + Fillet of Stone Bass with Seared Baby Squid, Pumpkin &amp; Turnip, Jerusalem Artichoke Sauce, Shellfish Foam (again we shared both!) along with a bottle of Huia Pinot Noir 2013 (Organic, Biodynamic) Marlborough, New Zealand which was divine!<br />For dessert we shared a Pumpkin Tart with Rosemary Ice Cream and a glass of MAURY GRENACHE NOIR 2014 J-M Lafage, Roussillon.<br />The only complaints we both had was that we felt it to be a bit noisy - there was a large group at the next table and the tables are quite close together. Also the chairs feel a bit low in relation to the table (for short people at least). I asked for a cushion and was discreetly given a pile of tablecloths to sit on (which helped!). Perhaps they can invest tin some cushions or have the chairs re-padded.

A wonderful meal at Emile&#039;s once again, reliably delicious!

Decided to try this restaurant after walking past it a number of times and seeing the menu. Went with family and it was delicious. I highly recommend the beef wellington it was incredible! The only criticism I would have is that it gets really busy as the evening goes on consequently our table felt forgotten about for awhile and we wanted to order coffee and pudding. In the end it took so long that we just got the bill. Apart from that the staff were really attentive and the atmosphere was really good. Perfect for any occasion.

It was an excellent evening and the food was delicious

Lovely local gem. Great value and delicious food. Will definitely be back.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in London. It would be packed every night if it was not in such a hidden location and off the beaten track. The menu changes every time I am there and it is a real joy to have the menu and each item described by the owner Emile who is always on hand and in the front. The food is outstanding and the wine list is great and very reasonable. A true gem.

This was the first time we had eaten here. It was well presented and looked appetizing. The food was very good. The waiter was very attentive and explained all the gluten free options. The only downside was we were a little bit in the back room and there was more atmosphere in the main dining room. Our veal was delicious, the starter was a bit meager on the fois gras. The other starter (pigs cheek in brawn) was copious. We would come here again although it is fairly pricey, we enjoyed it and as it was my birthday it was a nice treat.

Reservation process was seamless and my two alterations to the original booking were efficiently accommodated. Cosy restaurant filled with locals, feels like you are eating in somebody's house. The waiting staff were extremely polite, knew the menu well and were efficient in service. Food was creative and well prepared and the restaurant had a very good wine list. I felt the restaurant was well priced for the quality of food and service. The restaurant is well suited for a romantic dinner, dinner with two couples or even an adult family meal. Will definitely visit again and explore the menu.

Feels like you are eating in someone&#039;s home. Booking process was smooth, had to change twice. Service staff are friendly and super efficient. Food was well prepared and they had a great wine menu. Will definitely be back to explore the menu. I thought it was really good value.

The owner Emile - is first class he is passionate about his restaurant and really wants you to have a first class experience- food is excellent

Fantastic food with a menu that changes regularly. Good wine selection and lovely service. We eat here regularly and it never fails to be a great experience.

As always top quality food, great wine and good atmosphere. Best restaurant in Putney, great value for the food you get. Go.
