I had high expectations for this restaurant based on several local recommendations, but unfortunately, it fell far short. We ordered the chateaubriand for two, expecting a beautifully cooked, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Instead, it was left to rest on a skillet over tealight candles, which continued cooking the meat well past medium-rare. Any chef who takes pride in their craft should insist that the waitstaff avoid this kind of treatment—it completely ruins the texture. What should have been tender and buttery was instead tough and chewy. Not worth the price paid. The service was equally underwhelming. The staff seemed disinterested, lacking both enthusiasm and warmth, making the entire dining experience feel unwelcoming. While I appreciate the attempt at French authenticity with the menu and signage (including “Toilet” written as “Toiletten”), the overall atmosphere and execution couldn’t have felt further from a true French dining experience. Disappointing from start to finish.

Never met with a smile from the restaurant staff from the second we set foot in till we left! Took long time to serve our main. When question the staff who delivered the drink, he couldn’t understand my simple question. When I repeated the question. He accused me of shouting, when I simplify repeated in a slowly and more clearly tone. Never again! Their staff hate their jobs clearly or maybe we are east Asians !

Really disappointing !! Starters were a mix of very average to poor ..The pate I had as a starter was tasteless!! Then we waited 45 mins for mains. Once arrived , we had various sides and sauces missing and had to then ask 3 times for them to be sent to our table ..by that time our food was cold and we were all just very p*ssed off ! Overall we spent 2 hours there mostly waiting on food which was supposed to be an easy quick lunch …avoid it ! so many better places around to spend your money on !

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When we walked in, we were told there were no available tables. However, just a few minutes later, a British family also walked in without a reservation, and they were given a table right away. This felt extremely unfair, and it made me wonder if we were treated differently because we are Asian. I hope this was just a misunderstanding, but the lack of explanation from the staff made the situation even more frustrating. I believe that all customers should be treated equally and with respect. I would appreciate it if the restaurant could clarify their seating policy to ensure that similar incidents do not happen in the future.

I went to Gazette Putney as I thought that would be a nice place to celebrate a personal event because I had been to Gazette in Wandsworth a few times and had always been very satisfied of everything. However the service was appalling. The waiting for the food was in particular especially long and they didn’t even recognize this. I had booked a table at 1pm and food was served at 2pm and dessert was served at 3pm ! The children had ordered a burger and a steak. In both cases, the steak was so well done that it was really hard to cut into. The waiter hadn’t asked for how the children wanted their steak to be. After complaining, they did replace my child’s burger which meant more waiting. The waiter didn’t come to check if the jug of water needed refilling. The waiter never checked at anytime if we needed anything. My child spilled some water on the table and even if the waiter came to wipe it up after we asked for help, he never had the idea to give a new napkin to any of us so I didn’t ask. After 1 hour of waiting for the dishes to arrive, we mentioned the fact we found it was not acceptable and that we would like this bad service reflected on the bill. After the head of waiters did not apologise and seemed difficult, he said there would be a rebate on the bill which never appeared on the bill in the end ! I didn’t say anything and just wanted to leave and strike this restaurant off from the places I would ever go back to. Poor service and the restaurant was nearly empty (only 3 or 4 tables occupied). It seems Gazette has exported the good food but they should have left the bad French service in France and try to copy the usual excellent English service. If a customer is not happy about something, be polite and do a commercial gesture. I never write reviews but my experience was so bad yesterday that I could not not write a review !

Having not visited in some time I was hoping it would be more memorable experience as a friend had booked saying how much they liked it. Sadly it was a really quite underwhelming meal on a cold and draughty table. For the prices I’d expected better quality food and service. For some it obviously feels upmarket but it didn’t really hit the spot for us.

A pesar de las buenas experiencias anteriores, todos los platos de ternera (2 x chateaubriand y 2 x bistecs de bavette) estaban demasiado cocinados. 2 de los platos tuvieron que ser devueltos, mientras que los otros 2 fueron tolerados, y ciertamente no eran del estándar habitual de cocción. El restaurante apenas estaba lleno (un puñado de mesas ocupadas como máximo) y por lo que fue una desviación decepcionante del estándar habitual de cocina. Lo pensará dos veces antes de volver allí de nuevo. . .

Bit disappointed in this restaurant as the first time we came a server misplaced our order and then proceeded to argue with us that it was our fault though in compensation we were given a bottle of wine on the house and the food was very very slow. The next time we came our food took an hour to come. I ordered the steak and I was really sad as it was well cooked but tasted burnt. The cooking is extremely slow and the steak is super lacklustre. Don’t waste your time here go to McDonald’s instead.

I had the black pudding. I was very disappointed and only ate to to be polite to my host. Very mushy and it was served on something that may have been some kind of cheesy potato hashbrown, which oozed cooking oil when I pressed it with my knife and fork to cut it.

The taste of the food was excellent, service was variable, especially the madeleines. One waiter walked back and forth without actually looking at customers, but one waitress seemed to be much more attentive. About 2 hours after the meal, I had Diarrhoea and Vomiting, from the squid risotto. Today I called to report it and was given an email. After 2 hours, no response, and when I called up to speak about it, I was told by the manager that he had not sat down to read the emails, but seemed to know what it was about, even thought I didn't say in the second call. I told him I would go ahead with the review and he didn't seem to care. Edit, after filling int their food poisoning complaint form, They have asked me to remove this review, as a condition of visiting their establishment again, with a vague "gesture of our apologies". They've not offered any other possible explanation for my symptoms on the evening of the 25th, simply stating the qualifications of their staff and the food hygiene rating of the restaurant. This is the first time I have even been sick from food in a restaurant, and I'm 46 years old and I am bitterly disappointed in the rude, arrogant and dismissive way this incident has been handled. Please look at the other reviews of this restaurant, I am not the only person who has issues with their seafood.

This is my new favourite restaurant in Putney. The food is some of the best I’ve had in London. The beef tartare is assembled at the table and is generous with both flavour and quantity. The escargots are tender and covered in copious amounts of garlic butter and parsley, and are presented beautifully. The service is pleasant and attentive, and we left full and satisfied. I can’t wait to come back and try the onion soup and chateaubriand.

I love this place which is why I wanted to go there for my birthday. That night was really disappointing. The oysters for oyster Tuesday was the highlight the rest wasn’t good. My main was too oily (black pudding, caramelised apple and potato croquette) but having some concerning miscommunication earlier about the bread, i didn’t want to complain about my main. The team doesn’t not understand allergy/intolerance and although very polite, did not listen to my concerns. They found it acceptable to bring to the table a different type of bread that contained yeast without informing us, despite ordering from the menu sourdough (yeast free bread) and simply didn’t understand the risk and repercussions of this. Confusing gluten allergy with yeast etc.. I abandoned trying to make them understand the problem continued with the meal. They kindly brought my dessert with a candle which i really appreciated, but felt even more disappointed that my ice cream sunday was melted soup and would have needed a straw to enjoy it rather than a spoon. Overall, genuinely disappointed even if the staff was kind, their lack of knowledge on dietary requirements is really worrying. They ended up removing two desserts of the bill as I’m guessing a gesture of goodwill but they was no communication about it.

The artichoke starter was supposed to come with a herb vinaigrette. It came with a cup of mustard, which was inedible. My seared tuna main also got served with an awful mustard sauce which spoilt half the plate. I’ve never encountered tuna in a mustard sauce and for good reason. If someone had asked how the meat was I’d have mentioned it but no one asked.

Primera visita. Mientras nos sentábamos notamos un olor desagradable que yo habría descrito como “perro mojado” hasta que mi compañero señaló que era más como un trapeador sucio y maloliente que se había utilizado para limpiar el piso. Realmente fue bastante malo poner pero aramos. La comida (ostras, chateaubriand, pan en particular) y las porciones eran todos muy buenos, de hecho, con la única excepción de las patatas fritas que estaban pre-congeladas y fritas, seco y nada agradable. El servicio fue amable y muy eficiente. Razonablemente ocupado para un jueves por la noche con un buen zumbido pero no demasiado fuerte. No tuvimos postre porque estábamos muy llenos, pero todas las opciones se veían muy bien. En resumen: Merece la pena probarlo, pero con tantas opciones en la zona, no estoy seguro de volver una segunda vez.

Short version: Avoid. The place needs new management and fresher seafood. Longer version: This restaurant should, by any accounts be fabulous but it's let down by poor management and questionable seafood quality. Starters: the plain bagette bread and butter was very nice. The prawns were so crumbly that they were anything but fresh, the onion soup lacked any croutons or substance, and the pate was passable at best. Mains : here we had a bit more luck, in that the steaks (both the filet streaks and the Skirt steak were decent enough) and the steak tartare was well received and properly prepped at the table. The duck margret, on the other hand, was far too tough. Sides are hit and miss: the bone marrow and spinach were good but the French fries and gratin dauphenois left much to be desired. Deserts were generally good. Management was just generally poor and the waiting staff seemed harrased and understaffed. Was not impressed on that count at all. For the management alone, I wouldn't recommend or return to this restaurant.

Came twice, service is consistently poor (starter was forgotten during second visit, waitress new better than me on french food during first visit). Fries are very palm-oil-dry and everybody seems to use coupons so if you pay full price you’re a fool. On the positive side, bavette was good (have it blue!) and fairly good cheese plate to finish your wine

We went in early July. This was about the third or fourth time we have been in the course of 18 months or so. The first time was so good, I came back. I’m afraid to say that the quality of food has declined at each visit. A friend and myself ate about three musses before stopping as they weren’t fresh. They certainly were not off, but the taste was very unpleasant and we could not eat anymore. The frites weren’t great either, they just tasted like bog standard frozen chips. The goats cheese salad starter was fine, nothing exciting. However, the one I had a year ago was far better. The wines were good. The service was slow but they were very busy. The best thing I ate that evening was the spinach with garlic and butter- a vegetable side dish. The manager could see that we had left our mains practically uneaten and immediately offered to take them off the bill. I was appreciative of that. Despite the gesture, I will not be returning and won’t be choosing to spend my hard earned cash on a special evening meal there. However, the lunch rapide menu seems to have received better reviews, so I may try that in the future.

Food was perfectly nice, but sadly it was overshadowed by the atmosphere. It was a special celebration and we were put in the back surrounded by lots of kids. We asked to change table, which was perfectly reasonable in a half empty restaurant on a Friday night, but the waiter didn’t allow us to.

Best experience so far at Gazette, everything great from initial welcome to bill! We went for set two courses, vegetable/cheese starter delicious and lamb equally so. Were offered taste of two reds by glass and both good value and highly drinkable. Tarte Fine and Breizh to finish then coffee. Perfect 10!

Went with some friends for an early evening meal. We ordered the cod and others had risotto. Food was presented and tasted well. With the doors pulled open it gave the restaurant an airy feel. Worth another visit.

This has a huge rear garden and a big front one too. The back has a marquee that covers a large area so it's good even when the weather isn't cooperating. There's also outdoor stalls serving food and drinks in the summer. Decent veggie choices as well, and always friendly.

A simple but good menu that is great value. Lovely ambience, really friendly helpful staff. New ownership certainly has made this pub worth revisiting.

Lovely pub in a heart of Leyton. Unique menu: delicious pizza, local seafood and snacks. Good selection of beer. Cozy beer garden - family and dogs friendly. We love to go there with family for a few drinks and meal or sometimes to celebrate an occasion.
