High Road Brasserie in Hounslow

Looks can be deceiving. I took lovely photos of the food unfortunately, although the waitress was lovely, the food was not great. The seabass was very salty. The truffle Parmesan frites were soggy and chewy, drenched in oil. Perhaps grate the cheese and truffle on it instead. And the broccoli florets were boiled and bland. The custard for the crumble was runny like water. I feel so bad but I hope they take this and learn from this. For the price and type of brasserie, their food needs to be improved asap.

Amazing restaurant with tasty dishes, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere. The welcoming staff made it a great choice for any occasion. Will visit again soon!

Excellent avocado chilli coriander and chive on toasted sourdough with beautifully poached eggs. Can recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg too. Smart place, more oriented to families than couples in my view.

Food…dreadful, nothing good to say.

Great service...we had the 3 course menu. Decent portions, though the steak hache came only with sauce so we ordered sides. All tasty except the pasta with tomatoes - disappointingly bland.

Always reliable. Always excellent.

Great service great food. Consistant.

Have always loved this Brasserie, but tonight will be my last visit. Food quality has deteriorated significantly and this evening, well, it was almost insulting - my teenage boys would have produced a much better meal! Below average, tasteless and no value for money. Such a shame as used to be such a nice place for an equality nice meal.

I had one of the best meals I have had in a long time, here. Every item ordered was so delicious and had huge portions. I came out of there absolutely stuffed and my belly was fully satisfied. The menu is small but it makes up for that with the quality and taste of its food. For starters we had the haddock soufflé and chicken liver parfait. The soufflé was so tasty and it came with a creamy sauce which elevated the dish even more and the parfait was smooth, creamy and delicious. For mains we had the special which was fried skate with capers. It came swimming in butter and was so decadent but so good. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was divine and is on my list of top 3 tiramisus I have ever had and I have had many! Perfect consistency with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. My friend went as far as to say, that it was on par with Venice. The truffle fries with cheese also demands a special mention, so delicious and crispy with just the right amount of truffle which they did not skimp on, yum!! It was a Thursday night, not so busy which impacted the atmosphere as it felt empty. Also lost count of how many different waiters served us. All very friendly and helpful but too much attention and came round too often for my liking. Hence the scoring. Otherwise, great place for great tasting food. It’s not cheap, we spent around £95pp but the £55 charge for wine definitely contributed. Next time I will just go for a full bottle which is cheaper, rather than 2 half bottles. But overall worth a visit. Highly recommend, I am already planning my next visit there.

Excellent service, friendly, attentive, delicious food, extensive menu, best experience!

The staff were excellent, their service was the best thing about it. I had pancakes and they were nice but nothing to write home about. A buzzy atmosphere for Saturday lunch, glad we booked in advance just in case.

Came here for lunch with aunt and cousin last week and it was fairly decent. I had the hamburger medium rare and it was actually very tasty. Others had fish and chips (large portions), ratatouille and salmon. Really decent place. It is also very handy as it is just along the high road itself.

Lovely staff, nice food, very fancy overall. Thanks for the experience 🇬🇧❤️🇵🇱

Great place for a spontaneous lunch. Plenty of vegetarian options and most of the dishes are gluten-friendly. Thank you Luis for a friendly service!

Had a great meal. Staff were attentive but not overly so. Desserts were perfection 👌

We are regulars and enjoy going to the HRB. One of the Specials was extremely disappointing but without hesitation they removed from the bill. We will be back as its still a great place to go.

Very lovely staff, the waitresses and waiter were very nice and great friendly service! The chateaubriand is quite overpriced considering how poor the sides and sauces are. Not worth £75. Very lovely staff though :)

Firstly ignore the negative reviews! We had an excellent meal here on Saturday lunchtime. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb. The cocktails extremely strong and beautifully presented. Would definitely eat here again.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Cauliflower cheese outstanding!! We will definitely come again

As always, amazing! The waiter that served us (speaks Spanish) was great!

I hosted a family dinner in June, and it was one of my worst decisions. We were seated next to a noisy family of six, despite the restaurant being half-empty. We couldn't hear each other and had to change tables, then waited over 25 minutes for below-average food. The service was slow and inattentive, and charging £6 for mineral water is outrageous. I’ll never return and advise everyone to avoid this place. After my 1-star review on TripAdvisor, the manager called but was unapologetic, simply saying, "If you're ever in the area, please come back." Never again.

Nice to be Able to sit outside and still stay dry when rain comes! Food delicious (brunch) and staff professional and attentive

Food was lovely and the staff were SUPER friendly and attentive.

I rarely leave reviews but I have to say this was a disappointing meal all. We ordered the cheese souffle starter but what arrived was something that looked and felt like a scone (it was hard) with a separate pouring jug of 'sauce'. When we complained the waitress apologised and said she'd never seen it served like that either and kindly returned it without charge. For main course we had the fish stew (perfectly adquate but nothing to write home about) and the Chicken Millanese. The latter was again, adequate, but it was described as coming with rocket, cherry tomatoes and parmesan. But what turned up was about a 2-inch square area of rocket leaves and about 3 or 4 tiny shavings of parmesan and two halves of a cherry tomato. All round, a big disappointment and woefully overpriced for what was put in front of us and how it was described on the menu.

Food was nice . Menu a bit limited on what we were expecting. Did make note that is was a birthday and surprised us with a birthday dessert of truffles and a candle . Staff were friendly and attentive. Wines were pricey

Delicious breakfast this morning, outside with the dogs and great service too. Consistently excellent

Lovely food, lovely service! The menu is good, only complaint is they were out of moules mariniere

A lovely experience at the Brasserie for Lunch. The menu offers a wide variety of options. I really enjoyed the chateaubriand, it was cooked to perfection! The service was great - offered drinks upon arrival, and ensured that we enjoyed our meal. I can't wait to come back!

Lovely outdoor seating spoilt by a rude manager. We visited the brasserie for a drink on a very hot day. We were in a bit of a hurry as we had theatre reservations but were desperate for a drink due to the hot weather. The waitress who served us was lovely and friendly. However when it came to pay I was unable to attract a server. Therefore I went into the bar to pay. I was rudely and dismissively told by the bar manager to wait outside and one of his staff would be with me shortly. Why he could not take my money I am unsure. His attitude was really put me off. Would not return to this establishment.

Have been for breakfast 2 or 3 times and never disappointed. Very civilised way to start Sunday

Gréât service. Fab food. A lovely night out . And dog friendly !!

I would have given the food 4 stars except the 1 vegan option was poor so gave it only 3. This was a highly processed vegan burger probably bought frozen and not made by the chef. I would have expected a restaurant of this standard to have made their own vegan dish. Good vegan cuisine is not complicated to make and appeals to vegetarians and meat eaters too.

Good food and reasonable prices as usual - lovely to sit outside on a rare sunny day

Nice food, great service. Sit outside and watch people go by down Chiswick High st.

Bang average at best. Poor service, food not great. Booked for 6 people table not ready on arrival as if they didn’t know we were coming.

Nice place with well done food, service is pretty attentive and efficient. Been here for brunch and lunch on different occasions and it’s been pretty consistent.

Friendly local brasserie - try the picante cocktail

Great food, great service. We sat inside next to the sliding doors, the doors were open as it was a nice day. Halfway through our meal, a party sat next to us but on the outside. 3 of the party smoked, including one with a pipe! I appreciate that people can smoke outside but all the smoke was wafting inside spoiling what would have been a perfect meal.

This was our second visit to HRB. Apart from the aubergine and vegetable soup of the day, all was fine. The aubergine dish was totally tasteless and there was no sign of the vegetable. The soup of the day was blended into a thick puree. Totally tasteless.

This is one of my favourite restaurants - service and food are always great.

A very good place to meet friends for lunch in Chiswick.

Sadly this restaurant is not the place it was. Some of the menu items have remained. But the quality of food has become so poor. We had to return two of our dishes, which we would normally never dream of doing. But inedible. 10 mins later we witnessed the same on the table behind us. Great service but something has changed.

This Chiswick High Road cafe is great for people watching, but service lets it down. Families with babies are (perhaps) understandably put in a side room off the main restaurant but after 15 mins of sitting down we had to go to find a waiter to take our order, and food took another 30+ mins although the restaurant was near empty, and then came cold. Marginally expensive and trading off its name for wannabees. 13.5% service charge completely unmerited

Just had the fish & chips here and how disappointing! The batter on the fish was soggy, spongy and so thick. When asked about the batter to the waitress, she said it has to be that soft and thick, otherwise the fish would fall apart. The fish inside was slightly grey with a strong fishy taste, making me think it probably wasn't as fresh as it could have been. Asking for a fresh pressed juice, it came in a bought plastic bottle....certainly not freshly pressed. This I changed for a Lucky Saint beer and glass of water. On the plus side, the chips were nice, but with a bill of over £31 for 1 poor fish & chips and 2 drinks, I won't be returning.

A return visit which was just as good as previous visits. Excellent food and service. Good atmosphere sitting outside.

My top place for breakfast in Chiswick. From the attentive service, friendly staff and incredible food. Whether a quick breakfast, catch-up with friends or celebrating Father's Day, High Road Brasserie does not disappoint.

Personal muy agradable y ambiente muy bueno La hamburguesa no me la volvería a pedir, muy seca y sin sabor Mis amigas pidieron pollo, y también estaba un poco seco Creo que es bastante caro para la calidad de la comida , aunque solo puedo hablar de esos dos platos

Unfortunately High Rd Brasserie had sold out of the dishes which we would have liked do we had to choose another. The evening was very nice though and the service was excellent.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday to celebrate father’s day. We were seated in an annex off the main room which was somewhat soulless and a bit tired. Cutlery was old and dull glasses not polished. Food acceptable, all the bistro classics although i have eaten a better chicken ceaser salad which had lots of chopped bacon bits and too much dressing. Good service and good value. There are other places that do classic bistro food better and in a more convivial setting. The high road needs an update.

A very classy restaurant, excellent spot for brunch. Well dressed and attentive waiters.

Sadly they had run out of most items on the menu and the food was incredibly slow and no one seemed to care much.

Booking made for Father's Day lunch and it was busy but the service was excellent, from the greeting at the door to the table staff. Steak was described by my son as 'best ever' Fish and chips was a favourite of my daughter. I had the beef roast lunch, which was a substantial portion. Great big Yorkshire pud, beef pinkish, superb cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes were a bit of a let down (maybe left standing too long?). Puddings great too.

We had the set menu, finishing with a huge slab of tasty tiramisu, and waddled off along Chiswick High Road feeling very satisfied.

Nice restaurant, staff looked after me and I enjoyed the food 👌

Great spot for brunch, was very busy but service was still attentive and food was tasty. We were surprised with a lovely candle on our dessert. Atmosphere was quite loud inside but the team and food was great. Will return to try to get a table outside

Wasn’t busy.. and was served promptly.. food was fine.. reasonable value..

I had visited this place a few years ago and decided to revisit now that I have some family members living in the area. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. We were seated at a very cramped table next to a family with screaming young kids. Why would they do that? Realizing this wasn’t going to be a good experience, I asked for another table. Although there was some initial resistance, we were eventually moved. The food was decidedly average, and to our surprise, the still water we ordered cost £6 per bottle. The only redeeming feature was the service, which was good and attentive. However, at £50 per person, it felt overpriced. I reviewed the restaurant on OpenTable, and management reached out to speak with me. When I spoke with the manager, I expressed my complaints. While they acknowledged my concerns, they only mentioned that if I had said something about the water, they would have refunded it. Although we ended the conversation amicably, not once did they offer a discount for the trouble or invite me back with the promise of a better experience. They only said, "If you're ever in the area, give us a call and we'll sort out a nice table." This level of service should be standard. I write this review to let others know that there are much better places to spend £50 on average food and a flat atmosphere. The good old days are gone.

Reliable menu serving modern brasserie staples. Always enjoyed the Sunday roast particularly the cauliflower cheese. A bit disappointed this time as the roast beef slices looked as though they came from a factory. Otherwise no complaints. Service is always good. Reasonable value.

Overall disappointing. Originally sat in a very noisy area and had to ask to change location. Food very average for what you pay for. Water at £6 a bottle is extortionate! I am not coming back here and for £50 a head it is definitely not value for money. Atmosphere is also very stale too. Redeeming grace was the service and friendly staff.

It’s in a fab location and staff is always kind and attentive. I like coming here even if the food is so so.

Lovely brasserie with a great menu and lots of options, the manager was a star, he was super attentive and we had incredible service throughout our whole meal with our 1 year old. It’s become our local favourite dining spot.

We went as a group of 7 on a Saturday morning for brunch. Service was extremely slow, food was average and portions were small. In fact, my homemade pancakes are way tastier than theirs! There are much better places in the neighbourhood to have a delicious brunch so perhaps choose this one for steak and frites (though arguably Cote does a much better job at that)…

This place is a gem in Chiswick. Food, atmosphere and service are constantly great. A special mention to the Spanish manager (sorry can't remember his name) and Joseph that are always providing a fantastic and professional service with a smile !

Good food and good value, great for sitting outside during a sunny day

Unfortunately on the night we went, the vegan pasta option was not available which left me with a choice of salad or burger. I opted for the salad which was nice but disappointing to be so limited on choice.

One of our favourite places to go out in Chiswick

Staff really lovely and welcoming Food was really nothing special. It was fine but lacked finesse and a bit “pub food” Shame because the restaurant is in a great spot, nice bar and dining room, super staff but average food let it all down.

We were quite comfortable and staff was polite but rather slow. However we’re disappointed in the quality of food. Croque Monsieur was a very greasy (otherwise dry) toasted cheese and ham sandwich with no bechamel. Quite unpleasant. It was served with some white lettuce and just warm chips. Won’t rush back.

Service was great! Very attentive and helpful staff. Food also good but I went for a basic croque madame this time around : ) great house wine and fab location

Particularly good service for a family birthday. Good food and all round pleasant atmosphere

Excellent food and service as usual (this time we were served by Ella who was great).

We had a lovely client meal, the food service and atmosphere was all perfect, Thank you!

Great for brunch, not a roast lunch. For £34 I paid for 1 slice of roast pork, which was extremely and the crackling inedible as it was chewy. It felt like it had been cooked the day before and warmed. The vegetables alsonareived luke warm...(Shame I never took a pic!!!) I've been here for Brunch and dinner, and the food was very, very good. Unfortunately, not this time around. I would recommend everything else on the menu, but you'd have to decide for yourselves. Would not come back here for a roast, best visiting a pub or elsewhere that doesn't serve less than mediocre food at a high price. I'd just like to add the staff were great, the food not so much!

Sharing dishes are always far too small for 2 people. Fries with the steaks a little soggy and instead of 'Tenderstem' broccoli as listed on the menu - we were served, very al dente, usual broccoli . Steaks, however, were very good indeed and the Basque Cheesecake, delicious.

The food was good as was the service overall. However the dining area stank of cigarettes as the terrace out the front of restaurant is a smoking area and the smoke seemed to come through the windows and doors despite being closed. The live music whilst nice was far too loud and it was a struggle to hear the waiters talking to us or converse between ourselves.

Lovely unobtrusive and attentive service. Good food and ambiance.

I ordered half English breakfast and it was very good. Nice place and attentive service.

I went for lunch with my family, I really liked the calamari so much that I ordered more calamari, we ordered mains which were excellent. The desserts were awesome. The atmosphere, decor good, most of all the service impeccable who ever came across to our table were smiling, polite, helpful specially the waitress who took care of our table,I assumed name to be Kerry as it named Kerry on the bill. Thank you all, I will surely return back.

This has been one of our favourite places for many years - we had a SH member and a regular with our party who are often there. We turned up to be greeted by two employees chatting.. so we stood there while they were socially chatting and finished before greeting us. We were shown to our table (we had booked), and it was cramped. My friend and the man on the table adjacent laughed that they were sitting on each others laps. I was bumped into 5 times by employees trying to get to other tables. I understand they were busy and had no other tables but that was unpleasant. They’d crammed people in it seems. We decided to go elsewhere as we couldn’t sit and enjoy a drink like that, let alone a meal. We tried to catch a member of staffs eye to politely tell them we were leaving… one just looked and rolled their eyes. Unfortunately that was the third bad experience with waiting staff there now. Strange as it used to have great service. Cote is just round the corner and so much more pleasant now.

Ewa, Ella and Felix made our night great thank you. Perfect service

Went for an informal early evening meal with my husband. Staff were warm and welcoming. The salmon was well cooked and seasoned the muscles were fresh. Overall it was a good experience and was value for money. Thank you.

Marta is the best server in Chiswick!!! She went way out of her way to get me a dish that they had taken off the menu. She and the staff there really go the extra mile. Thank you!

The food was a little too quick and I thought expensive overall

Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious! Do recommend for a nice birthday dinner with friends.

Good food, great service, one of our favourite places to eat in Chiswick

Met some friends for whom this is a regular haunt. A good range of bistro favourites. Nothing exceptional but a pleasant experience.

I went for a late roast with a friend on Sunday. The food was nice and service was not that bad. However they gave me the wrong persons bill which was £30.00 higher..I am so glad I checked. They did refund me the difference but didn't offer me anything on the house until I asked for a drink. I would recommend the place as it is a nice place to go and they do ask you how things are but just felt a bit insincere especially with the wrong bill

You can have fun with music on Fridays and Saturdays in the pleasant atmosphere. We paid 220 pounds for 3 people, 2 main courses, 2 bottles of wine, 2 starters. it was enjoyable

Issue with the food which was handled really well - excellent service. Would go back. The steak tartare was amazing and the charcuterie board was good value.

Very disappointing today. We’ve been coming to the HRB for years and had always been great but today was poor. The last time I came I had one of the best Sunday Roasts ever but today was so average. Some of it was embarrassing. My wife’s chicken Milanese was dry. Not our go to play anymore sadly!

Audience quite good and staff pleasant. Menu choices very limited and half if the items were not available. Very fish dish orientated so if you don't want fush for main course one should dine elsewhere. We had cod with puy lentils for £16. Was bland and nothing special. Needed extra side dishes so price adds up. There are far better restaurants and more menu choices in other Chiswick restaurants. I will not go back although I live in Chiswick

Great food great service!!! Would like thank the staff wonderful experience

Delicious cod and lentils with kale . Good service. Very good entertainment.

We had a delicious weekend brunch - favourites are poached eggs and the blueberry pancakes. Homemade hashbrowns were tasty. Good portions. Staff were so polite and attentive. My only criticism is some elements of the vegetarian brunch were quite plain e.g spinach. But that’s more of a personal preference.

Went for brunch here with my friends as we like to try brunch places around the area. All I can say is that I paid about 25% more for a brunch which was by far the worst brunch I have tried around the Chiswick area. I ordered avocado on toast with poached eggs. The eggs were fine, but the avocado had this vinegary taste… almost like it was slightly gone off and the ‘sourdough’ bread was not at all like sourdough - just stale white bread. £14 for something that competitors would make better and charge less for. We waited at least 25 minutes for the food to arrive, aside from the fact that after 20 minutes of being there we had to ask the waitress to take out order. Overall, a poor experience.

Really disappointed in our visit this week. The food quality has deteriorated badly from what it used to be. Croquettes were too big and claggy, sticking your mouth together. The quiche was not a lovely French tarte, but a thick heavy American style thing, definitely precooked, definitely not the same day, and probably not on site, and re-heated. The fish soup was the only good thing we ordered. They’ve taken the lovely gem lettuce salad off the menu, and although the staff kindly provided a green salad - oily iceberg is no substitute. Finally the ‘baked cheesecake’ was a standard tasteless heavy American style cheesecake. Tasted and looked mass produced and frozen. A really disappointing visit. Sadly won’t be going again.

I only had a coffee here and loved how passionate the barista is about his job !

The service was considerate helpful and very pleasant and the food excellent

Waiter started by saying “ no sourdough, no gluten free bread, not hello how are you day etc Negative start but food good and all else hood

The staff were exceptional. Just the right amount of attention. The experience was fantastic, I hadn’t been for years but it was still as I remember. The food and wine superb. Couldn’t fault the evening.
