Le Petit Citron in Hammersmith and Fulham

Soy un gran fan de la cocina francesa y esta no fue una buena experiencia con respecto a la comida. El entorno y el personal eran buenos, pero se trata de la comida. Al igual que en Francia los estándares se están escapando , probablemente se trate de un tema de precios , recortando en puntos para hacerlo asequible.

Reservamos Le Petit Citron antes de alojarse en la zona por un par de días. No nos decepcionaron. Qué experiencia tan encantadora, se sintió como entrar en un restaurante típico francés. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida y luego nos sirvieron toda la noche con excelente comida y bebida por el personal amable y atento y vaya, el ron baba era para morirse. Una velada muy agradable que nos encantaría repetir.

Este restaurante es consistentemente fabuloso. Buenas opciones veganas y siempre con un delicioso pudín vegano. La iluminación es perfecta, las mesas están bien espaciadas y consigue ser silenciosa sin ser hueca. Me encanta. El personal es siempre encantador. Es mi ir a por una deliciosa comida a un buen precio.

Le Petit Citron está situado en Shepherds Bush Road en Brook Green. Se encuentra a aproximadamente media milla de la estación de línea Hammersmith District & Piccadilly a pie. A pesar de que el restaurante estaba bastante lleno, pudimos adquirir una mesa alrededor de las 7. 45 un lunes por la noche sin reserva previa. El menú es bastante extenso y opté por un par de platos de la lista de especiales. Para empezar, crema de sopa de hinojo con crutones y caballa a la parrilla con garbanzos para principal. Para beber, me tomé un gin tonic de cassis y lavanda (gran relación calidad-precio en £ 7 ) y una botella agradable de Viognier. El servicio y el ambiente eran muy buenos, así como la comida y bebida. Particularmente me gustó la sopa. El costo fue de £ 102 para dos incluyendo el servicio.

Hermosa decoración, fabuloso servicio y comida. Todo sobre este lugar se sentía bien. Tarta de pera exquisita, cordero perfectamente cocido y buen tamaño de porción. Un lugar perfecto para una noche con amigos.

Excellent evening. Very relaxed, authentic food - a good range to choose from but not too many - friendly service. In all a very good neighbourhood restaurant. And the prices are very fair.

What a lovely little restaurant! Actually, it isn't so little, but just seems small and intimate. The staff are delightful, the food delicious (we had sea bass and duck, followed by frangipane tart and a lemon dessert), it's informal but definitely smart enough for a special meal. A real find.

Very good “bistro “ experience. Plenty of choice on the menu ( including wine by the glass). Friendly and professional service. Loved the decor! From soufflé to Armagnac we would not change a thing!

We have been living in London for a month, Le Petit Citron is close to home and we have been there at least 4 times. There are already 6!! Delicious!!! Thanks to all the staff!!!

Had a very nice dinner here. Snails hot and tasty with fresh bread to soak up the parsley butter and a delicious steak frites with a nice glass of red.

My partner and I went on a Saturday evening to celebrate our 3-year anniversary and we were welcomed so warmly and felt very well looked after. The food was absolutely delicious and very well priced - great value for such a fab experience.

Such a cute restaurant, really enjoyed ourselves. For starters we had the cheese soufflé which was delicious, we also had the scallops which were a bit disappointing. However the coq au vin & confit duck more than made up for it. Followed by the frangipane which was raspberries and was awesome. We will definitely return.

Lovely French brasserie. Felt very authentic. Excellent food.

A delightful neighbourhood restaurant. If only there were more like it. The food is skilfully prepared and always well worth going out for. The staff are charming.

I'm hard to feed! I have IBS and this limits the fruit and veg I can eat a lot. I contacted Le Petit Citron in advance and got the most positive response I have ever had. On arrival I was given a menu marked up with what I could eat and not eat and how they could adapt some dishes. I had a joyous meal of Beignet de Fromage and then Coquille St Jacques Grillees, with lots of vegetable side orders. Service was perfect: Noticed everything but still laid back. I will come again.

Le Petit Citron is a delightful gem, offering a fab French dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable – warm, attentive, and always with a smile. The staff truly make you feel at home, enhancing the overall dining atmosphere. The food was fantastic, every bite was a treat, from the starters to the desserts, and the quality of the ingredients really shone through. Their wine selection is great and complemented our food beautifully. What really sets Le Petit Citron apart is the vibrant buzz of the restaurant. It's a place filled with energy, perfect for a Friday meal out. The atmosphere, combined with the exceptional service and delicious food, made for an unforgettable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a slice of French food in London!

What a lovely evening we had at Le Petit Citron from start to finish. Great ambiance, delicious food and excellent service from everyone. Being French I felt right at home! The taste of the sirloin steak was amazing and the 'petit pot au chocolat' as well as the 'chocolate marquise' were a highlight. Thank you, this was the second time we came and certainly not the last.

We had delicious dinner. It was a real treat to have Brandade de Morue. Lots more regional French dishes please ! Thank you for a delightful evening.

This continues to be year on year an outstanding French restaurant with wonderfully cooked food and staff that meet the same standard kind and wanting to give a great evening for people

Fantastic little bistro in hammersimth, wonderful service with a brilliant stock of wine and delicious dishes. Keep it up and we will be sure to return!

Vraiment magnifique! Simple french food done really very well. Not pretentious. Not super clever. Just very very well done. I have just had the pleasure of the finest burger I have ever eaten in the UK. A soft brioche bun. Simple toppings. Perfectly cooked steak haché and a layer of comté to add depth of flavour. Don’t even get me started on the fries. Bien joué tout le monde.

Perfect evening out in the Province style

This gem of a restaurant is a long time favourite of ours. The food is delicious every time and the staff are lovely.

A lovely lunch & very nice service. Fantastic food thank you.

Wow, wow, wow, it's possibly the best French restaurant in town. The food sensational, staff exceptional and to top the night off the wonderful people gave money off our bill to show their congratulations on our 12th wedding anniversary. Thank you to everyone at LPC for making our evening truly special 💕

We ate starter, main course and dessert and everything was very, very good. I recommend the Scallops and the soufflé. The next time we come to London we will go back without hesitation.

Wonderful little French bistro, one of our favourites. Great value and the food is delicious - I particularly recommend the coq au vin and the confit duck leg!

We had a lovely family supper with you recently. great food and friendly, knowledgeable service in this welcoming neighbourhood restaurant. We will be back again soon,

We love Le Petit Citron. A real taste of the south of France, friendly team and a lovely experience. A great asset to the neighbourhood.

I'm a big fan of LPC and all that it embodies. The staff are friendly without being obtrusive, the service is at the right speed, and the food/wine hits the spot. It was miserable weather outside, but a bright sunny Provencal day inside! Please keep up the excellent work as it's so nice to experience a professional independent restaurant. Vive la France!

Nice place to have a french 60's atmosphere. It has a choice of french typical south cuisine, including some addons from the french speaking Mediterranean neighbours. It reminded me, my time in france when I was a kid. Just like in the film Ratatouille. (And I took a ratatouille)

We chose Le Petit Citron to celebrate our engagement and it had a very special night thanks to the staff!

A brisk healthy walk from Shepherd's Bush Underground Station will bring you to this delightful French restaurant. I received impeccable service from the smiling and engaging Davonte who took modifications in my order in his stride. I thoroughly enjoyed the red lentil soup and coquilles st Jacques. Doesn't food taste just great when you haven't had it in ages? It was a treat to savour again the coquilles st Jacqueline, that were beautifully presented and perfectly prepared, accompanied by colourful carrots. There is a great selection of drinks 🍸 on offer, including the celebre Ricard that I enjoyed as an aperitif. I ended the experience with a quality cheesebord. The decor complements the atmosphere, and as such, this is a great venue to enjoy an evening with friends or family. I hope you will concur.

Lovely, local bistro. Nice food and good service.

I recently moved to the Brook Green area and saw this venue regularly when walking past. I took my girlfriend for a meal on Friday night and we had an amazing time, the food was excellent, good value and the atmosphere and service was brilliant. We can't wait to come again.

We loved it! Every thing was delicious!! Great hospitality too!:))

We had such a delicious meal here - really lovely and attentive staff and delicious French food. We would recommend!

Perfect size menu means food is always fresh and specials change regularly. Generous portions of chips etc. staff are always friendly and helpful.

Food was excellent and lovely service 🙏🏻

I absolutely loved this place, it was cozy and it had this special feeling atmosphere. The duck fat popcorn was delicious. Quality of dishes and presentation ...compliments to the chef.

Very nice food quality. Service was perfectly. Just Missoula terrace to eat outside during summer time

A really good French restaurant serving food that is both great value and very authentic. Good service and a pleasant interior. I will visit again.

Good food but overpriced. Nice atmosphere

All you would want from a French bistro, good food, good service and that quaint bistro feeling

Authentic and delicious French dishes, friendly and attentive service and great décor all at good value for money!

it is such a cute place, the food was amazing and the staff were wonderfully attentive. I highly recommend

We had a gorgeous evening when we dined at Le Petit Citron recently. As visitors to London for the weekend and faced with endless choice in the big city, I am so glad that we found this gem of a place only 15 minutes from our hotel! The façade of the restaurant is beautiful and perfectly matches the quaint interior - quintessential French décor which really enhanced the experience. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table, which was in the window of the restaurant and very romantic. We started the evening with cocktails - a Royale Kir and an elderflower flavoured special - and the duck fat popcorn and Olives À La Provençale. The cocktails really transported us to a restaurant in Paris, as did much of our experience. I'm sorry to say that we did not have starters, but I definitely would if I ever had the chance to visit again. For the main event, we ordered the Confit de Canard and the Coq Au Vin Blanc - both dishes were outstanding and flavourful, both the duck and chicken fell from the bone. I did make the mistake of ordering Frites as a side as I was unaware that the Coq Au Vin was served with a small portion of rice, however being served an enormous basket of hot, crispy, salted frites is a mistake I would happily make again and again. We ordered red and white wine respectively, both of which were served in small decanters, and suited our dishes very well. French desserts are one of my guilty pleasures in life, and we shared the Crème Brulee and blueberry Frangipane tart. Both of which were absolutely delicious and the plates scraped clean. Our service for the evening was faultless: attentive without being overbearing, which is much appreciated. Very reasonably priced for London and well worth the journey from the main tourist hotspots. I would highly recommend Le Petit Citron for anyone wanting a fine dining experience without the costly price tag. Thank you for rounding off a lovely weekend in the capital, we hope to visit again one day!

Little French gem without all the pretentious side you often find in Chelsea or Marylebone bistros. Love to have this near my home to feel like I am in Paris for a meal. It offers some of the French classics like the escargots, duck confit and others.

Wonderful food, warm and welcoming service and a fantastic atmosphere. Thank you!

Lovely restaurant, always a great choice on the specials board. The décor is warming and very welcoming

The food took us back to our time in Southern France. We enjoyed our duck confit, coq au vin blanc, and our lavender-laced drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). The food was so good that we absolutely had to order dessert and had an excellent lemon dessert as well as the pictured chocolate one. We will be back, especially in colder weather for the cassoulet.

Little gem, amazing service, beautiful ambiance, they were kind enough to organise a small surprise for my husband’s birthday, we will definitely come back!

Trevligt bemötande i en genuin fransk miljö. Vi gjorde flera besök under vårt veckolånga besök i London. Speciellt Petit Soufflé Au Chèvre Blanc, Onglet och Pot Au Chocolat rekommenderas.

No smiles on offer with the food. The house wine and dessert were good, the starter and main less so.

Good, reasonably priced French Bistro style restaurant. Good service and fun authentic atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Great food, lovely staff and the atmosphere is great!

What a fantastic find! A genuine French Bistro in every sense, decor, cuisine (fabulous all round), wonderful service! We will be back

Such an amazing French restaurant in Shepherd's Bush, truly authentic.

Went for dinner here and it was fantastic, the confit duck was outstanding, so tender and flavourful with crispy skin. Ratotouille was stellar too, as was the garlic bread starter, and the environment in the restaurant was great too convivial and friendly and we were really digging the retro French pop that was being played

Unexpected little gem in the heart of Hammersmith. Excellent food, wine and service. Loved the goats cheese soufflé and the duck!

I had not been before and found it easy to book online and booked mid-week lunch with a friend. Arrived and shown a table near the window and enjoyed reading the menu. Unfortunately we did not have a great experience: we both found the special starter of the day almost impossible to eat: lots of large pieces of bitter curly lettuce and teeth-breaking croutons and rock hard lardons served with a poached egg which should have been soft boiled, but was hard. Our main courses of cod, and hake were perfect and delicious, as were the deserts (lemon pudding and rum baba). The atmosphere was spoilt by a large and noisy group of work colleagues who had obviously pre-booked and were seated nearby after we had already started our meal (otherwise we would have sat elsewhere) and which made it very difficult for us to have a pleasant conversation. I am sorry to say I will not hurry back after spending over £100 on food and sparkling water.

Cannot recommend this wonderful restaurant enough. From the moment you’re welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff, to the moment your brilliantly cooked food arrives it feels like you are in the heart of France. Topped off with a great wine list. The only difficulty I had was choosing what to eat! Ah well, even more of an excuse to be back very soon…

Sitting on your terrasse yesterday and having a delicious meal felt like a mini-holiday. Thank you so much.

Lovely meal with good service and a local neighborhood vibe.

A joint Birthday, Father's Day Celebration lunch for a total of 8 family members and there partners. Handled really well on a very busy Sunday lunch day. Heartily recommend it for other gatherings of that size as food was delicious we went for a la carte. Definitely good value. Thanks to the team!

Lovely restaurant with excellent dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

I came here every Monday for lunch with my son and the owners are beyond kind, accommodating and the food delicious. I highly recommend the panisse! Sadly my son's at nursery now, and I'm back at work, but I will miss those lunches. Thank you Lawrence and team!

Amazing service, very good confort food for the soul, nice portions

An ok brasserie- nothing more. Small menu and wine list. Rather slow service. The food quality is average (fries very salty!). If the place is crowdy it gets very loud: not for a romantic dinner!

Great food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Party of three with a nice table by the window. We tried the wine of the month which was very good for a good price. We had the goat cheese soufflé and the anchovy tartinette, both were excellent. Two orders of the duck confit (wonderful) and a sea bass (very good). For dessert we had the chocolate pot de crème that was fantastic. Service was very attentive. Was a great night.

Sois leur invité l! How refreshing to walk into a restaurant for the first time and be greeted like regulars! No rather dear old friends from days gone by. But wait is this Shepherd's Bush or gayee Paree? The staff, service, décor and cuisine have the charm of Paris bistro right here in our neighborhood! No Eurostar needed! Unbelievably friendly staff, I mean each and everyone - sincerely nice people who enjoy themselves looking after their customers. It shows! Food is classic no nonsense French delights! Nothing is seasoned or cooked to less than perfection! We honestly didn't want to leave - hence many after dinner drinks! We've already booked a return which is our goto when we find somewhere exceptional. V&G

Great local neighbourhood gem. Thoroughly enjoyed their food and atmosphere. Very attentive and helpful staff. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

This is a really lovely bistro. We really enjoy the food. The ambience was perfect and the service was excellent.

We had a great meal at Le Petit Citron. Delicious authentic French food and friendly attentive service, in a beautiful place. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent French restaurant with authentic Provence products. Felt like home!

Saturday lunch for 4. Easy online booking and you can leave special instructions too. Always a warm welcome from the maitre d’ who selects very efficient and well-mannered serving staff. Very good kitchen and the French provincial cooking is excellent. Good wine list to accompany. David W, June 2024

Wonderful, authentic, with great ambience, service, and food! Plus it’s in a great neighborhood, easily walked from nearby apartments and the Tube! Definitely go again!

Nice place, food pretty good. We had the chicken and the lamb rump special which had good flavours but needed a bit more sauce.

Decor very French, feels like being in Paris, even the staff uniform consists of the striped blue and white T shirt. Now for the serious question, the food? To die for. I've been twice so can only comment on the burger with roquefort cheese. (can choose comte instead if you don't like blue cheese) I had not eaten a burger in over 10yrs but after trying theirs, I'm hooked and crave it now and then, fresh top quality beef, fresh condiments, the bun too and that does matter as well. I expect next time I'll order the burger again, it's that good. Friendly but professional staff, highly recommend, also has outside seating for spring and summer. Gin with Cassis and Lavender was perfect blend and cheaper than a glass of wine in the pub.

A special meal out: friendly and efficient service from the whole team, a lovely choice of drinks, and delicious, well-cooked food. Highlights were the duck fat popcorn; the courgette, pea, and basil soup; and the salt cod gratin. Highly recommended.

Friday 19th dinner was as good as ever I am always in awe of how consistently the staff make for an enjoyable experience thanks to all

We ate here early evening. The decor in the restaurant is nice We were asked if we wanted water for the table either still, sparkling or tap. We opted for still water. We shared a bottle of Chardonnay. We then shared a baguette with butter and tapanade and some olives. We had to ask the waiter for a side plate as we weren't given one We both had duck accompanied with gratin dauphinois, leek and prunes. We both enjoyed the duck and potatoes. I didn't particularly enjoy the leek, prune accompaniments My husband had a cheese board for dessert. He was disappointed with this. The roquefort was nice, the soft cheese was ok, the hard cheese was dry and tasteless . Also personally he would have preferred biscuits/crackers with the cheese rather than baguette slices, which he found a bit heavy. Also he wasn't given any cutlery for this and as there wasn't a member of staff available at the time we just took a knife off the next empty table. The bill was £117.39. The water was £6.50 Wine £30 Bread £4.95 Olives £4.95 Main course £22.50 Cheese board £12.95 There is a discretionary service charge of 12.5% which came to £13.04. Personally I would prefer to decide myself how much I should leave as a tip but we'd had a long day travelling and decided to just pay it.

Lovely little bistro. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious food. There were lots a of French guests which is always a good sign!

We chose Le Petit Citron for a birthday celebration and having not been there for almost a year, were completely bowled over by the sumptuous quality of the dishes, their presentation and the 'à la française' ambience. The Coq au Vin had THE best gravy reduction we've tasted, and the generous basket of French fries was an awesome, delicious addition. And the Creme Brulée made that wonderful sound (you know the one!) which noted its authenticity, and the silky smooth vanilla interior was delightful. Loved it! Looking forward to our next visit! Bravo!

Le Petit Citron has become our favourite restaurant in West London. All aspects of this establishment are excellent; the welcome, ambience, menu quality, service; the whole experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, from singles to large groups, mid-week or weekends. Looking forward to our next visit!

Bring my friend from Cyprus to have lunch today. Grateful that he likes it very much.

Stunning place and excellent service but unfortunately the food was lacking in taste and quality. Steak was too soft and sinewy, green beens dressing was also too subtle. I like stronger flavours and unfortunately this food needed a lot of seasoningnincluding the chickpea fries and french fries despite these two being cooked well. I really wanted to love this place but the food really needs improving.

A delightful French restaurant.

Good neighborhood bistro. Impeccable service, good food and good French music.

It was my first and hopefully not the last.There are still other yums …

Always great service and great food. A lovely local restaurant, would highly recommend!

The food was good, but a little too expensive compared to other restaurants. An absolute no-go, however, was the waitress wiping something off the floor with her bare hands and then continuing to serve drinks without washing her hands.

This restaurant is among the finest in the area. The food was outstanding, perfect blend of flavors and exceptional product quality. Gianna was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, her service was beyond excellent, easily a 20 out of 10. I’m looking forward to returning soon! 😘

Great cinnamon bun. Good variety of pastry.

We had fabulous service and a wonderful dinner. Desserts were so TASTY, we will definitely return.

Great quality of food, really nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful local restaurant. Always lovely welcoming staff, simple but well done French bistro dishes, and good drinks.

My first time at the restaurant yesterday. I shall return there to eat again - soon, I hope. Recommended. Returned for lunch in April 24. A warm welcome, fine food and drink with attentive service. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, very French atmosphere but very slow service - have waited for our food for 1,5 hrs.
