Le Vacherin in Ealing

Another great experience at our neighbourhood gem! Tried their 5 course tasting menu & really enjoyed it. The souffle was super light & cheesy, the short rib nicely executed with lots of contrasting condiments, and chocolate caramel cremeux so morish I could have had another. If I had to be really picky, not all of the short rib was perfectly tender but it didn't take away from overall enjoyment!

We had a delightful fun Birthday celebration Le Vacharin - the food was superb, excellent selection on the menu & the Birthday girl was thrilled with her surprise pudding! The service throughout was attentive & charming.

Service very friendly and personal. Farwaz is excellent.

Had a group luch for 7 people. Really well arranged with clear communication and planning with the restaurant ahead of time. Food was delicious, with fantastic service and a great atmosphere. We all had a great time - thank you very much!

Really excellent restaurant. Good service, delicious food and a nice ambience.

Even though I live at the other side of London, I love going to Le Vacherin for the regular dishes and the special dinners. I had the Truffle dinner with several friends who also adore truffles. Initially we were shown a fragrant array of raw truffles to be used for our dinner - the aroma stayed with us after the truffles went back to the Kitchen The amuse bouche was a lovely small cup of mushroom soup with a thick texture, topped with a generous layer of black truffle. Very good start! The course of ceviche of Norwegian Halibut was disappointing - a very soft, slimy row of long fillets with insufficient sauce - not what should be done to this firm, delightful fish My companions liked it. The highlight was a perfectly cooked generous beef fillet crowned with foie gras, on a bed of kale. Matched with a Croatian red wine it was worth being there for that one dish. Good value especially when compared with other similar events in central London.

We had been before to the truffle tasting and asked a foodie colleague to join us. The staff were great and gave us a good table and the service was passable as they seemed over-run. The food was very variable. A few courses (amouse bouche and duck) were good but the rest really did not bring out the truffle and were very disappointing. Wine pairing was also mixed...

Ah, the tantalising allure of French gastronomy—a symphony of refined taste and exquisite service. It is a world with which I am intimately acquainted, having been raised amidst the culinary artistry of my father, a chef trained in the hallowed kitchens of Paris and later crowned head chef of a prestigious London hotel. Dining out, for me, is not merely a meal but a ritual, a celebration of life’s finer pleasures. With this in mind, I revisited Le Vacherin, a venue I had previously regarded as a paragon of French dining, albeit with expectations tempered by the wisdom that even the brightest stars can falter. My first visit, a serene Sunday luncheon orchestrated by the ever-capable Marco and an attentive waitress, had been an affair of unblemished excellence. The Sunday roast was sublime, the service impeccable—a harmonious dance of taste and timing. How different, then, was this latest experience, where the gilded promise of the past was tarnished by indifference and ineptitude. I had secured a table for four at 15.45 PM, booking online with the expectation of another memorable meal. We arrived punctually and were seated with efficiency, but the absence of Marco cast a shadow over the proceedings. In his stead was a manageress whose approach to hospitality lacked the finesse and warmth that Marco so effortlessly embodied. Our first hurdle came with the menus. The Sunday roast menu, for which we had specifically come, was not initially offered; only the à la carte menu was presented. Upon request, the Sunday menu was reluctantly provided, only for the manageress to inform us, minutes later, that the roast was “sold out.” A disappointment, to be sure, but worse was to follow. When the manageress returned to take our orders, she paused mid-sentence to announce, with all the charm of an officious bureaucrat, that the restaurant would close at 1645 PM, and we must vacate by 17.15 PM, without the possibility of dessert. The brusqueness of her tone, coupled with the absurdity of the proclamation, left us bewildered. How strange, for during our previous visit at a similar hour, Marco had facilitated a leisurely three-course meal without so much as a raised eyebrow. The three desserts in any event did not require any chef to prepare. What made this decree all the more galling was the lack of forewarning. The booking platform made no mention of such time constraints, and we had journeyed some distance—two of our party being severely disabled—to partake in what we assumed would be an unhurried meal. Instead, we were met with an experience so rushed and inhospitable that one could scarcely believe it was the same establishment. As I glanced around the half-empty dining room, the reason for its vacancy became glaringly obvious. Without Marco’s guiding hand, the ethos of prioritising the customer and treating them with kindness has been utterly lost. Hospitality is, after all, an art, and here it has been reduced to a hollow transaction. The brilliance of Le Vacherin has dimmed, and though the culinary delights of France will always call to me, I shall not heed that call from this establishment again. To return would be to invite further disappointment, and life, as we know, is too brief for mediocrity.

Excellent food (we had the set menu which had a choice of dishes) and service - we all enjoyed the evening.

Not only is the food delicious but there is grace, warmth and generosity about this restaurant that makes it unique in my experience. I've been going there for the past twenty years, it never disappoints. Thank you.

Very slow service 1 hour wait for first course and at least 30 mins before main. Lack of choice no Guinea Fowl venison sole available.. chateaubriand was tasteless. I suspect cooked from frozen.Staff pleasant but a very disappointing experience. Not inclined to return. Sorry

Thank you for a lovely meal and your attentive service and a pleasant surprise at the end. Truly memorable .

Pretty disappointing experience. Very average aperitifs. For a “french” restaurant the bread served on the table was very poor. Would have been unacceptable in France. It was also dumped on the table and the waiter said over his shoulder as he rushed off “that’s anchovy butter yeah”. Food was pretty underwhelming. Very bland velouté. Took 45 minutes to arrive. Over cooked monkfish.

Food good service impeccable thoroughly recommended

The Vacherin simply gets better and better. Latest menu really interesting. So many appealing dishes decisions were hard!! Staff excellent as ever - perfect blend of professionalism humour and warmth. Super wine list at excellent prices. Le Vacherin is an absolute gem - and all this for less than the cost of a ‘so so’ ‘gastropub’ meal

Another lovely evening at Le Vacherin, introduced my sister and friend to the food which was great as always! Much appreciate the attention to all detail, so efficient, what service, thank you!

Highest class of service you could find in a local restaurant, friendly and kind Food quality is amazing as well, one of the best birthday celebration experience

This restaurant is intimate but absolutely wonderful. The service was fantastic and our matre d was very attentive and courteous. The food was absolutely delicious and greatly presented. Definitely will be eating here again.

Excellent restaurant - good food, space, super crisp napiery, room to sit back and talk, unobtrusive service.

Booked for 3.45 Stated it was for a special occasion Seated 345 At 4.00 told by manageress that restaurant closes at 445 and no time for dessert. We left Disgraceful

We opted for a 5-course menu, all of which was superb aside from an underseasoned velouté as the amuse bouche. The mains (ox cheek and a sea bass) were really great cookery. Standout was the warm, attentive, efficient service by a great front of house team.

Great place and a great atmosphere team are excellent

An excellent Sunday lunch with good selection of starters and desserts. Very good value for set lunch. The staff were lovely.

I loved the food and the atmosphere. I will definitely go again.

The food and service at Le Vacherin is always superb.

Cosy restaurant serving top-notch food at excellent value for money. Very attentive and professional waiting staff. Great ambience too.

Not sure what was happening as there were loads of staff there but very slow service. The Melba Toast with the starter was not crisp or fresh (inedible) so I had to order a bread basket which took longer than 10 minutes. The actual meat with the roast dinner was scant - especially in comparison to the table beside me. Perhaps this is because I had a Groupon voucher & quality/ quantity / service was scaled back according? Very disappointing.

great dinner as usual, always love to come back.

The staff was very nice and greeted us warmly. Over priced for what you can order. We ordered the 3 course prix fix. The first course was a soup that was kind of watery and very little squash flavor. The other first course was a chicken dish that was actually a kind of pate, which wasn't very well described to us or on the menu. The main entrees were a mixed review. The sea bass was good and well prepared. The pork loin was fatty and the "gravy" was tasteless. The desserts were very good. The creme brûlée was exceptional and the chocolate mousse was good too.

Exceptional food, wine and service. Enjoyable experience.

Outstanding, as always. The 5-course menu is excellent value.

Wonderful chateaubriand.. .tarte tatin to die for..lovely service..very helpful with wine suggestions. This was our second visit. Will definitely be back.

We went for Sunday lunch, and the set menu is a bargain. If you want roast beef on a Sunday, you can’t go wrong here, it’s excellent. We also had some very nice Maldon oysters, and the cheese soufflé is very popular. The atmosphere is upmarket casual, and it’s just a few blocks back from the main high street in Chiswick, giving it a very local neighbourhood feel.

We hadn't been here for sometime but was just as good as we remembered. Excellent Sunday Roast, lovely staff and ambience. Highly recommend.

An excellent place to celebrate a special occasion. The Staff on the night were professional, courteous and attentive but also made us laugh making the atmosphere during the evening warm and relaxing. The food was delicious and very well presented. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy this dining experience again.

The food is really fabulous, as is the service once you seated. It’s a real gem in Chiswick

Posh, small and a little pretentious. The place is full of regulars who live in the area. The food was good especially for a set menu. I must say that I felt a little out of place being the youngest guest that afternoon. The 2 of us were given a large table because we booked on the same day, which was a little awkward for us. The service was fast and efficient but the host didn’t not really speak to us or recommend anything.

All courses were excellent as was the service. Will be visiting again.

Really lovely food with great portions, we tried both the alacarte and the fixed menu and we're happy, the wine pairing was great too. The welcome breads and homemade anchovy butter was a nice unusual start too. Only small note was the music which was a little like being in an elevator, and the lights a bit too bright for the evening! Servers were lovely and restaurant felt really nice and elevated, though - would return and recommend.

In case you didn't know, the prix fixe menu at this formidable restaurant for a three course Sunday lunch must offer some of the very best value for money in west London, if not beyond. Le Vacherin remains one of the key outposts of classic French cooking in the Chiswick area, and the current going rate for the deal is 36.00 per head, excluding drinks and service. Classic French-inspired dishes go alongside traditional British Sunday roasts, and the service is impeccable. Heavens! One could otherwise be in Paris. Highly recommended!

Cocktail happy hour beforehand was a nice surprise. We had a fabulous meal with excellent service. The food was all divine and the presentation was wonderful.

The prix fixe Sunday Lunch menu at le Vacherin must surely be one of the best-kept value secrets among the restaurant-dining fraternity, as my wife and I rediscovered recently. A three course spread for £36.00 per head! No compromises in the standards of what comes out of the kitchen nor of the attentive service on offer in the dining room, either. Our recent foray there found us both starting with ping-pong ball-sized 'bon-bons' of crisp pigs-head'- translated perhaps as slow-cooked shredded pig's cheek - each nestling in a crispy coating, with Ravigote saucing aside. My wife went on to a classic slow-cook Daube de Boeuf plus accompaniments while I myself greatly enjoyed generous portions of aged Hereford beef, cooked pink, and starring as the basis of a traditional Sunday roast. Crème Brulées flavoured with Madagascan vanilla provided yet another classic with which to finish our meal. Additional cost of drinks and service aside, this represents quite extraordinary value for money these days from a restaurant that has consistently kept its standards very high.

A superb restaurant and experience at Le Vacherin. We were very warmly greeted by the friendly staff. We had a jovial running conversation with our main waitress, between courses, who was wonderfully helpful. We had pre-booked the Tasting Menu with a Glass of Cremant, via TheFork, as it was our first visit there. It certainly did not disappoint. Five glorious dishes which were a veritable treat for the tastebuds. Particularly memorable were the hors d’heuvres of Ballotin de Octopus, Vegetarian Parmentier of Wild Mushrooms and Puy Lentils and the Supreme of Icelandic Cod, Sausage Morteau, Palourde Clams and Sauce Vin Jaune. Absolutely exquisite. We actually did not want to leave as the ambience was so very pleasant. Highly recommended.

Last night's visit to Vacherine was a little disappointing. The food was much more expensive than the last time we visited and the table the four of us were seated in was near the window and very cold. Staff were helpful but service was slower than usual. Not the most welcoming atmosphere this time. Twice baked souffle was delicious but a £6.50 surcharge was added this time on the fixed price menu.

Nestled in the charming heart of Chiswick, West London, Le Vacherin is a traditional French bistro that offers a delightful escape to the flavours of Parisian gastronomy. This hidden gem is perfect for a romantic date night or any special occasion, with its cosy atmosphere and impeccable service that truly sets it apart. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Mariana and Leah, our servers for the evening, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of exceptional. The chef was also very accommodating, catering to our dietary needs without compromising on the flavours of the dishes. Our evening began with a serving of fresh bread accompanied by anchovy butter. The butter was rich, and savoury, and left us excited for what was to come. For starters, my wife enjoyed the Twice-Baked St Maure de Touraine Soufflé with heritage beetroot sorbet and bitter leaves—a dish that was as visually stunning as it was delicious. I opted for the Sicilian Red Prawn Tortelloni, topped with caviar, squid ink tuile, and finished with a shellfish bisque and a hint of white Alba truffle essence. Each bite was a burst of flavour, a perfect introduction to the culinary journey ahead. For the mains, I savoured the Supreme of Stone Bass, paired with red chicory, cauliflower purée, and Austell Bay mussels. While the dish is usually served with a white wine velouté, the chef crafted a special sauce just for me, which was delightful. My wife chose the Tranche of Wild Turbot, served with artichoke Barigoule, sea asparagus, and Palourde clams—a dish that perfectly balanced freshness and indulgence. We also shared a side of gratin Dauphinois, which was creamy and satisfying. To finish our meal on a sweet note, I indulged in the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, with confit pineapple, Alphonso mango foam, and orange sorbet. This dessert was a true highlight, offering a symphony of tropical flavours. My wife enjoyed the Peanut Butter Parfait, paired with caramelized banana cake, sorbet, and puffed corn—another superb choice. Our evening at Le Vacherin was truly memorable. If you're looking to recapture the authenticity of French cuisine, look no further. The restaurant also offers halal options, which can be pre-ordered in advance. I highly recommend Le Vacherin for its supreme quality and exceptional service—a true taste of France in the heart of Chiswick.

Wife and I used to go here 8 years ago. This time, we went for a family birthday. Service, food and overall experience was brilliant!

My wife and I very much enjoyed dinner at Le Vacherin. The food was very good and the staff were knowledgeable and attentive. It was a lovely evening.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good roast beef with trimmings. Calm atmosphere conducive to conversation. Service friendly and non-intrusive.

We have just celebrated our Ruby Wedding anniversary with a fabulous lunch. The food was delicious and the service exemplary. My husband has mobility problems and the staff were extremely helpful, assisting him in and out of the car and accommodating us close to the door so he didn't have to walk too far. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and we can't wait to go back.

£40 menu good value. . Lovley food and excellent staff. Very attentive and listened to our requests and a charming manner.

Wonderful food, setting and service as always from Le Vacherin.

Fabulous value - the 5-course menu was excellent. Charming service too and a delightful, calm ambience. Just the place if you like a starched linen tablecloth.

A nugget tucked away on the Chiswick borders. My wife and I are experienced diners and were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant. French based cuisine, the presentation of the food and intense flavours, spoke volumes about the Chef. A brilliant experience and we can't wait to experience it again. Highly recommend this establishment, the front of house service was exceptional

This is one of our favourite restaurants and we went last Sunday evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We chose the 5 course taster menu which started with a lovely glass of Cremant de Bourgogne. The courses were delicious - the cheese souffle starter was superb as always. I rarely choose any other starter. The wine list has been altered fairly recently and we had plenty of excellent choice. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you like good french cuisine.

The 5 course tasting menu is an amazing offer we are so lucky to have such a special, lovely neighbourhood restaurant. Always feels like a special occasion.

Wonderful restaurant, high class food with excellent service and value for money.

Only good restaurant open on a monday. Excellent food - gazpacho amuse bouche, ballotine of octopus and pig cheek bon bons to start. Then beautiful cod for me and very tasty lamb for guest. Two delicious puddings and great help with interesting wine list. Slightly lacking ambience as only 2 tables incl us were occupied. Highly recommended

It used to be a favourite but sadly we found all had changed. Very small not very interesting menu and false description of foie gras starter which was more like soft kidney and onion. Certainly no foie gras. Main courses were all very average. Highly over priced wine list but chosen ones were excellent. Good staff but slow service to start off. Altogether has lost its original charm and good value. Very sad.

Delicious food. The souffle is a must - it has been updated with beetroot - a great innovation. Melt in the mouth beef for mains. The cheese board was great. French cheese of course. Coffee ended a great meal.

Just a very nice place to eat. Unpretentious, relaxing, good food.

Classic French food: relatively simple in concept, but perfectly cooked, delicious, and served by staff who were attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. The wine list was extensive and not overpriced. My wife and I had an excellent anniversary meal.

A relaxed enjoyable evening. Excellent service, excellent food. Accommodating chef when a guest was unable to eat some seafood in the 5 course menu. Amuse bouche was a scallop but this was quickly changed to an equally delicious course.

Upon our arrival, we were met with a rather subdued atmosphere. The restaurant was eerily quiet, allowing us to eavesdrop on conversations taking place at tables five tables away. Hoping for an exceptional dining experience that aligned with the glowing reviews we had read, we ordered the Chateaubriand aged for 28 days. Unfortunately, the dish was devoid of flavours and quite chewy. Its accompaniment, the bone marrow, was an odd pairing and not particularly appetising, which was disappointing. We speculated that perhaps the chef was having an off day. However, the Oysters were great. On a positive note, the service we received was quite good.

Found this per chance , and was pretty good. Warm welcome, nice modern bistro style atmosphere with quirky frogs in the decor. The set menu for Sunday was good, and offered a good choice. The home made bread was a modest quantity but with the regular and anchovy was very nice. My double baked roquefort soufle was yummy and not too salty, my table partners gazpacho was tasty. My main of corn fed chicken wish potato puree and mushroom was tasty, other side had a tasty home made gnocchi dish. We ordered extra bread and spinach on the side, tasty! The recommended creme brulee hit the spot, and opposite the chocolate bavarois was tasty. Staff were very swift and friendly, knowledgeable. On occasionally too quick (starting to clear my coffee as I was putting the cup back on the saucer). Good for a special occasion.

"I recently had lunch at Le Vacherin and had an exceptional experience. The gnocchi with peas was delightful, offering a fresh and flavorful twist. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive, making the afternoon even more enjoyable. The desserts were fantastic, a perfect end to a wonderful meal. The tranquil and peaceful atmosphere added to the overall experience. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommend!"

5 star experience from the service to the superb food!! Hope to come back soon.

Had lunch from the set menu. The Roquefort soufflé is absolutely wonderful and definitely worth ordering. The lapin aux pruneaux et Armagnac was disappointing as I was expecting a dish more alike the French equivalent ie a white sauce made with pruneaux and Armagnac rather than a green sauce / coulis. The rabbit was also a little tough rather than melting in your mouth. For deserts, we tried the crème brûlée and the sorbets (mango and raspberry), both were fabulous. Overall, we were pleased with our lunch. The staff were also very friendly.

We have been here couple of years ago, and had such a lovely night, we returned today. I must say we were not dissapointed. The food is absolutely amazing (as we remembered), the atmosphere is lovely and quiet, and Claire, who looked after us was superb and one of the nicest waitress we ever came across. Highly recommend

Wonderful service at Le Vacherin! We stopped in for a last-minute table, and they were very accommodating. Everything was delicious, and our server Lia was lovely. A neighborhood gem!

Exquisite food wonderfully presented. Delicious flavors. Classic French menu excellent venue to celebrate an occasion or just to have excellent food in a lovely location. Nice cocktail range and excellent wine menu.

Ok I took some time to decide if I needed to leave this review or not…but I think because of the whole experience I deemed it necessary for future diners considering my aunt, who has lived in Chiswick forever, loved this restaurant and has come here for years, also felt the experience we had the other evening was completely not up to par per her usual visits. To preface: I have had the pleasure of working in and running over a dozen establishments back in the states, anywhere from a dive bar to fine dining restaurants, for the last 12 years. That being said I will say the SAVIOR of the entire experience was the Maitre D. I cannot remember her name but she was Italian and had glasses. She was LOVELY. Game changer to have someone like that running the show. I will break this down by doing Pros vs Cons and try to keep it simple and to the point. Pros: - our food (my partner and i shared the Chateaubriand) was damn good. Needed salt but that’s just my personal taste buds. - the Maitre D was excellent. She was without a doubt one of the best I have ever come across - cheese plate was very tasty as well Cons: (this is going to be lengthy) - our server. She was nice. Sure. BUT. I do not know what the hell was going with her but she did not have a clue on how to address guests in a formal setting. Wayyyy too overwhelming, oversharing strange stories we didn’t ask for, getting too friendly (ie very touchy with us, physically). As a former server/bartender you have to learn to read the room. She did not. Keep it short and sweet and concise. She kept calling my stepfather “papa” after we had already told her not to. She forgot 5-6 things. Not 1-2. That can be looked over…but 5-6 at an establishment like this is just unacceptable. The whole experience with her was just not good. I don’t know how to put it any other way without getting rude and I won’t do that on this platform. - the value: Atrocious. I mean that. My partner ordered the scallop dish, which was somewhere around £15-16 ($20USD). We were warned it was small which is fine. But it came out and I was SHOCKED. It looked as if they took one medium sized scallop and cut it into 3 little pieces. Completely unacceptable and outrageous to even contemplate serving that as a “complete” dish. That’s an amuse buche AT BEST. You will not get your money’s worth here. The total bill was £471 and I left hungry. Ridiculous. - the food: my mother crab tart was underwhelming, lacked salt and again, tiny. The cocktails…don’t get me started. Not up to par for what you’d expect with paying that amount. The Escargot…man. Take the snails OUT of the shell. I had to crack two of my shells to get to the snails. Don’t make me work to eat my food. If I want to do that I will go to a seafood joint where I crack crab legs. The Lamb entree. Overcooked. And the green sludge they SMOTHERED the plate in was completely tasteless… The creme brulee was underwhelming as well. It was fine, but I’d pass on it if I ever came back. - the manager/host (not even sure??): when we came in and gave our name (Burton) he mistook it for another party under Barton and tried to seat us at a table with a man that was already sitting down. I repeatedly told him, “no, this isn’t right” and he just seemed utterly confused even though we made it clear the name was Burton. Nobody really greeted us when we came in, it was more of a “oh hey, follow me…”. Not very fine dining if you ask me… And I will stop there. It just was a BAD experience. I hope it’s not normally like this and from the reviews it doesn’t seem as such. I also noticed they may have been down a bartender which made things super hectic. I get that, when a staff member doesn’t show it can throw the whole service off. I do wish to return and I do hope they see this and plan to amend it in some sort of way for my Aunt as she was thoroughly disappointed because she picked out the spot. Oh well.

We were a party of 5 - when we arrived at the restaurant they wanted to seat us at a table with a complete stranger?! When we landed at our table it was apparent there was no bartender so drinks took forever. Food was ok but not outstanding. The restaurant seemed to be caught in a time warp with an outsize tab attached to it. 600 hundred pounds!!! really, for mediocre food and crazy service. They were clearly having a bad day but we were all gobsmacked. Dont even think of eating here..

It’s a lovely restaurant and whilst set up for Father’s Day by immediately giving the two men on the table a beer it took ages to be asked for drinks for the girls. No wine list given so just requested house rose! Service was slow, coffees came well after desserts and our water wasn’t refilled. Food was delicious and although not a bad experience we won’t rush back!

Me and my Mrs only one black couple the impression from one of the waitress why you come dinner Very disappointed

This is our favorite place in Chiswick, and the first one come to mind when we think of doing a nice meal locally. Dishes are impeccably served, always well prepared and delicious. Staff are lovely, kind and very attentive.

Quality food in a nice relaxed setting. A blue cheese soufflé (twice baked) was nice though I wasn't sure about the accompanying sorbet -but I suspect I am the exception. Gnocchi delicious. Turbot good. What is especially nice is that two people could bring a bottle of wine with no corkage. A great idea. All in all a tasty somewhat traditional (which I like!) French meal.

Halfway between central London and Heathrow. The Sunday roast was incredible. Would definitely return.

A lovely meal. The service and cooking are superb. Considering the quality of the food, this restaurant is very reasonably priced.

Truly memorable for all the right reasons to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Staff were perfectly attentive with great service. Love the small menu and the food was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was great with the ongoing murmurings of chat surrounded by simple yet sympathetic decor. Would definitely recommend .

We’re been here many times and this time it was average. To begin with the volume in the glass of champagne was very disappointing. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said “thanks for the feedback”. My scallops starter was delicious but seriously small again. We had the chateaubriand for a main and it was very good. It’s dependable and good quality food in a nice setting/location let down this time by the portion size in my opinion. Prices are moderate to high

Great food, dishes were spectacular and we felt welcomed in the restaurant.Unfortunately the glasses of wine did not meet the expectations. I ordered a glass Saint Emilion and a glass of Port and both of them were full of sediment. Sediments are not a defect of the wine, they are normal especially in aged wines. Sediments in the glass are a naive error of the waiters (I hope not a sommelier) because you can avoid the problem using a micro filter while pouring the wine.

Great staff. Lovely approach to service. Great food.

Smart restaurant if a little too formal. Top class French cuisine but limited menu on main courses. Great wine list but a little pricey.

This is a French restaurant in Chiswick. We were a party of three on Saturday for lunch. The restaurant was far from busy. I knew they offered a prix fixe menu but I was given the a la carte only until I asked. The service was obliging and unobtrusive. We each chose different dishes for starters and mains. The description of the “entrees” as “les- hors -d’oeuvres” and the “plats” as “les plats principaux” whilst not strictly incorrect was clumsy. We all enjoyed our starters. The mains were fish and chips, confit d’lapin and daube. They were ok. The daube was a very small portion which suited me but men with more appetite would have found it mean. I still don’t understand the need to serve mains in soup bowls. The additional gratin (served in a cup?) was not right. Too much cream, cheese and overcooked potatoes, not in distinguishable slices. Deserts good, espresso fine. House white from Languedocx2 was right for the occasion. Total price just short of £200 all up good value for what we had, which certainly wasn’t a blowout. The room pleasantly and comfortably laid out and furnished. Good, clean bogs.

Excellent French food using fresh and in season ingredients. Superb!

service is always great and the châteaubriant was soooo good

Great food, great drinks, great customer service. Family and I had a wonderful evening! I'm a bit of a regular at Le Vacherin so will be 100% back for sure.

Enjoyed my first visit. Staff helpful and attentive though perhaps be clearer on the menus for Sunday lunch. Pudding we both ordered was as discussed with a member of staff. Not to our taste, texture but perhaps just us. Thanks to all.

Lovely French food with good service in Chiswick. A local favourite!

This is a delightful restaurant, food and service outstanding and excellent value.

To start with French, not even the name, we ordered a wine from the menu and they offered us another, the menu was barely two French dishes, the service was terrible, the attention had nothing to do, delayed, inefficient, a total disaster. My rating 1. Terrible service, menu, attention, etc.; They know when I'm back, NEVER.

Fabulous place to eat, good food, lovely atmosphere, attendance to detail, I could go on. It would be very difficult to find any thing to criticise.

The food is good but the booking service Open Table makes me think you do not really want customers, limited time at table, perpetual nuisance calls and emails wanting confirmation. We have enjoyed Le Vacherin many times over the years, njoy the food and ambience and service.

We had some good food from a nice menu and there was attentive service .

Excellent experience- great food - attentive service - will definitely return

Excellent Monday night with Oysters and Chateaubriand consumed with a lovely red wine. Attentive service with wonderful food and wine. A terrific time was had by all.

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and good service

I booked a table for Sunday lunch - 11 people for a special occasion. We arrived at 12.45 and didn't see a starter until two hours later. My guests were only given the A La Carte Menus and not, as advertised, the Sunday Set Menu which was the reason I'd booked the restaurant, having had that menu previously. Far more expensive too - I asked for the Sunday lunch menu and it was handed over with rather less grace than was required. Five bottles of wine later we finally had some food to eat - the food was good, but some was cold (presumably given the wait) - we didn't have the energy to complain. The wine waiter found it nigh on impossible to pour wine for 11 people from two bottles - hugely over filled glasses so that a third bottle was required. Really annoying. The reason we were given for our very long wait was that we hadn't chosen from the Sunday menu exclusively - which was a paltry excuse. This restaurant obviously has an issue with large parties - such a shame as I've had good meals there previously and was a loyal supporter. I won't be going back - bill just shy of £1100, with a tip of 13.5% coming in at £129 - not worth it by a very long way.

What a lovely experience it has been, Friday lunch. The restaurant is immaculate, table setting done to etiquette, lovely maître d and serveur. Big thank you to Leah and Claire for looking after me with care and professionalism. The food was exquisite, well balanced in flavour; lots of varieties even with a groupon voucher. Mercí Chef ! 5 stars well deserved from me.
