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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We went on a quiet Sunday evening and were one of only 3 tables. The team were lovely and the food was superb.

Had a great lunch here today. It’s incredible value. I had foie gras and then the chicken supreme. All the dishes which came out for me and my friends looked stylish (the salmon, duck veloute) and I tasted each of them. Service was good and the decor was nice. It’s good for either dates or groups. There was 6 of us. There’s a strong wine list. And there was two menus. One for Sunday lunch and one for other days. We went for the set menu on a Sunday and again it was very good value. A lot of choices were all French cuisine I love. I will need to go back to try more. I’d highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely go back.

I eat here quite regularly. This time my friends and I opted for the 5 course ‘experience’ and ‘upgraded’ one or two of the courses. The food was excellent and the service was as efficient and attentive as always. We brought our own wine for the main course but both the Cremant de Bourgogne that came with the ‘experience’ and the house Chardonnay were perfectly pleasant. Overall (and once again) a very enjoyable evening.

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent 5 course lunch to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. The food and the service were excellent. We were particularly impressed by HAPPPY ANNIVERSARY being written in chocolate sauce on my wife's dessert plate.

I rarely leave a bad review on restaurants for a few reasons, this is just a reminder to all vegans: French restaurants aren’t for vegans. This restaurant offers vegan menu for 3-course lunch, but I think they should stop offering it if they wouldn’t make any effort on the vegan dishes. To start with, the serving staff served bread with “Anchovy Butter” when they knew that we ordered vegan course meal. They did not ask if we were allergic to any food before serving (most restaurants ask this). After exchanging a few words with the manager, it sounded like they understand “vegan” as “non meat”. Saying this, I am now wondering if my vegan starter “Veloute” had dairy cream in it. 🤔 The stuffing of Bell Pepper for the starter is basically same as the content of Ratatouille for the main. Plating was also lazy, all sprinkled with watercress, even on the Fruit Salad (dessert). I strongly suggest that the restaurant removes the vegan options from their menu. P.S. Others around us having meat dishes incl Foie Gras and Roast Beef looked happy.

We had the 5-course tasting menu to celebrate a milestone birthday. The food and service were excellent which made the experience most memorable. Would highly recommend this restaurant for high quality food at a reasonable price.

We noticed mid meal that other tables were being offered a different menu to ours, on enquiring it turns out that there was an Open Table menu that we should have been offered. Discretionary Service was not added in recompense. My partners main course was very disappointing as he had enquired from our waiter about how the lambs tongue was presented in the dish. Only to find the dish was a very sweet pizza like vegetarian dish that he found inedible.

Grandes crepes. Recomendaría los batidos con un crepe sabroso, estaba delicioso. Vengo Coffee Dupe todas las semanas.
