I have been to Les Deux Salons few times already and I was never disappointed, very good food and service.

Excellent service. Fine quality food and wine . Would recommend . Price from midrange up.location is excellent.

Siempre disfrute de este lugar y es uno de los tres mejores opciones cuando se trata de cenar antes de ir al teatro en el West End. La comida es deliciosa y simple al mismo tiempo, dando que casero sabor y sentir; hay algunos rincones acogedores puedes conseguir sentado en si llegas suficientemente temprano y el personal es muy acogedor y atento. Se pone concurrida en horas punta tarde, que podía ser desagradable, pero en cualquier caso lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Vine aquí para tomar un cóctel antes de salir a cenar. El lugar estaba vacío, pero aún así nos preguntamos a sentarse al lado de la puerta. Las bebidas estaban bien, pero caro y el lugar carecía de cualquier llamamiento o ambiente.

Hemos usado este restaurante por un número de años pero creo que ha cambiado de dueño durante ese período. Nos tomó un amigo allí para el almuerzo el 19/ 4/ 17. Pedimos 3 copas de champán mientras estudian el menú. Cuando llegó la factura nos horrorizamos al costo de £45 para Veuve Clicquot 3 copas de. No nos habían ofrecido una lista de vinos que sin duda no han elegido el champán más caro, ni había en cuenta esto es lo que trajo la camarera. Qué estafa! A ese precio, lo mínimo que podría haber hecho habría sido para ofrecer algún tipo de 'amuse bouche-' o un plato de canapés.

Fui a Les Deux Salones el miércoles 26 de abril para el almuerzo, como parte de un grupo de 10. Pedí el bass de piedra. Cuando recibí el plato, que venía como un espesor de peces, fue muy mal poco hecha. Los bordes eran apenas cocinada, pero la gran mayoría de no fue - fue jellyish, mojados y sin cocer. Comprensiblemente no comer. No enviar de vuelta (aunque en retrospectiva, me hubiese gustado) porque estaba con un cliente importante y no quería armar un escándalo. El chef tenía una cosa que hacer - su trabajo - que implicó cocinar el pescado. Él fracasado rotundamente. Sumado a esto, el 'frites' sirve a por lo menos cuatro de nuestro grupo (como yo) estaban cocidas. Cómo irónica. No hace falta decir que mi empresa no será con Les Deux Salones de nuevo. Nota a la gerencia les deux salones - emplear un chef que puede cocinar. Espantosa.

No puedo comentar sobre la comida, fuimos aquí una copa después del concierto antes de encontrarse con un miembro del coro de eno. Eficiente, agradable, acogedor, buen gin. . . Pero los precios de Londres tome el borde de las cosas. Después de las críticas de la comida estoy tentado a probar la próxima vez que esté en la ciudad se aseguró tener he allanó mi alcancía de antemano.

Stylish but unpretentious French restaurant near the foot of St Martin's Lane. Interesting but not large menu, all very well prepared. Ideal for a supper before the theatre.

Good location in theatre-land. Agree with other reviewers re variable service and ambience but I invariably have oysters followed by andouillettes and cannot fault the cuisine.

Tuvimos una comida aquí la semana pasada, después de ir al teatro. La comida era muy buena y el servicio excelente. Mi marido pidió terneros hígado para su plato principal y dijo que era el mejor que había tenido el hígado. El camarero era Nello y él fue muy profesional y educado. Él mantuvo nuestras bebidas recargarla y registramos todo estaba bien con cada campo de una forma amable. Tenemos comimos aquí antes y tuvimos una cena maravillosa en esa ocasión. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaría el restaurante a amigos y familiares.

We booked an early pre- theatre dinner and when we arrived the brasserie was empty. We had quite a long wait before we were attended to - somewhat isolated in our corner table - the place soon filled up and then service got even slower.We ordered one course - delicious calves liver with smoked bacon, quite the best we've enjoyed for some time, coffee and the bill took ages to arrive so it took the gloss off what should have been a relaxing occasion. On a good day this place has a real French feel about it but not this time.

After the opera date night at the London Coliseum, decided on one final drink for the night Nice looking place with Parisian feel to it, polite service Would definitely return to try the food

Celebrated my husband's birthday here. Fabulous food just around the corner from the English National Opera. Dover sole was fantastic. Desserts to die for. Not very complicated cooking but everything delicious. Service is pleasant but not equal to the food.

The restaurant was VERY large and empty.The lighting was horrendous. The service was poor. The ambience was awful. The food was okay.I had a very expensive dover sole. It came with half a lemon which was good as I usually have to ask for extra lemon....but there was no gauze over the lemon so every time I had to clear my fish of all the lemon pips before I could eat it.I seemed like a dying restaurant. I am in the area quite often so will look in to see if it ever gets busy.

We had a family reunion here last year & tried to repeat it. Whilst we had a great table in a private raised area the service was poor & we were all persuaded unnecessarily to order side orders. 14 sides appeared, some were cold but ALL were not needed. We felt ripped off. What a shame.

Somewhat French cuisine in ok functional setting. We opted for a couple of starters and one main and were charged for large portions. The smoked salmon and steak tartar were excellent, the grilled steak was tasty but not tender. Good selection of affordable wines by the glass, carafe or bottle. The wait staff is professional and made sure our orders came quickly since we were on our way to a show

I have been coming here for years. There was a change of ownership a few years ago and the food is not quite as good as before, but still ok. It's a great location and the restaurant is very appealing and very large. Great for groups of friends.

Came for pre-theatre supper last Friday. A little chaotic (they may have been one chef down). Food and ambience excellent but service a bit on the slow side (so much so that my dessert came after we had paid the bill and were getting up to leave). Still love it though!

Booked for 6pm on a Saturday. Shown promptly to our table of 6 that had plenty of room for us all. We only had time for a main course and it varied from steaks, chicken to a vegetarian croque. Portion size good - frites nice and thin and side orders of vegetables enough for a couple of people. Everyone enjoyed their food.Nice atmosphere, staff friendly and would book again.

Had a great meal from good value 2 or 3 course menu. Typical French style brasserie right near Trafalgar Square. I had fish, very tasty and nicely served. Restaurant had a nice, buzzy atmosphere but still not too loud. Would go here again.

O restaurante é muito aconchegante, garçons educados e receptivos. A comida é muito bem preparada e saborosa, comi o Blanquette du Veau que impressionou desde a apresentação, o sabor da carne estava sensacional! Vinho Francês delicioso. Detalhe para o banheiro femenino que é um charme!

Post theatre dinner at this Bistro which was pre-booked. Website info stated last orders to be 11.30pm but on arrival was told it was 10.30pm however we will have orders taken.Atmosphere was a great disappointment! The music was too loud and neither the waitress nor we could hear each other. Too much echo and loud for a place that probably had only 10% of its seats occupied. I dread to think how bad this can be with a fuller capacity. The charm and ambience of a French Bistro is missing - very disappointing .Ordered Rock oyster and steak tartare - Oysters were not the best and at a price which should be much better quality. Steak tartare was disappointing and did not taste as fresh as it should be. It tasted as if it has been left marinated in the fridge for some time. Same again the main course. Ordered Frite Moules and sauce was bland and too creamy. No finger bowl brought to the table after asking a couple of times. Service was bearable and staff require more training.

We wanted a quick pre theatre dinner. We enjoyed a well cooked and well prepared dinner - nice soup - very fresh fish - well seasoned, goof flavours, and nicely presented. The service seemed slightly under confident - needed to be a little more snappy and slick - but generally was a pleasant experience. Not too busy and noisy which was a nice change for this area.

Had a really nice lunch in this French style restaurant with an excellent bottle of Claret.Food was relaibly good but cant comment on the price much as was not paying. There is a good set menu and as long as you dont go mad on the wine list reasonable value.

Authentic French atmosphere. The food was really very good and the service also very friendly and professional. Although there are many French restaurants in London I think you should give it a try and I am sure you will not regret.

3 of us went prior to going to the Opera at the Coloseum . The atmosphere is buzzy and business like , service was helpful and pleasent. Not particularly cheap but interesting food and wine. Bread good too.

We were a family of four dining before a theatre performance. We all ordered entrecôte steak. The meat was chewy, fatty and particularly over priced at £28. The frites which accompanied the steak were cold. When raised with the staff, they were unstintingly polite and charming and offered to replace it immediately. The replacement fish and spinach was lovely.The ambience was fine but nothing special, and the upstairs area was temporarily closed for refurbishment. Our overall experience was that it was over priced and would not choose to dine here again.

We dined early, before going to a show. The ambience was nice, and the staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was excellent - cooked to perfection, and just the right size servings for our main courses. The wines are a bit pricy, but for central London this restaurant provides excellent value, giving a far better experience than many of the fast-food or bistro-style alternatives. I think it would be worth going for a full dinner (not pre-show) - and we intend to try that soon.

My background is in Food Studies and I have been trying restaurants in London almost every week since I arrived. I feel quite disappointed most of the time because there is a lot of emphasis on marketing strategies and less emphasis on food, what seems to me to be the very essence of a restaurant. For the second time, I was touched by the food. The confit du canard was extraordinary; the combination with the red cabbage was really harmonious. On the other hand, the tart tatin was the best I have ever tried. I was so immersed in eating it that I had the feeling that I was just the tart and me in the world. At least for a moment. The restaurant was not full and I don't understand why. I really encourage people to go.

Very simple - overpriced drinks, average food and average service. Would not recommend to anyone.

Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Amine yesterday evening. You guys were super busy, the restaurant was at capacity, and he was fantastic! perfect display, thanks again Amine for this amazing evening. surely will be back. Well done!

Conran has succeeded in his wish to bring a bit of Paris to London.Bit overpriced, but very good.The French staff were superb.

Modest choice for two course pre theatre. Could have sworn we saw three course option posted days earlier during the week. Cauliflower soup with truffle oil was vert good. Delicious bread and refill on tasty butter. Plaice was also good but my husband struggled with the bones. He said it was worth it. We had very good hand cut fries or he would have still been hungry. Initial service was quite rushed which was unnecessary as there were plenty of tables available.

We very much enjoyed our meal last night. We often come to London but only just discovered Les Deux Salons. We were given a lot of attention by the French waiter from the Vendée (I am from that part of France too). We shared a delicious and copious pissaladière and then my husband enjoyed cod in chorizo sauce and I duck leg with red cabbage. We then shared a good plate of cheese. The wines Viognier and Cote du Rhône were excellent too and good quality for the price. A perfect meal!

We had drinks in the bar first which is not very cosy and has quite naff old style Frencn bistro chairs. The champagne cocktail had an overlarge strip of lemon peel and wasn't as good as Christophers on the other side of Covent Garden - my friend said that her Cosmo wasnt up to much eitherI do also think it is a bit steep to charge 4.50 for a bowl of olives - which weren't even that nice and swimming in brineWe had a steak tartare to start with was very good and main courses were good so could not fault the food. The tarte tatin was also good - but definitely for 4 to share not 2In general the food was good, but I found the place overpriced and probably would not return when there are so many other restaurants close by

The service was excelent, our waitress was polite and helpfull with the menu. THe food was good but not as good as we expected.

We hebben hier enkel een koffie gedronken om 11u toen ze opendeden, dus over eten kunnen we niets zeggen. Het personeel was al zeker vriendelijk en als je niet beter weet zou je zo denken dat je in Parijs bent - vrij typisch Frans ingericht. Wil ik wel eens opnieuw proberen voor een maaltijd!

As soon as we were seated, we were handed the menus and in a few minutes the waitress came back and asked us to order. When we said we were not ready, she asked us to order pre dinner drinks. At this stage we were the only people in the restaurant, so we could not see what the rush was. In fact the restaurant never got full.When poring out red wine for one of us, about half a glass was spilt on the table cloth which was then covered by a napkin. The starters were ok, but nothing was as described on the menu, but at least they were edible. The mains all arrived tepid warm, including the chips. I asked for medium rare steak, but it was raw. I tried eating it, but could not even cut it and the beans were over cooked.Eventually I had to point out the fact that I was unable to eat the steak. The waitress took it back to the kitchen. By the time it came back, the accompaniments were stone cold and the rest of the table had finished their meal, so I felt uncomfortable eating on my own, being watched and waited upon.The desserts were edible, but nothing special. All in all it was not a pleasant meal and will definitely not return, nor will I recommend it.

Following a recent repeat visit, I must second my fellow reviewers' statement that new management has rather spoilt this handy little place near Trafalgar Sq.. It is not good at all and has lost its old charm and appeal... what a pity. Food now ranges from generic to uninspired. A pity as there is still so little around here...

cold steaks was waiting for the drinks a long time i think we picked a terrible day to watch theatre in the west end awful pre theatre exprience

Buzzy downstairs, not many upstairs. Service pleasant/efficient but main course arrived for 2 of us 'lukewarm'. Chips were lukewarm also. Food average for the high prices charged, The coup de gras was the 'accidental' overcharging of an extra bottle of wine we clearly did not have. This happens too often in my mind at restaurants.

We ate in the upstairs restaurant here on a Saturday night, and when we arrived the downstairs was full to overflowing. But upstairs was very quiet. We felt rushed to order, got our starters quickly, then everything ground to a halt, long delays and the main courses were either not very warm or not cooked as ordered. Desserts were very large but only ok. Overall we were very disappointed having read the reviews. Most dishes were acceptable, but not very interesting and there was nothing to make me want to return. Service was also not very good.So maybe just the kitchen was overextended? But doesnt explain everything.

I have been here twice now, once with family and this occasion was with a client for work and both times the meals have been wonderful. Service is always exemplary and the food cooked to perfection. With it being so close to Charing Cross and the Theatres it is ideal for anyone looking for a nice meal who is in the very centre of London. You can then choose from the main restaurant for a little more fine dining or the Bistro for lunch. One thing I do struggle with is understanding the menu but then again I should learn to read French better I guess.

We had a table for 6 mid afternoon and there were more staff than customers none the less I didn't expect staff to be laying places on our table while we were eating!It's obvious that some food is precooked and warmed up rather than cooked fresh which is disappointing for the prices they charge. I had the Prix Fixe menu with a main course of Toulouse sausage, lentils and cabbage which was to die for, however the ravioli starter and Creme Brûlée pudding were both 'warmed dishes' and as such very dry and very poor.Despite the fantastic Sausage I won't be going back here....

Another very good restaurant just off Trafalgar Square. A real French ambience, delicious food and very good service. A bistro downstairs, and above a more formal restaurant. Reasonable prices. Quiet enough to talk without shouting. It was not busy when I visited and plan to go back in the Spring and take some friends.

Almost every time I am in London I spend a visit to Les Deux Salons. I prefer the ground floor brasserie-style restaurant. On my last visit here on 6th December 2016 I chose the "Planche de charcuterie" for 15.00 Pounds as a starter, followed by the "Entrecote frites, béarnaise" for 28.00 Pounds. Both were very "french" and well tasting. I would have loved to finish the dinner with one of the nice desserts or cheese but as I had the Planche de charcuterie just for me I just couldn't eat more that night. As wine I chose the Chablis Vieilles Vignes for 43.00 Pounds, a very good wine. The service by my French waiter was very friendly and efficient. The fact that my order and the general conversation between us was in French probably helped. There are of course many French restaurants in London but Les Deux Salons is in my view one of the best.

Menu was endive, celeriac and walnut salad in roquefort dressing followed by sausages and lentils or salmon.Salad entirely lacked walnuts and almost entirely lacked dressing - we had to ask for both to be added. We were not impressed.Main courses OK but not top rate.Staff were friendly but the meal lacked the style and eye appeal of dishes we ate here before the restaurant changed hands about 2 years ago. The cheapness of the £18.00 prix fixe meal was offset by very pricy glasses of wine and coffee so that the meal for two ultimately came to over £70.00. Really not worth that.

I had been there many years ago and one night decided to go back. Good service, not too busy, ordered fish which was really good. starter with chicken liver which was also what i expected.

Eat on New Year's Eve normal prices very freindly waiter very good food authentic fish soup with all the trimmings steak and duck for mains lovely plum tart very good Malbac to drink this was old fashioned French food at its best highly recommended

Dîner après spectacle vers 22h. Très bon accueil. Un un jeune serveur français (de Metz) charmant et efficace. Du bon pain. Des vins corrects à prix corrects. Des plats fins, bien exécutés. Une jolie salle. Dommage nous n'avions pas de cash (enfin si 3 piécettes et ça n'aurait pas eu de sens) et si nous laissions un TIP avec la CB ce n'est pas le serveur mais le restaurant qui l'aurait eu. Désolés pour lui. Nous reviendrons.

As an early lunch booking 12 pm on a cold December the brasserie was very cold. All the customers had coats on and the staff seemed unable to turn the heating on until it was too late. Waiters focus seemed to be on each other rather than the tables which were neglected. They were unaware of the menu and had to check on everything. Terrible atmosphere as a result and did not feel welcoming. Food on the other hand was very good when it arrived would recommend the black pudding. Portion sizes were pretty good though on the expensive side. The poor service let it down and felt bad value as a result. If you get it on a good day maybe it will be more enjoyable. We won't be going back though.

I came here for a pre-theatre dinner as it was just around the corner from the Coliseum. The two course set menu was delicious and very filling so sadly I didn't have room for a dessert. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant also has a small shop area selling French delicacies (a lot of things in jars) and chocolates from Maxims.

Lovely ambiance, outstanding service (special mention to our fabulous waitress Amire and host Roula). Food was delicious! Will be back soon.

To say that this was the worst meal of my entire life is no exaggeration. We rushed in after a show as it was raining and I'm sure this is the only reason people would return! Hot food was cold, expensive, wrong meal served, returned food twice and was worse every time! 50% knocked off the bill, we should have been given money to come in the place. TOURIST TRAP !! Then they tried to charge a service charge ! To be fair the waiter seemed as horrified as we were with the food and righty removed the SC. Please save your money and just go for drinks !

My friend and I dine here often when we're in the area. It feels like you've stepped into a mid-20th century Parisienne salon - lovely! As neither of us eat meat we often just order the sides and are always accommodated. The cocktails are gorgeous too. The last time we were waited on by Coco, who was professional and attentive and was overseen by the Head of service (?) Amine who was also friendly and professional. I recommend!

Service très agréable et professionnel. La qualité des produits est au rendez-vous ainsi que les précieux conseils des employés. Je le conseille vivement. Servizio al top. Professionnale e di alta qualita. I prodoti serviti erano una favola. Da non perdre.

Went for a meal after a concert. We were served by Nello who was under training. He was so charming. The food was very nice and nothing was too much trouble. Nello was very attentive without being overpowering. We had a lovely evening and would definitely return.

The ambience is very nice. Food is ok, should be better for the money. The wine list is good. The staff are unobtrusive, they do just enough so as not to appear rude.I am not disappointed but won`t visit again.

I met some friends for a quick after work dinner. On arrival I waited a few minutes or the maître d' to see me and show me to the table. We enjoyed a glass of champagne and went straight in with a main course. I had the bavette steak, which was a big portion, nice but a little chewy (I should have known that, I always have fillet). It came with a jus and frites and I ordered a slide of green beans. The atmosphere was buzzy but the lay out of the tables was not great. We were downstairs in the left-hand corner and there is a pillar which prevents the access to 2 tables so the waiter was having to shuffle past us to get to the tables. One of the girls eventually moved so we made some space but ideally they would remove our table from the dining room. £45 each for a glass of fizz and a main course and mint tea is not bad, in central London but I've had better...

Extremely rude staff. The snacks and the drinks were average. Please go anywhere else but here. Sucked all Christmas spirit from us. Awful.

We were here with friends for the first time for a pre ballet supper.Very good atmosphere and ambiance and the senior staff are charming.Food decent and presented in a timely manner as we were on a deadline.Wine sensibly priced.

Vi gick hit en lördag kväll och hade inga specifika förväntningar. Vi blev positivt överraskade av den rakt igenom goda och vällagade maten. Vi åt fisk med tryffelmos som var jättegod. Till efterrätt åt vi en tart tatin för två (men det var snarare för fyra) och den var den godaste jag ätit. Vi har ätit många varianter av tart tatin, i Frankrike inkluderat, men den här tog priset. Även trevlig och proffsig personal i en avslappnad bistromiljö. Vi kommer tillbaka.

I remember going to this place when it first opened and had very mixed feelings about it - it was very hit and miss. However, needing somewhere to meet with a friend I thought why mot try it again. Definitely a hit this time! We were there early in the evening so it was relatively quiet (I have been past the place at other times and it has been absolutely bursting at the seams despite being spread over a couple of floors). Both food and service were excellent. My liver was done just as I like it, my friend's steak was judged very good. I will definitely try here again - let's hope it wasn't a case of pot luck!

Lovely location and great service. Very decent range of drinks and average price for location. Food looked good although we didn't eat. French Malbec was great

Just by coincidence, my daughter and I were suppose to a tapas resto across but it was full so decided to try Les Deux Salons. Good Food and wine . Staff were very professional, know what they're doing . Pricey, you get what you pay for..

I've been to this restaurant many times and have always enjoyed the food, ambience and service. Last night I had the steak tartare followed by the chicory, Roquefort and pear salad. Both were excellent. My guest had the steak bavette with fries which was "melt in the mouth". With a bottle of good Pinot Noir and service it came to £78. (Good value for the standard of cooking and surroundings in this part of London.)

Over-priced, menu problems, lack of clarity about everything. A group of 20 of us booked in advance. The first waiter did not know we had booked a table. Then we were given menus with NO prices on them as in NO prices whatsoever against any of the dishes listed. Then we asked for the prices and they photocopied one small piece of paper for us to pass round. Then they gave us the fixed price menu (not offered when we booked) which is about 50% less than the (over) priced menu, only to be told that one of the two main meals offered (fish) was not available. Chef says 'not enough fish' in the kitchen we are told. The wine (ordinary) was £27 a bottle, the restaurant manager picked his nose and then touched the bread. It was all horrible. The main courses were expensive and any vegetables were extra-£5-£6 per portion. For each of us it cost close to £50 per person. Individual staff pleasant enough. We spent some £800 + and did not feel that we were valued customers.

2 soups, 1 lamb, 1 skate, 1 gratin dauphinois, 1 small glass of white wine.The soups were good; the lamb average; the skate was barely warm.The bill was £64.The serving staff were pleasant - but the kitchen is letting them down. Even by central London prices the cost of this food was not justifiable.The place is big and rather noisy from the washing up area behind a glass panel. The lighting is dim and the eating areas are decorated in the bistro-type style - OK but a bit hackneyed.2 of us ate at 1.30 mid-week. We kept the meal small when we saw the prices. We told the server the skate was cold. She said she would tell the kitchen.The kitchen management needs replacement. We don't mind being charged high prices - but only if the food matches them. It didn't.

It was my second time here, I enjoyed it last time when on business and this time took my wife with me. The welcome from the blonde receptionist was frosty, it was 2/3 full and she took us to the worst table in the restaurant - the draughty one nearest to the toilets on the upper floor. I asked to be moved and we had a slightly better table. My wife had the Pissadelierre - salty and greasy followed by chicken. I had the bavette and chips which was OK. The waiter and waitresses did try hard. It is a Michelin listed restaurant but I couldn't understand why. I will not visit again.

We booked a table at Les Deux Salons on the recommendation of friends. To precede a performance of the Pearl Fishers at the Coliseum we wanted a decent meal at a time and of a duration that would fit with the opera start time. We arrived a little early and were immediately shown to our table where we had to wait a short while for someone to come and take our drinks order. We had elderly relatives with us, who preferred a hot drink, so we all had coffee apart from my partner who ordered water, specifying sparkling. The drinks arrives a little later, my partner got still water but as the drinks waiter also brought a bottle of sparkling water (also strangely in a bottle labelled still water) that was soon rectified. We then proceeded to order, three of us choosing the lamb, my partner ordering the monk fish. When the food arrived the monkfish was luke warm, my lamb completely failed to appear; the waiter said he'd pressed the wrong button and mine would take 10 or 12 more minutes. However he brought all the sides, which I decided to eat to avoid them going cold. The sides were very expensive - the portions small - the carrot serving probably consisted of just one root. In the interests of fairness I should say the food was delicious when it came. However before we'd finished, the waitress started clearing away plates, reaching across people and rather disrupting our conversation and enjoyment. We decided on a desert, which were very disappointing. I ordered the chocolate mouse, expecting it to be light, fresh and tasty. What arrived was more akin to solid, fudge like balls of sickly and rather unpleasant chocolate flavoured fudge. We again experienced the rather inept table service before requesting the bill, to which service was automatically included. This was by far the worst part of the experience. £199 for a two course meal for 4 people, with no alcoholic drinks, even at London prices, is ludicrously expensive. We shan't be going again.

Был в ресторане на деловом ужине. Все приятно и разумно. Кухня хорошая, выбор вина неплохой, интерьер классический

In Le Deux Salons we had the best gnocchi in our lives! Also, apple tart dessert was amazing as well as bottle of sauvignon blanc. We will definitely come again!

we chose this place as it was near the theatre where we were going for a show, convenience for all parties involved.your classical bistro à la francaise, the fare is nothing to write about, just so you don't go hungry ..............what is pathetic is the sevicing personnels were at loggerheads among them.........there was just something 'bad' in the air. Al least at Mcdon , it is self service and will be much cheaper !!

Nice, efficient staff, good food, intimate atmosphere and no loud music.Great for an evening with friends.Thank you.

I ate here on a Monday night with a group of friends. I made the mistake of choosing the mussels. I left several mussels as they had not opened during cooking, but assumed all was well... until 5am the next morning when I awoke to stomach cramps and unpleasant toilet activity... this lasted over 24hrs, not great when you're in a training course for work!Other people in my group were not affected as they had steak, perhaps I should have stuck with the steak too!Won't be returning in a hurry!

We visited Les Deux Salons because our usual haunt - the American Bar at the ENO - was taken over with a party. We were hugely impressed particularly with the quality of the two course prix fixe menu which was superb. I had a salad with Roquefort, apple, chicory and walnuts, followed by a daube de boeuf, both very good and very memorable. My wife greatly enjoyed the pumpkin soup though - and this was the only drawback - there was no vegetarian option so she had to choose the gnocchi & wild mushrooms in a cream sauce off the a la carte menu, which were truly excellent.Quantities were substantial too - particularly for the gnocchi.Just a small charge is made for all-you-can-drink sparkling water which is so nice. (As it was a no-drinking day for us, we cannot report on the wine list).There does not seem to be a great choice for vegetarians unfortunately so perhaps that is a weakness in the restaurant, however that apart we would wholeheartedly recommend it as somewhere with reasonable prices in the middle of the West End, with good, attentive, service.

We were visiting Canada House, a magnificent building on Trafalgar Square and decided to hunt for a restaurant nearby. We chanced upon this bistro barely a block away. The first surprise was the authenticity of the French style and decor. The second surprise was the quality of the food. We both had fish, which is often a test for the kitchen, and our entrees were delicious as was the plum tart. It was a Thursday evening and both levels were reasonably full but the layout made it feel spacious and not noisy. It is now our reserve choice if out and about in the immediate area.

Diner d'affaires à six hier soir - même après le Brexit, un mélange de nationalités (3 américains, une serbe, un français et même une anglaise). Nous étions à l'étage, garantie de calme. Service très attentif, carte excellente.

I kiked it very much. A real french bistrot touch. Meaning there is not much space, but then everything fits together. Steak tartare was delicious, but salats as well.

I must have walked past this restaurant many times on my many trips to the west end theatres and galleries but have never gone in for a meal, until now. It has an austere street presence which does not do it justice. I went there with friends for a Saturday lunch after visiting an exhibition at the National Gallery. The service was excellent and we had an extremely enjoyable time. I had onion soup, which was delicious, followed by bavette steak and fries, which was one of the best in London. Often these steaks are paper thin, but this was a good thick piece of steak, well cooked and very filling for lunchtime, such that I could not manage a dessert. The waiter was helpful with wine recommendations and. although the restaurant was slightly expensive, we enjoyed the meal. .

Stumbled on this place by accident, there were several pubs on the same block but they were very crowded and noisy so we saw this place and were pleasantly surprised. Quiet and comfortable, drinks were good and reasonable. The staff was attentive and very pleasant. We did not have any food but only because we had a late lunch and were not hungry but the food I saw looked very good and if I were ever in the area again I would definitely make a point of returning. Again the staff were some of the most pleasant and helpful I have encountered on my travels. Management has done a great job with their training and hiring practices.

We arrived shortly after midday to an empty restaurant - no problem there - we were early. Extremely efficient staff, bread, water, menus all within seconds. Order taken well and promptly with wine arriving almost immediately followed by the first courses pretty quickly. Sadly, the 'French' Soupe de Poissons was far, far, too thick, the spoon could almost stand up in it by itself. The accompaniments were good. By that time the restaurant was fairly busy and then we witnessed the service deteriorating dramatically with staff mixing up orders, wine bottles not being served etc despite there being a lot of staff. On that point, I didn't detect a single French staff member in the restaurant. The main courses were Moules Frites and whilst the Moules and Frite were fine, the sauce was uninspiring to say the least! My wife's Endive salad was good. The Tarte au Citron was also ok but probably factory made.Altogether, very disappointing for a restaurant purporting to be truly French!

We were slightly disappointed because online comments had raised our expectations to a level above what we actually experienced. This is a pleasant French restaurant with an agreeable ambience and good food. However, there are several other equally good restaurants in theatreland. This one will be added to our list and I expect that we will return from time to time.

I have visited this great restaurant with my partner on our trip to UK and wished to enjoy some nice time having a dinner at the centre of London. Our choice was random, we just liked this place, it caught our eyes walking pass. We didn't have a reservation but tried. No regrets at all! What's a good luck! A lovely and very nice receptionist (I remember her name was Jana) willingly checked available table and sat us there immediately despite the restaurant seemed to be very busy at that time. She even took our orders of drinks and managed them to be served within few minutes. Following dinner was just delicious, other waiting staff was the same way sweet and professional, I can only dearly recommend to everyone to visit this pleasant place and spend such a good time as we did.

We've been here many times before, but this is the first under the new owners. Glad to see much hasn't changed. The trad French menu is just that; traditional. But still good. My only criticism is that the prices have gone up. Hope they are not using the Pound/Euro exchange rate and le Brexit as an excuse! Will still keep going.

I was made to feel very special as it was my birthday. A warm welcome followed by great service from not only our lovely waiter Alex but the Manager Amine was exemplary. We were helped with our order and the attentive service was great. The food is authentic French cuisine with a extensive selections of wines and wide choice of cocktails. This is a real hidden gem. We will be returning. Thank you Amine and the staff of Les Deux Salons.Best Crème Brûlée!

The wife and I decided to take her parents up town for a wonder then dinner. After dinner we decided to finish the evening off by having a few drinks here. Been here several times before where we never encountered any issues and the cocktails are/were delightful. We walked in where we were greeted by a female waitress where we asked for a table for 4. This waitress asked if we were there for dinner or drinks, where my wife responded drinks. We were escorted past the bar when the waitress then suddenly stopped then refused us entry claiming the establishment was full. There were plenty of seating. My wife and I have never felt so humiliated especially as were taking her parents out. We have been here several times and spent a considerable amount of money especially as this isn't a reasonable price establishment. I can say I certainly will NOT ever return here. Nor shall I ever recommend to friends or family. Feeling very annoyed and disgusted. I know we were casually dressed but to treat us in such a poor manner is unbelievable. Clearly this waitress did not like the way we were dressed/looked. Even the waiter looked over and must have wondered why were refused admission. Never again. To think this kind of behaviour is acceptable in today society. We simply walked away and went to Cafe Concerto, where we treated as customers and not like something trodden on at the bottom of your shoe.

Went in for drinks on our way to the theatre. Total bill for drinks was £24 but they added on £3 for service charge. Mostly the service charge was for their grumpy and non engaging persona... be aware...

This is my first review on this website i have to say that the service we had received it was good efficient and the atmosphere had a feeling as you were in paris. The food was tasty, liver was recommended by our waiter didn't catch his name properly im guessing he was from Cyprus , . he made recommendation on the wine which was a malbec and lovely dessert which was the apple pie which was immaculate. would be back next month for friends bday

Les Deux Salons had been one of my favourite places for a quick lunch or pre-theatre dinner but after several visits of declining quality, the most recent visit was I'm afraid the final straw.Starters served quickly but main course took an age (around 45-50 mins) to arrive after starter plates cleared. Had to ask for whereabouts of main course as was in danger of missing matinee performance. When the main course arrived, it was raw in the middle. Staff seemed unable to know what to do about it and behaved poorly. The person claiming to be the manager appeared to be untrained. Clearly there are kitchen issues because another waiter started swearing upon receiving food for another table which had not been cooked to the correct temperature.Sadly, this is now a place to avoid.

Getting a good meal in the centre of London is not always easy. It is often a choice between the exorbitantly expensive or the extraordinarily tacky. Lacklustre chains dominate the area and can leave you feeling a bit depressed.Les Deux Salon is a breath of fresh air. It is a lively and friendly restaurant with a good menu and prices are reasonable.I had a fantastic steak tartare to start and a delicious black pudding with caramelised onions and mash to follow. I could not fault either dish. All of my fellow diners were equally impressed.A good choice for a good meal in the centre of town.

We came here for a light lunch before going to the theatre.It is actually very well placed if you are going to a show.I believe it is newly furbished.The decor is attractive.There is also a very smart restaurant upstairs where I believe that theatre -goers can get special rates.We had a snack but it was delicious and the service was good.Staff were friendly and pleasant.We particularly found that they had a wonderful display of different breads.We sampled some with soup and pate and thoroughly enjoyed them.I would be interested to return for a meal in the restaurant.

Went with a friend to share wine and dinner - great location - just off the Strand - around the corner from Trafalgar Square.Due to chatting too much we only had time for one course - my friend had Moules and myself steak - an ample basket of bread and butter helped soak up swiftly drunk bottle of wine!Food was delicious and very much enjoyed by us both. Interior is stylish and comfortable - staff were efficient and attentive but not overtly so.They do deals for those who have longer to eat.Wine is a little pricey but was none the less thoroughly enjoyed.All in all a very nice interlude pre-theatre.

We come here again and again. Typical Paris bistro, superb food and wine allied with excellent service. Speedy enough for pre-theatre eats and posh enough for a special meal. Great place.

We had an excellent meal last night after attending the rehearsal for The Pearl Fishers at the ENO. The cauliflower soup and the taste tatin were outstanding. There is a two for one deal after 10:15 for post theatre dinner. Upstairs is more formal, the ground floor has a deli and brasserie style seating.

Very good food and not expensive. Staff were top class, attentive and friendly. Would certainly recommend.

We were a group of 10. All food OK - good. We celebrated a birthday and the cake that was served took forever to serve. Apart from that a good experience.

We dined here as a table of two in the upstairs restaurant area on a Saturday evening. The downstairs bistro has an amazing and lively buzz about it, but for our mood and the occasion we were very happy with the upstairs table which offered a little more privacy. The restaurant does a number of things well, the wine waiter was very good, the menu well balanced, suitably French with some dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, and the space (at least upstairs) was spot on and beautifully designed.What left us feeling underwhelmed was:- our waitress lacked any form of energy, enthusiasm or interest in us. Despite being one of only 3 tables by the time the main course was served, we saw next to nothing of her. When choosing from the menu no effort was made to explain items that we expressed uncertainty over, and when we asked why the daily main course 'special' was no longer available, she simply replied that it wasn't! The wine waiter on the other hand (a young gentleman who's name I did not get) was engaging, efficient, and a pleasure to be served by - whilst the food is keenly priced, the drinks are overpriced, switching our final bill of two starters and two main courses, a carafe of white and a cocktail up to the £65 per person mark. Quite a shock given how well priced the food is. I would dine here again, although perhaps not as a first choice. I'd certainly exercise more caution around the drinks menu, and would hopefully end up with better service.

We miss some of the old staff here but recently there are some staff who recognise us and we get a warm welcome, both in the cafe and bistro. Met my husband today with another friend and mentioned it was my birthday and ten minutes later a little tray of sweet treats appeared with Birthday message. Very thoughtful.
