Lucs Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

Not a place for a date. Although I may have wrongly selected this for a date night

Wonderful experience, meal was beautiful. The view/atmosphere and staff were amazing. Will definitely be returning, would highly recommend.

Perfect spot for lunch above the general market tourist hullabaloo. The appetizer smoked duck salad is a perfect pick me up before hitting the street for the next museum across the bridge.

Really good food . Very busy and a tad noisy

Solid French cooking in a historic venue. Good quality steaks and wines at reasonable prices.

Great venue near the city for a business lunch. Food and wine choice were excellent.

Food was good and a nice busy ambience in the restaurant.. service was attentive

Really great visit to Luc's, really good service and fab food...........

Excellent food as always and very professional service from the entire team

Food is on the whole good, but did feel that my gluten free request (for coeliac disease) wasn't taken entirely seriously by the waiter. Service from one waiter was good, the other less so. Business lunch - party of three ate starters, mains and desserts and were out within 2 hours.

Appetizers very good. The desserts were amazing, but the main course, duck confit, was a disaster: the meat was hard and dry, as if it had been reheated.

Fantastic as always. A special place in the City. Always delicious.

Luc's Brasserie is one of my favourite restaurants in the City. Professional, friendly, excellent food and super choice of wines, and consistent. Thank you Team Luc's!

Beware £1.50 cover charge and 14% service charge will be added to your bill. Food was ok but side dishes way overpriced. Bowl of salad leaves (lettuce) £6.50 3 portions of skinny fries £19.50 a very expensive venue considering the surroundings etc. staff were fine but maybe we would have spent more had the prices not been so gouging. The best way to increase your turnover and profit is by offering great food, service and value. Sadly we felt none of these pity.

I recently dined at Luc’s and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. Jenifer and Giuseppe provided exceptional service, always attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Five stars all around!

Great spot in Leadenhall market. Good food and service. And not loud for evening dinners.

Lucs is an excellent French Brasserie. Less chaotic than some of the Parisian ones and the menu is short but good. There is a varied choice even if you don’t like steaks which I do but my guest and I decided on the veal for the main course with fries coleslaw and beautiful tomato salad it was excellent. We both had starters of sea bass tartare which were delicious. An excellent and reasonably priced wine list. We had a cote du Rhone which was superb and a shared pudding. The staff were very efficient and charming. I will always go back to Luc’s consistently good and the prices are fair for the City of London

Would highly reccomend, lovely food and atmosphere. Location is great being in the beautiful Leadenhall Market.

Excelleynt ambience, great service and delicious food. Exactly what you want! Highly recommended.

Ambience is ok (old but well decorated) and quaint, but contact lens wearers- do not come in the summer as the fans will dry your eyes out (and no they will not move you). Service is also not great- waiters are clumsy / careless (her bracelet was all over my utensils so I had to ask for new ones). Food was edible but not that great, and definitely not worth the price point. Good window-side views of Leadenhall market though.

Good food and service but really loud annoying group by us who were completely drowning out our conversation

L’atmosfera davvero bella, tutti i dettagli curatissimi. Si può mangiare godendo di una vista splendida sul Lendenhall market e tutto ciò che ho ordinato era davvero buono. La differenza l’ha fatta però Giuseppe: il cameriere che ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare, attento, professionale e gentilissimo. Ha insistito per farmi fare nuovamente il caffè perché temeva che si fosse freddato mentre mi ero allontanata per usare i servizi e ha declinato la mia offerta di dargli più mancia affermando che la sua più grande soddisfazione fosse sapere che la mia era stata una bella esperienza! Grazie Giuseppe!

Instead of the steak that I would normally have, I tried the tuna nicoise and it was absolutely delicious! Excellent!

The rosti starter was dry and not very appetising. The main course described as cassoulet was not cassoulet as I know it where the sausage ingredient is cut up and incorporated into the cassoulet, not as it arrived with two whole sausages lying on top of the the other ingredients.

As always. Friendly service and fab simple food served quickly and with no fuss.

Been a number of years since I have been to Luc’s, visited there for a business lunch. Food was delicious and great service. Definitely returning soon.

Great experience, the food and service was excellent, thanks to everyone who made our night wonderful.

Expensive, tables too close together , too noisy , have to walk up too many steps. Food is fine service is good

The staff were brilliant. Everyone was attentative, friendly and efficient. They were a model of how restaurant service should be. And the setting and decor was amazing too. Very French! Highly recommended by my wife and I.

Decent food, good service and excellent atmosphere over a busy lunch period.

Enjoyed the food - although the table was a bit cramped which made it a bit uncomfortable. Will definitely be back though

Amazing place, great food and atmosphere. 5 out of 5.

Steaks are overpriced. I had wing of skate that was overcooked and dry. I asked for some tartare sauce and the waitress brought me tabasco sauce! I explained that I had asked for tartare sauce and she came back and said “2 minutes”, I never did get any tartare sauce for my very overcooked skate wing

A really lovely restaurant, with a great atmosphere. Food was delicious, and could not be faulted. The service was excellent, and we were not rushed at all. A perfect evening all round, and I would highly recommend. Please note: there are quite a few stairs up to the restaurant, and the toilets are down and then up some stairs, so it is not suited for anyone with mobility problems.

good food in amiable surroundings - waitress was new i think so took a while to find her feet and understand our requests

Fantastic food and service was first class and the ambience was excellent and lively

Nice place with great views over Leadenhall Market. Good service and good food. More of a casual lunch place than fancy dinner.

Really love restaurant. Excellent service, lovely food

Always great food and service - you can never go wrong with a visit to Luc's!

The waiting staff were very helpful , there was a vibrant welcoming atmosphere but maybe a little too noisy with the number of large parties in that night. . The food was well presented, we both had the bavette, it was tasty and tender.

Great table, atmosphere just right. Our waiter Guiseppe was excellent. And the food is good!

I came yesterday me and my friends the service was slow and we have take notice that the food is not like befor I didn't like the change disappointed 😕

Great food and service and wonderful location and really good value for money

After over 30 years of being friends and wishing in the city, we went back to this lovely restaurant to catch up. Food was fabulous, service excellent and we had a splendid catch up. As good as it ever was!

Great food and service as always. A little on the noisy side which can make it difficult to hear at times.

Quiet on a Monday lunchtime but fantastic food and service.

Good food and good service. A consistent and pleasant venue.

Nice time here on Valentine’s Day. Great service

Located in the picturesque Leadenhall Market. The food was good, all reasonably priced. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and wine selection. Superb customer service. Really enjoyed my time, crlebrating a special occasion! ❤️

Great service Lovely food and value for money Fantastic atmosphere

Service was very friendly and efficient, food was good as always - especially the onion soup!

Good food , excellent service at a sensible price

Amazing! service. ambience, food. speed of service. quality of food. Business lunch and will come again! Sergio was excellent!

I have been here before and had lovely food. Unfortunately yesterday the food wasn’t up to scratch which was disappointing

Excellent as ever. The popularity means the staff are very busy, but they do their best and the food is quite amazing.

Difficult to review as a restaurant as without warning or explanation and only 3 days before our special meal, the restaurant cancelled our reservation! Tried to email and call to reinstate the booking, and have been ignored! Abysmal customer service and I'd never entertain them in the future regardless of their possible high food offering.

Excellent french brasserie experience in a lovely setting overlooking Leadenhall Market.

Fabulous restaurant in wonderful location with views over Leadenhall market. Excellent côte de bouef especially. Highly recommended.

Excellent meal, service, ambience, I would thoroughly recommend and I will be returning.

Really good food and wine and service. Recommended

We had our work Christmas party here last night, it was absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, service was outstanding. They completely worked around us, and once we were sat down the food service was really prompt and they were always checking in on the whole party and even more so with me as the host. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, and I can't wait to go back. A big thanks to Mo, Giuseppe, Mac & Cebille for making our night totally unforgettable.

I visited Luc’s Brasserie with a large group for a Christmas dinner/party. The food was excellent and the staff were exceptional. Cibele, Peppe and Kevin were especially attentive. They were incredibly friendly and couldn’t have done more for us. I would 100% recommend visiting Luc’s brasserie and will definitely be back!

Service is (and has always been) excellent and having lunch at Luc's is a very comfortable experience. The menu is limited but gives a good spread of choices, and the wine list has all the favourites. We loved the atmosphere and the views of Leadenhall Market from above.

Lovely dinner, couldn't fault it. Excellent service, despite there being a couple of large Christmas parties at the back of the restaurant and we were a group of 5. Quite a lot of steps if you need to use the toilets!

Always reliable - a little piece of France in the City

Wasn't blown away by the food, but the wine list was great and the staff are awesome.

Decent restaurant with good quality food. A little expensive and cramped tables

I have never, ever given a bad review like this in the decades of being a member of OpenTable, but other than the welcome when I arrived, which was lovely, everything else was terrible. My friend and I were firstly sat at a very cramped table. Perhaps that is not surprising in the run-up to Christmas? I ordered the starter of beef tartare (£11.50) and was served five raw slices of meat covered in long white sinew, which I could not cut with a knife nor chew after I'd managed to cut a little off. It should have been chopped into pieces at the very least! I had no option but to send it back due to it being inedible. There was no apology at all. I did get a replacement that was roughly chopped this time, but the white sinew was still evident and there was no seasoning. I had to leave the white sinew parts of the replacement too. I am an expert in beef tartare and this was the worse I've ever had in 40 years. If they are going to serve tartare with cheap cuts of meat with sinew, I suggest they mince it. My chicken main was dry and reheated. The small gravy boat had 1cm of oil floating at the top and what was underneath was tasteless and thin. My friend's sausage cassoulet had tiny beans that looked more like barley and the beans portion was very small. The noise was so terrible from the close tables of fours either side of us, that we couldn't hear ourselves speak; even if we shouted After finishing our wine and leaving part of our main course, we asked for the bill three times before it came. After which we went to another restaurant for a desert, coffee and two brandies each to get over what was a very unpleasant experience all round. Can I say that this was my third time at Luc's but I will never go again.

All good, Great food and service as ever, many thanks again.

It is just the best spot. Everything is good. Most especially the impeccable service.

Good food and service. Enjoyable venue. The only slight drawback is that it does very often gets very noisy and it is not always easy to hear what your lunch companions are saying. Some more fabric to absorb some of the noise would be helpful. That said, I do keep coming back.

Lovely food and my friends were impressed. We changed the numbers, adding one at the last minute and the front of house were unfazed. View of the Christmas tree outside was pretty and the market also - very attractive and a good talking point. I have eaten at Luc’s before and the food was lovely then so ….. 5/5!

We booked again after our first visit in November. We arrived at 8.15pm after our booking was confirmed but was told kitchen was closed. Unacceptable on a Thursday night as Opentable allowed bookings up to 8.30pm

The atmosphere is magic, the food is excellent and the staff is exceptional. I went with a friend to celebrate my birthday and every single member of staff made us feel so welcoming and special. I m really pleased with my experience I would highly recommend it.

Really good as always and I must have been visiting Luc’s for about 25 years which says it all. Thanks as always Luc’s team and see you soon.

Excellent service, waiters both attentive, polite, chatty, food and wine excellent quality and good portions, will definitely return

Lovely location inside Leadenhall Market. Very popular lively brasserie and service was good. Menu choices were good. My disappointment was with the temperature of the food when it came out - not hot enough. My starter had a poached egg and it was clearly cooked before and kept on ice (quite normal) but it had not been re-heated properly. I also had the cassoulet which was warm but not hot. Otherwise a good experience.

Great fun traditional bistro fayre and great service, maybe a bit loud, but not surprising as full restaurant

Lovely restaurant. Good food, service and surroundings but the noise level was too high. I was barely able to hear my guest right opposite me

Very courteous and friendly staff who were very attentive.

The best restaurant in The City 10 out of 10 I have been dining here for at least 30 years NOWHERE BETTER !!!

The food was delicous. I ate the Tuna steak salad and chocolate mousse for dessert. Both great the service was fantastic and the ambience great albeit very noisy at lunch.

Mixed feedback. Having chosen Luc's for convenience and knowing the food is consistently good, mid week its also VERY popular. My recommendation is that if you are hoping to spend time with a client and be able to hear what is being said easily, then choose Luc's on a Friday. I found the tables to be crammed together to understandably make the most of the feast of bookings prevalent for mid week lunchtimes in the City. However, much of the ambience of setting and location, and attention to service, has been lost in the cacophony of sound.

The restaurant was very busy as usual and service was good. Whilst the food was good, the side tomato salad was poor and not adequate for 2 persons given that the main only came with fries and a cooked tomato.

Lovely venue with food to match and good value too.

Lovely place and amazing atmosphere. Great service from Cristina who was super bubbly and helpful. Fast service as well.

The low quality of the food, service and even wine here is baffling. Ordered 2 steaks and 1 appetiser. All 3 dishes were bland and cold. One steak was undercooked while the other was over. The sauces were also bland and tasted old. The fries came with a thread. The wine tasted like it was opened the week before. The servers never smiled. One of the wine glasses had 2 cracks. My table had no salt. Is this enough?

Went here for dinner with my daughter who was in London on business. Hasn’t been here before but we’re very to have found it. Super entrecôte steak, cooked perfectly, delicious French onion soup and cassoulet and the most divine creme brulee, served with delicious glass or two of brouilly. The service was so friendly and welcoming, an especial shout to Guiseppe from Palermo and his Greek colleague from Thessaloniki who were utterly charming. Will def go again.

Really lovely restaurant - airy and bright - with top quality french brasserie food and professional service. Nice for a City luncheon and lovely atmosphere - not stuffy! Only be warned - it is spectacularly noisy! Not really possible to have a serious business conversation!

Loved this place, old school city is still alive and kicking. Great food, great service and great atmosphere, will be back soon!

The waiters were great, very helpful and attentive.

Always accommodating, great service with style and the food was lovely, impressed my clients :-)

A good meal as always here - staff were helpful and friendly…

I don't know why we haven't been here for a while. Everything, absolutely everything was fantastic. We asked for two separate dishes from the lunchtime menu and these were readily provided. We won't take so long to return next time. Top mention goes to the confit duck.

Fantastic lunch and outstanding service as usual in Luc’s. Would recommend and hope to return soon.

I don't enjoy posting negative reviews but Lucs really needs some changes. Beautiful setting with a view over leadenhall market with pleasant decor means this place has a lot of potential. Staff were delightful once they engaged but took about half an hour until they took our drink order despite only one other table and two people working. Entrecôte was £29.95 but limited flavour and slightly over cooked vs request. Peppercorn sauce was very soapy tasting so I couldn't eat it and came with a skin on / tepid. Wine was tasty (Pinot noir carafe) and fries were pleasant but not as good as most French restaurants - liked the green beans with onions. Friend ordered fish cake £18.95 without fries (painfully expensive for a fish that is half potato), which wasn't well presented and was again missing the good flavour and quality you'd expect for the price. Nothing was said when she ordered a side of spinach when it already came with spinach.

Beautiful space and were seated at a table by the window overlooking Leadenhall Market

Friendly, professional staff and delicious food. Will definitely come back.
