The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Brasserie food

Fell in love with this place when it was nestled in the equestrian center just off Lullington Garth. As we understood at the time, it was owned and operated by Argentinians. The beef - as you would expect - was incredible. Not just cooked one way, or one cut; there was a variety with a distinct 'this is how we do it back home' feel. There was chicken too, but the cuts of pork and different types of pork sausage is what had us telling our friends about El Vaquero. The sides looked and tasted homemade; the beans were a regional recipe from where the owners were originally from. The (Argentinian) passadors were engaging too which added a real South American feel to the whole experience. Sadly, it all ended when EV shut down. However, much to our delight, there would be a new location; a High Street location. We booked as soon as we could which coincided with my birthday. Upon arrival in Whetstone, we saw a great location, nice building but not quite the same atmosphere as it was back in Woodside Park. The biggest disappointment for me was that there were no sausages (well, not of the pork kind) no pork loin, or any kind of pork for that matter. When I asked, one of the waiters intimated that the new owners did not include pork on the menu (for religious reasons). This wasn't a problem, but there was no indication of this at any stage until we asked when the sausages would be coming. Broadly speaking, it's the same concept as the original El Vaquero, a 'meat fest' only no pork or pork products. EDIT: My friends and I visited the original restaurant in Woodside Park on more than one occasion. We were served pork there: loin, sausages and ribs. Pork was taken off the menu when the new owners took over and moved the brand to Whetstone.

Was meeting for a work reunion, 10 of us in the end after a couple of cancellations. Had to pre-pay £10 each, which seemed a little steep. Once arrived and sat, drink orders were taken. Oddly, before getting drinks, our food arrived after we had to pre-order our food. This was about 10 minutes after we sat down. We were an early booking and understand prepping, but the food had clearly been pre-cooked. Chips were hot, but not crispy. Sweet potato ones were very dark in colour, edging on burnt. Mine tasted ok, but one of my friends noted some of hers tasted burnt. They were at least homemade. Burger itself was very underwhelming. What seemed like a bought in patty, bog standard bun, with harissa mayo that was not strong in flavour. Accompanied by a bit of little gem lettuce. All tasted ok, but very basic for the price of £15.95. Overall, most of us were underwhelmed and although not bad, would not be returning. I have no issue paying out for food, but expect good quality and mostly homemade if charging that price. It was not busy and most of us had burgers, so should not have been an issue to prep fresh and allow us to actually sit and relax ahead of eating. Overall just disappointing. Felt like overpriced fast food.

Visited after a recommendation and the food was amazing, will only go here now! I liked that the staff actually have personality and a sense of humour instead of simply taking orders and just giving you the bill, they actually try to speak to you and have a laugh. I think we picked the worst time to go as there was a couple of tables with rowdy people using it as a place to pre drink before they go elsewhere so was a bit noisy but was fine when they finally left. The food was so good I expected the bill to be much more than it was but found the actual total quite reasonable.

Absolutely love it the food is amazing we came from Nottingham it was really worth it and very friendly customer service 10 of 10 definitely recommend it

After a church service called to what was a very busy bar. Asked for a table and was shown to the dining area. The French onion soup was delicious and roasting. The chicken stack was full of chicken breast and two goujons. Again very good and hot. As they say in this part of the world not hard to pay either.

My husband and I visited Aberystwyth to watch our son play football. We had very little time to find anywhere to eat and were happy to find this place with a great outside dining area. We informed the staff that we were kind of in a rush and they took our order immediately. The food came out fairly quickly and so we managed to make the game on time. The staff are extremely friendly and pleasant. Food was great, would definitely recommend. Pity we couldn’t stay for the free desert which was on offer for that day. Maybe next time!

Best grill in the area! Quality, taste and service all on point!

Simply the best pork pie I’ve ever tasted!

Guy behind the bar was surly and really unhelpful. If I hadn't been hungry and stuck in Larkhall I'd have walked out. I asked for a pint of draft bitter. He pointed to the 4 pumps and he said: " why do you think the labels are all turned round? We've got no draft beer!" The picture of the food on their website is a joke because it suggests it serves good food. But it's really only burgers and hot dogs, served on a stupidly small plate. Also there's a 10% 'discretionary' service charge added, but for what exactly? No style, poor service, barman more interested in serving his locals. There's no real competition in Larkhall so it doesn't need to try very hard. Avoid.

Wouldn’t go anywhere else, the best Turkish in Leicester. (There’s a lot!!)

Great food, absolutely perfect food and a heartwarming service. Thank you guys and good luck
