The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in England

This is such an amazing place to go for the prawns! They’re the best prawns we have ever had, highly recommend them. The cocktails are incredible too and it’s dog friendly which is great. Inside is lovely decor and the staff were very helpful and attentive. Our go to place in padstow to eat and highly recommend

Absolutely amazing again! Never ever had a bad meal here, we had the NY chicken and braised steak… extra gravy boat every time. We love how it’s all home cooked, the chips are amazing too.

Ordered for take-away. Nice and attentive service. Fair pricing for quantity but disappointing in quality. Lacked taste/bland. Beef patty had a soap scent more than anything. Came with a generous amount of fries although too salty, undercooked and overcooked oil. Glad did not over order. Restaurant was dark and hygiene was subpar. Won’t repeat. Not recomendable.

Servicio de clase, alas de clase. Muy servicial y me encanta la cerveza casi tanto como nosotros. Necesito llenar 100 caracteres. Gracias

We have just had a brilliant family dinner at The Starter Bar. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble! Our boys both have ADHD, which can make dinners out stressful, but the staff went out of their way to ensure the boys were happy and that we all felt welcome. Staff gave the boys colouring books, sharpened their pencils, chatted about dinosaurs and generally did anything to make them smile. We were relaxed enough to stay for desert, which never happens! All the food was delicious, varied and served piping hot. We definitely recommend the brownie sundae for pudding. The meal and drinks were good value and very tasty. Thank you to the two lovely ladies for giving us a really special evening to remember. Highly recommended.

Great place, I went there years ago when my current wife first came to visit London. The atmosphere was chilled and we hung out in the garden.

Since I’ve ordered I’ve seen people come in, order, get served, finish their food, leave and I still haven’t got my food. Got a starter bout half an hour ago so should be good👍

Gran servicio de Abi, un montón de opciones en el menú y un ambiente encantador, recomiendo encarecidamente los Arancini y Asahi fue bien

An meinem Abreisetag aus London wollte ich mir eine leckeres Sonntagsfrühstück gönnen und steuerte The Pickled Hen an. Nachdem man die Speisekarte neben der Kasse endlich gefunden hatte, bestellte ich ein Full English Breakfast und unter anderem einen Apfelsaft. Die Nachfrage ob ich darin Eis haben möchte, verneinte ich. Keine Minute später kam der Saft, natürlich mit 3 Eiswürfeln darin. Die Bedienung zeigte sofort auf das Märchen an der Theke, aber ich behielt den Saft. Das Full English kam recht zügig aber alles war nur lauwarm. Besonders die vielen Pilze hatten bestenfalls Zimmertemperatur - ich freue mich schon auf meinen Magen auf dem Rückflug. Der griechische Joghurt mit Früchten hatte eher die Konsistenz von geschlagener Sahne. Als dann die Bedienung fragte ob alles in Ordnung sei, bemängelte ich die Temperatur des Essens sofort. Aber zurück kam nur ein gequältes Lächeln. Es scheint also niemanden zu interessieren, kein Angebot es nochmals aufzuwärmen oder Ähnliches. Dafür, dass hier auch noch ein Hotel angeschlossen ist (die Gäste aßen vom Frühstücksbuffet - kann die Qualität daher nicht beurteilen) war es ein absolute Enttäuschung. Nicht nur von der Qualität, sondern auch wie damit umgegangen wird. Ich würde niemamdem empfehlen hier einen Fuß rein zu setzen.

Best dessert in London. We passed by this place by pure accident. In Sweden we love our “fika” ( google it) and since this is a meat restaurant we thought nah they probably won’t serve us coffee and a pastry in an early afternoon. Till this day I still think about the best warm cookie on a frying pan with the soft coffee ice cream. Thank god I don’t live in Uk, I would probably have died happily by clogged arteries from this delicious thing. Will definitely bring my here for the amazing food.

What amazing cottage pie Great service as usual Paulo and his team couldn’t of done more Great choice of wine and great value for money

absolutely shocking customer service. chicken was dry and stone cold. please do not waste your money here! garbage food

We have been regular customers for several years, but will not be ordering from Amara again after our most recent experience. We ordered a takeout (definitely not cheap!), which we were told would take 20 minutes - but in fact took 40 minutes. The food was luke warm and some items were missing (namely the salad and the ‘mixed vegetables’ with the halloumi kebabs). We rang the restaurant several times to try to rectify this (it is only 5 minutes away) but they hung up on us three times. It is very disappointing as we have experienced some excellent food from Amara over the years, but have to agree with other reviewers that this restaurant is going downhill.

Was empty on arrival which was odd? The service was poor and the food was over cooked and the contents of the sea food platter were reduced to scaps compared to our last visit.

My starter onion bhaji were burnt over done & tasted bitter. The mains came hadn’t even finished the starters! The lamb curry was terrible, sorry to say. Total waste of money. I will not be revisiting this restaurant again.
