The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in England

Best new addition to Surrey Quays. Lamb chops and rice was very delicious

Favourite bar with great atmosphere and music. The stockroom is a great venue to see bands.

Acogí una cena de negocios aquí por recomendación de un conocido, y fui con expectativas razonables y de buen humor. Era bastante temprano en una tranquila noche de lunes y normalmente uno podría hacer concesiones para eso, especialmente si es un restaurante informal. Si todos se esfuerzan, instintivamente me resisto a publicar una crítica negativa. Pero no esta vez, la experiencia olía a "no nos importa", y sugiero que en el negocio de la hospitalidad, eso es simplemente inaceptable.

Troppo costoso per la qualità .Dolci pessimi.Abbiamo mangiato cervo/ agnello / sandwich di aragosta , non ricordo esattamente il nome dei dolci.Nessun piatto era all’altezza di un ristorante così famoso

We had the platter for 2. Great food, tasty, the meat was hot and cooked to perfection. Lovely art work around the restaurant, lovely staff, good service and vibrant, light atmosphere.

Good table service. Great tasting food. Group of 8 ordered Super Platter. Very tasty and generous portions. Been here several times and will come again. A. Sheikh (Leicester)

A lot of hype around the restaurant, but unfortunately was more style over substance during our visit. Despite a large number of staff working, long wait be offered a drink at the bar (we were one of 3 couples there as arrived at the start of the evening so not busy). Some other guests clearly disappointed with the location of their table in the middle of the walkway of the staff so would recommend asking for a table by the window. The fish was decent but when you charge £38 for the veal milanese without sides, I was expecting more than it delivered. Overall, for the price, would expect more and a slightly disappointing experience.

The platter was like sourcing pork belly and marinated beef from Sainsbury’s downstairs, reselling for 5X profit, too greedy, too pricy. The music is too loud which ruins atmosphere. Absolute a shame and wouldn’t recommend.

The India Grill delivered an exceptional dining experience! The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly The India Grill Special—it came out sizzling, full of flavour, and left us completely impressed. The Maharaja curry was another standout, offering a rich and unique taste unlike anything we've ever tried before. It had the perfect balance of spices... And the naan? Large, fluffy, and absolutely delicious—perfect for soaking up every bit of the amazing sauces. If you're looking for authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, The India Grill is a must-visit

My colleagues, friends and I always love to go to this restaurant to celebrate birthdays and special occassion. They have good food, however we will not come back again for the CUSTOMER SERVICE that we had. It was my leaving do. I reserved a table and made a deposit for 12 people (£10/person), unfortunately 8 people only arrived as people were sick (we are all nurses from the hospital). Even though we consumed food that was good for 12 people and the restaurant was not as full on that night, they charged us £40 for the people who did not come in and said that it was for the reservation. My colleagues spoke to the manager, who was resistant and argumentative, saying that the deposit cannot be refunded or used for people who did not attend. Hence, they will be keeping it. It was quite a long discussion until one of my senior colleagues spoke to him, and gave back our deposit. The waitresses were rude and not understanding either, after the discussion happened they did not stop badgering me about the deposit. One waitress apologised to her friend’s friend, who is one of my colleagues, however she did not stop talking and staring until I left. I had a wonderful and memorable dinner with my colleagues, however it ended up badly on how we got treated on this restaurant when a problem arised.

I had a fantastic experience at Safire restaurant. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was amazing. They also provided s high chair for my baby, making it a family-friendly spot. Highly recommend!

Quality restaurant one of the best in St Helens, The food is always great quality the staff are always friendly. We are always welcomed with a friendly smile from the owner Fez an when ever he's not busy he will always approach your table once you've finished your food to have a bit of a chat with us. We have been coming this restaurant for many years and will continue to do so.

As a 3 star restaurant in a hotel as distinguished as the Connaught, you can of course expect exceptional food, wine and service. With that comes an exceptional price tag, and this is true of all the 3-star restaurants in the UK. And with so much competition just in London alone, it is the finer detail and service which can set a restaurant apart from all the others. The food was out of this world, and I say this as someone who has been very fortunate to eat at the majority of the 3 star Michelins in the UK - Helene Darroze is at the top of this list. The guinea fowl and the lobster were stand outs for me, but really every course was superb. If you’re a wine enthusiast or appreciate wine pairings, we opted for the ultimate wine experience and have no regrets. The thing about wine pairings is everyone is doing them nowadays and they can be substandard and uninspiring, and given that they’re usually hundreds of pounds it can be a great disappointment when not done right. However, the experience at Helene Darroze was second to none and complimented each course perfectly. The 2015 Chateaux d’Yquem was a stand out for me. There are two other cheaper wine pairing options available. And finally, the service. The team here are the gold standard of hospitality. Kind and thoughtful, friendly and welcoming. We were treated to a tour of the kitchen, the chefs just as smiley and friendly despite being incredibly busy and focused. I made some remarks about the tweezers the chefs use to apply finishing touches, and the next day I had an envelope in my room with a hand written note and some chefs tweezers as a gift. It’s this human and personal touch that makes memories that last a lifetime, so thank you to Lelia the guest services manager who thought to do this, because it was so appreciated. I can’t recommend Helene Darroze enough and especially if you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion.

Always fabulous food. Great staff.

UPDATE: under new management but my review remains the same. The Duchy has always been one of our favourite neighbourhood pubs, for both food and drink. The food is amazing, in particular the Sunday roast. Highly recommended - see you there soon!
