The best restaurants serving French food in Holborn and Covent Garden Camden London

I’ve been wanting to eat at Otto’s for years, given the exceptional reputation of the restaurant - and it was just fantastic. The service, the wine list, the food, the atmosphere, all top notch. Exactly the kind of place you get to as early as possible and proceed to eat everything on the menu until closing time!

Didn’t get a chance to try in Paris, but these were amazing. We tried 6 different flavours and loved them all. I’m not even really a chocolate person but the chocolate ones were perfection. Service was lovely, too.

Un caffè francese, nel cuore di Londra…A due passi dal British Museum. Un apparente paradosso ma che in realtà è perfettamente integrato nel contesto e offre l’occasione di una pausa pranzo o di una merenda davvero gradevole, in un ambiente delizioso.

Whilst the food was good, the waitresses were unpleasant, two of them were quite rude so we felt awkward and on edge for most of the evening. We all live in London and frequent many top restaurants - i am an influencer who often reviews said venues, so it's shame this didn't live up to expectations as the food was very good."

Excellent and authentic food with enough atmosphere for the pre-theatre crowd (which included us). My partner was snapped at for trying to enter the restaurant 10 mins before official opening (the door was open). The red wine choice was unconvincing by the glass - white wine selection by the glass much better. Worth a try if you like French cuisine, though it is a little mixed with no real regional bias, so some French people might not like that and find it a little less authentic. Every single dish we had was great, however, and even the gluten free bread at the beginning was tasty. Recommended.

Ok service and atmosphere great but why did you serve us HALF a tart as a full portion?! I know cost of living crisis but come on for £12 you can at least give us a full tart It was delicious but just very shocked

We booked as a group of 11, and were asked to pre-order the meals. No problem there. Some of us ordered loin of pork- what we received was described on the bill as “roast suckling pig”-it certainly wasn’t loin of pork. Two other meals were ungenerous in quantity; vegetables, listed as part of the dish (rather than sides) were scant. The service and ambience were both positives of the evening, but the food was overpriced.

Great service and waiter Mohawk. Delicious food! Came for dinner and ordered steak with fries and salad perfect meal and quality

One of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. I had to make my order 3 times before they even started to make my order. The service was absolutely abysmal

Went there recently after a break of about a year and found it quite disappointing. Seems they are now only doing carboard cups, and paper napkins for plates. Cake range seems to have decreased. I used to quite enjoy visiting this place before lockdown as it had a nice atmosphere and quality service, even if it was a little more expensive, Now its like going into a Starbucks or Costa. I think they had better try to improve things pretty quick or their loyal customers will find somewhere else to go.

Very disappointed with the quality of the food pizza base very soggy and vegetable lasagne obviously frozen. Waiter was very apologetic and took pizza off the bill

Lovely little wine bar, very cosy with another lovely room upstairs. Extensive wine list and friendly service. Tucked away from the main road so not so noisy. Will return.
