The best restaurants serving French food in London

Food was lovely but service was so disappointing I wouldn’t eat here again. We ordered a selection of plates that were whisked away as soon as they looked vaguely finished (they weren’t), we had only just ordered dessert (having asked three times for the menu- generally the waiters were very inattentive and it was hard to get service) when we were told the restaurant closing. We had only been there for about 1hr 15 minutes by this point and weren’t given our table until 8.35pm despite booking for 8.15pm (which was earlier time for evening sitting). We told the waiter we needed to have dessert but then were told three times (whilst eating it) we needed to go and were given the bill before we’d received dessert which I’ve never experienced before. As soon as we had paid I felt like we were just being hassled out, particularly by one large bald guy who resembled a bouncer. Despite spending over £100 on a couple of bottles of wine we had plastic pint glasses planted on our table and when I went to toilet I returned to the table to find my wine glass was gone and wine decanted into plastic. This totally spoilt the enjoyment of almost a full glass of a nice wine, which I ended up leaving. The final straw was the bouncer guy coming over and telling me us rudely they were closed and we “needed to leave”. It wasn’t even 10.30pm and still felt early - plus other customers were still there. We felt like we were pushed out and it completely soured the evening which was a birthday celebration - and felt a bitter end. Bora Bistro I had high expectations - and you failed miserably.

Went for the £30 set menu and it’s great value for money. Staff were super kind and helpful

I ate the best meal of entire trip in England, Paris and Brussels. The food and staff are amazing. Cote is my favorite places to eat in London

Food poisoning from a Michelin quality restaurant?! Attended with my partner for our anniversary and had the 10 course tasting menu. The food was nice but not at the same quality as other Michelin restaurants we had attended. Only after we returned home did the trouble start. My partner and I both had food poisoning and spent most of the night and following day in the toilet. This was my first time having oysters and I will ensure it was the last. The service was okay however the sommelier seemed quite rude and abrupt. Cosy atmosphere but can get quite loud at times. The last thing we expected from a restaurant of this quality.

The food was excellent, but the menu was a little limited. Service was warm, friendly, and greeting.

I went to Paris Grill this evening with some work colleagues as a farewell treat for my retirement. All of the staff we're very attentive but not over the top. Their service was top notch. I chose the Steak tartare, which was prepared at the table by Didier, and it was superb. My colleagues all enjoyed their food too, including the wine from a quite extensive and reasonably priced cave. The ambience was very business like but still very pleasant. The waiting staff were extremely polite and efficient. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Price wise very reasonable. Would I recommend Paris Grill to others? Most definitely. If I was pushed to find a fault with anything, it would be that we didn't have linen napkins, but that is just nit picking. We had a lovely evening so my rating would have to be a 9.99/10

Did not like my steak but our friends were all happy with their food

We had a nice evening here! The food was well-prepared, and the staff was helpful, though the portions were a little on the smaller side. A few minor adjustments would make it even better!

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Cote, chose combination of starters and sides. The cheese soufflé and broccoli garlic were particularly good. Nice selection of wines, chose a muskadet which was lovely. The staff were particularly helpful and pleasant.

This is our favourite Cote, Kamil (general manager), Kasia (front of house manager) and team all work so hard and are customer focused. Yesterday we visited to celebrate my birthday. Warmly welcomed by Kasia and shown to the table I’d requested online. We were given complimentary drinks (I’d received an email as I signed up for the Cote newsletter which I recommend doing) by Kamil (thank you again). We had the Prix Fixe menu which is great value for money. Between us we had the Salad au Bacon, Poulet Grille with optional upgrade of triple cooked chips, Kamil explained and apologised that as a supplier had let them down they could offer my friend pan fried salmon instead of mackerel which my friend had and we shared a chocolate mousse! All were delicious. I was further spoilt by a brownie, ice cream and candle on a dish saying happy birthday! Thank you it as do lovely. The team here are an absolute asset to Cote! Thanks again to Kamil, Kasia and the staff here, we cannot wait to return next year!

Food was nice I enjoyed the crab starter especially. Our waiter was a very abrupt didn't smile once I compared him to Basil Fawlty the way he spoke to us.

The peaches in the peach salad were hard as rock (and were not caramelized as the menu stated) and the rest of the salad mediocre. The himachi was decent but very skimpy for 25 pounds. The linguine with prawns was good but the tortellini was terrible, one bite of the whitefish a bit suspect. What Italian doesn’t give free bread to soak up the extra sauce? It doesn’t even need to be good bread! Portions were all small and overpriced. Room is nice but two extraordinarily ugly photographs are difficult to look at. Waiter was very nice but what the manager did was appalling. I went to the bathroom and then came back. My friend then went to the bathroom and was followed out, accused of leaving without paying the bill. Seriously who would do that? They said they didn’t see me come back. Is this really a problem? We were quite upset. Manager apology was incredibly lame. Restaurant was mostly empty. It is in serious need of major changes.

The pumpkin soup was the best I've had, very buttery and smooth!

Service from kind lady at till at Lunch 6th June was amazing. Very polite and lovely.

Elegant atmosphere, perfect for a special occasion
