Le Beaujolais

I went to dinner with some colleagues who were part of a dining club. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the staff were pleasant and efficient. The service was friendly and I would give it a 10 out of 10. However, I found the food to be a bit disappointing. There was nothing wrong with it and it was perfectly fine to eat, but it lacked inspiration and reminded me of a €15 menu I had in Boulogne recently. The restaurant seems to be known for its excellent cheese trolley.

The food and service at this restaurant are consistently excellent. I brought my friends, who were visiting London for Christmas, and they were really impressed.

When in London we’ve always fancied visiting when spotting it walking past as we love everything French. We had an hour opportunity to visit before heading back home on the train, we popped in around 5pm Monday night and it was really lively and busy but the chap behind the bar said if there is a spare table with reserved on it we can have the table until the reserve time which was perfect as we only had an hour. We enjoyed the sharing platter for 3, even though only 2 of us, a huge board of meats and cheeses and pickles and terrines, absolutely delicious and perfectly French, with bread and crackers washed down with a lovely large glass of Bordeaux superior.

The restaurant was unwelcoming and uncomfortable, not at all resembling the description provided on the website or in other reviews. It was exclusive to Club members, so I only had access to the wine bar area. It did not live up to its promise of being a little piece of France.

Terrific little French restaurant. Excellent food and wine with superb cheeseboard selection. Always a warm welcome.
