Great restaurant. I throughly enjoyed my meal- I had; foie gras starter (would recommend to anyone- maybe apart from vegetarians :0) ) scallops mains followed by the cheese selection. All very tasty! Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals, overall the service was good without being over-bearing and the wine was reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is quite art-deco and has some fantastic mirrors- as well as a few rather fabulous paintings- to include a few Picasso sketches, a Warhol and Matisse. Definately worth a visit

At the top end of the league table, L'Escargot is a more formal destination for excellent French food. First opened in the 1920s its been a Soho landmark ever since. The likes of Jancis Robinson & Marco Pierre-White have contributed to the restaurants success over the years,

Attentive service, attention to detail, classic French table service (Sommelier etc.) this is definitely a special occasion destination. I've been lucky enough to visit several times and have experienced the main restaurant, a small private room & the top floor "Barrell Vault" private area. Everytime the service & food has been outstanding, but you'd expect nothing less for a Michelin-starred restaurant. Expect the highest quality terrines, foie gras, escargot to start with roast duck, pork or lamb for main course. All rounded off with tarts, souffles or brulees. A pre-theatre menu lets you dine out on 3 courses for less than £25 which is excellent value.
