Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Oakwood

I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

Faultless food and drinks, accompanied by Denby’s perfectly cheerful yet professional service, which was prompt yet unrushed. There are so many pre theatre choices, and we’ll be back to this one for sure. Lovely touch to acknowledge Hubby’s birthday with a candle, song and card! Thank you.

This was probably the greatest culinary experience of my life. Managed to get a booking for the Valentine’s Day meal. Not just were the hosts incredibly hospitable but incredibly attentive. The highlights of the menu were almost the entire thing. Both desserts were sublime, the TFC, caviar gougère and roast chicken were amazing. I’ve never seen a scallop as big in my life and for the duck course the main star of that dish in my opinion was the morels. We were put on the chefs table which was like looking into a finely tuned, well oiled machine. There is an almost 100 percent chance I’ll be back in the future.

A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.

Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.
