Went with husband for lunch on Friday. The experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Efficient, attentive service without being in your face and food to die for . From the fantastic homemade bread to the perfect chocolate truffles it was sublime. We will be returning very soon.

This is the best London eating experiences I've had in years. Everything was EXCELLENT: the food, the wine, the service, the price. The food was so amazing that I'm still dreaming about it!

Quite honestly this is easily one of the best restaurants in London- we are regulars here and it delivers every time to perfection. My personal favourite next to Chez Bruce.

We ate at La Trompette recently and it was superb. The staff were delightful, being very attentive to our needs without being obtrusive. The food was fabulous,beautifully presented and most importantly , absolutely delicious. I couldn't fault one dish. The sommelier is wonderful, ask him to match your glasses of wine with each course. His choices complimented our food to perfection. Oh and the bread is fantastic too. We had a wonderful evening. Well done Trompette. We can't wait to return

My complaint over being ejected by a bad tempered French waitress was about as bad as you get - we were roundly encouraged to press on late to La Trompette only to have my entire party seated, then ordered out aggressively by a tiny French manageress. It was hurtful, spiteful and she did it in front of a full restaurant. We met rain, no food and real rudeness.

Neither Bruce Poole nor Nigel Platts Martin, both glorified in the spin of their trade press, have faced up to the total failure of their management chain here, the serious rudeness to a long standing customer (does that mean anything?) and frankly abusive, aggressive behaviour by senior staff towards customers, encouraged to attend! Their juniors had repeatedly ordered us to come the the Royal Opera House after a ballet show but they were never consulted by a French woman intent on chucking us out into the rain and closing her kitchen. Poole's and Platts Martin's judgment has been to stonewall, ignore and refuse all correpondence - what do they think their business does (a) exist to insult or (b) serve?

Frankly they should reply as their behaviour is unacceptable. Be responsible...

Went to La Trompette to celebrate a wedding anniversary - FANTASTIC. From start to finish we were treated like royalty. Staff were on the ball with any questions we had. Sommelier was tremendous with his wine choice, and with over 600 wines on this list - don't even try to decide. Let the professional spoil you. Food was fantastic quality and excellant value...but, what really put the icing on the cake, was the cheese board. This must be one of the best available.

It really is one of those restaurants you would want close to your neighbourhood!

Well done Guys - keep it up!

I went to Le Trompette with my parents who wanted to treat me for my birthday. Having never been here, it was a bit of a risk but I have to say the food was some of the best I have had in london. Everything was cooked to perfection and interesting and appealing dishes. The wine list was great as well and it was a perfect evening. A nice buzz on a Friday night. This is much more than a neighborhood gem.

This was the best meal/service and evening out myself and my partner have had out in a long time. Being a special occasion, we wanted something special. And we definatley got it.

At first we couldn't get a table (it was Tuesday and we trying to book for the coming Saturday night), but the maitre'de kindly took my number and advised she would call me if they had a cancellation. On Saturday morning, I recieved a call and was told we could have the table if we so wanted.

The experience was lovely, food was amazing (especially the starter of Seabass), service 5/5 and the whole experience with La Trompette was excellent. We were so full after the main, that we only shared the desert! Perfect!

I would not hesitate recommending this restaurant and can't wait to go again.

Great for special occasion - worth the money.

Our third visit to La Trompette this year proved to be just as much a pleasure as our previous two visits. The welcome we received was very warm and sincere, the food, wine and service were excellent and it was nice to be able to set our own pace for our meal.

The rabbit ravioli I had for starter was exquisite, as was the lamb main course, and to finish off, the subtle coffee Creme Brulee was superb.

The only minor point I would raise is that I believe that any 'service charge' should be left to the discretion of the diner rather than being automatically added to one's bill.

Once again La Trompette has come up trumps. I look forward to my next visit.
