Savoir Faire

Savoir Faire is a hidden gem among the restaurant in London. This is my favorite restaurant in London. I've dined there number of times and have never been dissapointed. The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and Max and Irene the owners are top management. Every time I visit London I go there and I always want to order everything from the menu. One time I was in London I went there after theater show with almost 30 people!!! We had made a reseveration in advance so when we arrived they had arranged the upper room for us. Every single person in the group was in seventh heaven.

Every time someone I know is going to London I tell them about this place and I will continue doing so and of course every time I visit London I go there.

This is my favourite restaurant in London for quality of food; it nevers disappoints. My husband and I eat here fairly regularly as we are lucky enough to live locally. In fact, if we try somewhere else we invariably end up saying wish we had gone to Savoir Faire! My husband is also a chef and understands what can go on behind the closed doors of a restaurant kitchen (you wouldn't want to know) and he rates this as one of the best in terms of food freshness and preparartion - not just in this country either.

If anyone ever asks me to suggest a place to eat, this is the only one I can recommend without fear of them having a bad meal, never mind the value.

We visted the restaurant on May 30th 07. It was 9.45 in the evening but they were still serving (and still with a smile). We walked in off the street not knowing what to expect and were delighted by the ambiance of the place. The waitresses were polite and attentive and the food was delicious. Good value for money. We would have no hesitation in recommending Savoir Faire and will visit on our next trip.

We visited with my partners family over from Switzerland for the weekend. We were looking for a "typical" french restaurant. From the previous reviews this restaurant seemed to fit the bill & we weren't disapointed.

This is a great restaurant offering basic, good quality food, cooked well, they got my medium rare steak just right. The service is friendly although I agree that they would benefit from an extra pair of hands in the evening but that is my only critisism.

We liked it so much that we have already booked f2 more evenings there to introduce others to this delightful place.

Sadly, I dont get a chance to come that often. It is fantastic value, with great honest cooking. I have recentlly moved to Richmond and found the local equivalent lacking. The beef bourginon is one of the best that I have had along with their chicken liver starters. Wine is also good value. Service is friendly, though on eveings - they could do with an extra member of staff.

A very good restaurant indeed - wine, service, food, value & atmosphere all 100%

The only downside being the large windows right ontop of the pavement of New Oxford Street - which does give it a bit of goldfish bowl feel if you are facing the constant traffic headlights flashing past - but if you sit facing the kitchen or go downstairs this issue is resolved!

Not a good place to be vegetarian - but the one dish on the menu for people who do suffer from vegetarianism is very nice indeed - I took a vegetarian in there and he loved it!

Highly recommended!

They should rename this restaurant Savoire Fairplay! I took the whole family there on Sunday for early Christmas lunch, a risky business carrying the responsibility for that kind of occasion singlehandedly around your neck. Thankfully, the previous positive reviews posted appear to have been upheld. The service was excellent (we kept the waiting staff waiting, long after the last guests had left - not even a hint of grumbling), the food was quite outstanding and unbelievably good value. Cumulatively this equated to the Christmas party ending up a roaring success. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, good price. Three courses each, and a bottle of very drinkable house wine between two came to around £50. Which is good value, when you consider that you can easily pay closer to £80 for meals which aren't as nice as this. The highlight for me was the Duck magret - absolutely delicious. The service was friendly if a bit slow - but not a problem if you're not in a rush.

This is one of those few restaurant in London where you really feel like your money was well spent and your pallet was massively satisfied.

We were first sat at a quiet little ambient corner in the restaurant which provided the perfect atmosphere for a long chat. The decor is very fitting for the theme of the restaurant and I found myself looking around appreciating the furnishing and pictures on the bottom floor. We ordered from the £15.95 for 2 courses menu and I have to say, my chicken liver starter (cooked just right) and suckling pig main (absolutely gorgeous) was by far one of the best dishes I have had in a while, especially at that price. Saviore Faire is highly recommended and I will without a doubt be returning very soon. On top of the that, the service was fantastic, so a 10 out of 10 from me!

quaint, lovely little restaurant, staff very friendly, went for the Times 'Dine with Wine' special and could choose from whole menu except seabass but only an extra £1 to have it!! Would definitely return.
