Savoir Faire

Lovely quirky bistro restaurant. Very relaxed place to eat with friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and pre theatre 2 course meal excellent value for money. The mussels starter was to die for! Ideal for a romantic meal or out with friends. More of an adult, than family restaurant.

The food was bland and the customer service appalling. When questioning the poor quality of my meal I was ignored and told that I had no right to complain. The manager was so aggressive and unpleasant that we were forced to leave. The issue was dealt with in an unprofessional manner with a total lack of understanding and people skills

One of the better restaurants in the West end small and intimate, lok out for special deals ideally. We have been twice and were suitably impressed on both times. Especially downstairs you would think you were in a Parisian bistro. Ideal for couples whom like casual dining in romatic mood or even good business lunches, enjoy hope it keeps up the standards!

I ate here with four friends on the 11th Oct. The food was amazing, the choice, the presentation, all outstanding.

We all had three courses and drinks and we paid £26 each....i call that reasonable. Will definately reccomend this to everyone i know who are visiting our Capital.

I cannot wait to visit again.

We ate at Savoir Faire this weekend whilst on a theatre break in London ... worked out at about £25/£30 per head 3 courses and drinks ... the lamb was melt in the mouth and I cannot describe how deliciously creamy, chocolatey, melt in the mouth, heaven on a spoon the home-made chocolate is!!!! worth a visit to London just for that!

Well, where do I start? :0)

Having eaten some of the nicest food I ever thought I could find or afford, in several cities and destinations ...... Nothing prepared me for the moules in Pernod & Garlic butter, topped with Herbs and grilled in an Escargot platter !!!!!!

This was just the start of a cullinary adventure my wife and I experienced at the hands of a very clever chef and extremely friendly sociable front of house staff at Londons Finest French Bistro - Savoir Faire

I cannot speak for my wife (who will be writing her own review shortly) but I would never have believed that duck in cherry sauce with a hint of chocolate would leave me speechless or that the chocolate mousse was light enough to dance on your tongue whilst still stisfying the craving for sweet.

With perfect timings, fantastic conversations and chats that never encroached on eating time, a totaly individual & homely decor' & no rush to fill your seat once you had finished, this was the highlight of our 3 day stay in London.

x2 cocktails from the very well stocked bar / caraffe of red wine from south africa / 3 course meal for two and Quantreau & Coffee to finish ........ All for a total of £66.00GBP (not each) !!!!

We were so taken with the quality & price that we returned for lunch on our final day. Once again our choices were wide, our food was superb and the staff were as attentive as they were for our evening meal. I could not recomend this highly enough and wish to publicly thank the staff at Savoir Faire for what I consider to be the best value and quality I have experienced in a long time.

We will return whenever London is close enough to call into on a journey or when next staying over. Meantime this review will be repeated on other gastro sites including Qype in order to ensure more food lovers are given the opportunity to experience such a delicious combination of ambience / service & gastronomical excellence.

Thank you Savoir Faire

Dined at Savoir Faire again last night and as always was up to it's 10 star standard .

The mussels were to die for and the lamb shank so tender , it slipped off the bone. My companion was estactic about the foie gras and the beyond belief tender ribeye .

What made the night as usual, was the repartee with the staff who have been there as long as I can remember.

No wonder I keep coming back.

Ended up there during Easter holidays as my favourite nearby Italian reastaurant was closed.

I simply cannot believe this restaurant has any positive reviews. Quite frankly - this was probably my worst dinning experience ever.

Service was so slow it nearly made me leave before ordering ( I now regret I stayed ).

Waitresses were polite but had no menu knowledge and did not understand English very well.

My starter ( Onion soup ) was luke warm and main ( Braised Lamb shank )arrived with stone cold vegetables and mash potato - and all I could really taste was the red vine jus.

As for the ambiance - what ambiance?

I never complain in restaurants - I just ask for my bill, I leave and never ever come back.

Whoever gives this place positive review has absolutely no standards and poor taste in food.

This is the first ever restaurant that made me go online and write a negative review.
