Saw a fantastic double act with two guitars here and the it was great fun. They were maestroes and really showed up what passes for music nowadays. Great drink and nice meal. The place is incredible. it is as tho the owner has recreeted Casblanka in london. The house wine (red) was strong and good with no tannen after taste and my partners beer was cold and fruity. Will definetly come here again aand enjoy the movie set and the guitar playing again.

Le Quecumbar is everything I want a jazz bar/bistro to be. The ambience was perfect, food excellent and the staff were some of the friendliest I have ever encountered. We went on a Tuesday night which had an informal jam session in the main bar and a second, very quirky session going on in their gorgeous tropical garden, involving a man playing spoons! Although it was full, we never had to wait to be served and the staff were utterly charming. The music was Gypsy swing which was new to us, but we are now completely hooked. It was pure magic and we were reluctant to leave. My partner and I signed on to their mailing list and will be making it a regular haunt.

Nothing is too much trouble in this magnificent house of food. The statt are so attentive and will provide you with anything you require at the slightest wave over. Makes a change from the surly way we have been treated at other more grand venues. Great music. Dont normally like jazz, all that miles davis rubbish leaves me cold, but this was very good. My boyfriend liked his food and my own dish was great. What a lovely interior, like Harrods and Grace Brothers gone wild and the general air was very sweet.

recommended.

Obviously this place is a gem which attracts because of it's great ambience and excellent music. The food is average - but when the rest of the mood is lovely it doesn't matter so much. However after buying a 3 course meal with wine and coffee I was flabbergasted when I was refused a glass of water.

To be told in a semi-sneering manner that 'We don't do tap' is laughable, and pathetic. It's a small thing but it speaks volumes about the attitude of the management. Hospitality is not about screwing your customers for bottled water. I hope the Manageress will learn this lesson the hard way.

I couldn't agree with Maggie more. This is a lovely place. I came here with my boyfriend and he loved it. The lady who I believe is in charge was so charming and the French atmosphere was delicious and dizzying. We had a lovely meal with good red wine. No one bullied us to buy more wine or food (unlike a lot of more prestigious fooderies) and we talked with people on other tables, something that doesn't happen in stuffy old Britain normally, but then again, this is a piece of France in Battersea.

I did not know about Gypsy music and the great guitar playing on the stage was tremendously clevery. We forgot to buy some of the CDs they sell of their artists in the Quecumbar so we shall have to come back again ASAP and buy some. and stay for dinner!.

We had the Best time and thankfully the moaners were not evident THAT night! xxxx to you at the Quecumbar.

I'm shocked at what restaurants like these are able to get away with! People are clearly there for the music- nothing else, hence this maybe explains why they don't care about what food they are serving.they had a full house!! This is still not an excuse. Even Asda's microwaved meals are better! Actually, that is an insult to Asda! Sorry Asda! They can't call themselves a french restaurant, there was not even a hint of seasoning and they couldn't even spell to garlic! It was not even that-it was outright disgusting the food - DO NOT EAT HERE WHATEVER YOU DO!

The service is slow and disorganised with the bartenders serving the food, no waiters. They don't pay any attention to the tables and you have to wait for a long time before you get any service.

Gordon Ramsey, where are you? This restaurant needs serious help!! Haven't said that though, with the angry owner, full of defensive attitude I doubt you will even get a word in!!
