Terroirs

If you like good unusual wines with plates of cold meats and cheeses, this is the place to go to. Even dessert was of very good quality. The tables are a bit cramped and if you don't like meats the menu can be limited.

The service was friendly and the meals are well presented but the main deal is the very large choice of wines - no Hardys or Mondavi wines here but from small vineyards from mainly France and Italy.

One word of warning the bill climbs very quickly with the wines and various plates of ham.

Terroirs continues to impress with its consistency - good food, the best wines in London and very friendly service.

Fantastic.

This place never disappoints. Dinner for 6 in the restaurant downstairs last Saturday evening. Service was first-rate: attentive, efficient, knowledgeable. Food was very good indeed. A few small plates to share for starters - the pick of which was the duck rillettes. Main courses were all exceptional - the pork belly was the best I've had, and the rabbit with polenta was to die for.

Wine was inevitably good, and very reasonably priced for the quality.

With 3 bottles of wine (all in the £30+ bracket) and one of champagne (the Philipponnat is excellent and served in very concentrating glasses) the whole shooting match cost just over £260, which I consider excellent value for money.

We savoured our dinner all the more as we were very nearly done out of it: a police cordon briefly closed the whole road. Five minutes later it came down, thank goodness.

I love this place although unfortunnately it has become so busy that its hard to get a table last minute now. Seats at the bar are available if you can get there early enough though.

Staff are very knowledgable about the wines and can really find you exactly what you want, food is hearty and flavoursome. Best part is the atmosphere, you can end up staying wayy into the night here and not realising at all.

Its fairly expensive but you get your money's worth!

Last night was my second visit to Terroirs - had a fantastic time the first time round and was sat downstairs.

This time we were upstairs and it was a beautiful sunny evening with all the windows open.

I cannot fault Terroirs - the staff are knowledgeable, helpful and are great at recommending how much to order and what goes well together. As always the selection of charcuterie (rillettes, terrine and some saucisson) was delicious, and we combined that with a steak tartare, potted shrimps and an eel/bacon dish with horseradish.

Combined with a few carafes of excellent wine at reasonable prices - this place really hits the spot. Such a great atmosphere, delicious food and a great wine list and you end up getting a wonderful experience for the same price as many mediocre restaurants.

Amazing place to go - and always makes me feel like I'm on holiday. Highly recommend!!!

Great fun, noisy and enjoyably chaotic small plates bistro with a cracking wine list, teeming with happy punters. Stand out dishes, packed with flavour included pork and pistachio terrine (a must have); smoked duck, beetroot and hazelnut salad; smoked eel and bacon with crepe parmentier and horseradish cream. Cheeses are in great condition and pannacotta is properly wobbly. Great value too considering the location.

Terroirs is a jewel in central London, a great place to go and relax over a drink with some first class nibbles or more substantial dishes if you are in the mood. The wine list is now legendary and the service very friendly.

We ate here last weekend and it was my favourite meal of the year without question - we had the cod's roe, snails & bacon, herrings and also beetroot/goat's cheese; every dish was cooked perfectly and served by knowledgable, genuinely friendly staff. Really can't wait to go back.
