Le Suquet

17 years have passed since my last visit to London and I can't wait to land there this coming first Saturday of August. On my agenda, a "must" dinner at Le Suquet. I have been there quite a few times throughout the 80's. I have nothing to complain about. The food was always good, the "accueil" very warm and the prices quite appropriate. I did even allow myself the nasty vice of upsetting a celebrity there once, yet I was welcome again. I recommend to all who appreciate the cosmopolitan mix of a great London.

As someone who spends a lot of time in France I am always sceptical about "French" restaurants in London. This was my first visit to Le Suquet and we(4) all found the atmosphere authentic, the staff truly Gallic and the food excellent. it was expensive but we all felt we had had pretty good value and we will return.

I have eaten at this restaurant a number of times. The last time was valentines last year when despite have booked a table months ago - on the night my boyfriend and I were kept waiting for 1.5 hours before we were seated. The female manager was not remotely apologetic and had clearly over sold her tables on what is meant to be a very special evening. I can't begin to tell you how horrific this evening ended up being - the food arrived about 3 hours later and I just frankly couldn't wait to leave. The lady who ran the front of house could not have been ruder - she offered no apology or reduction in price and honestly just did not care a jot. All she cared about was prancing around in her mini skirt...she was dressed as if she was 20 not 50! All i can say is however good their fish is - I will never go back.

Whenever I am in London I go to this restaurant which I enjoy very much. In fact in my view Le Suquet is better than any seafood restaurant I had been in Paris.

What a let down - dreary atmosphere, bland food (reheated brown spinach and yesterdays potato rosti) plus they tried to overcharge by £20. It was expensive and bad value before that mistake.

I used to go there very often because I lived 100 yards away from it: we got stuffed with oysters and fish. The food is excellent, very high quality and simply prepared and presented. Sytraightforwardly good.

It's very brightly lit, but has great, authentic charm. Looks like a real seaside place. The staff are efficient, not overly friendly (it's still a French restaurant...), but nice. Very good place, also for a date. Prices aligned.
