Walluc

We had our party just yesterday, second time there, we had raclette and fondue, good taste, I m french and my other friends were italians and from swiss, I have to say that the portions are generous and prices very good for what you can eat in London. Wine its cheap and they serve mainly Cote du Rhone form South France (where I come from) so Im not very neutral pheraps :)

I d like to say the I do like the athmosphere and the music in the background, typically 60s beat french italian pop, service its authentic like in Italy and South of France....relax

My experience was disappointing. The raclette classic cost £13 and consists of very small quantities of; potatoes, cheese, courgette, bread, ham and salami. The raclette/ electric grill is tiny and ineffective for cooking properly. The service was pretty bad and they don’t accept card payments.

I went to this bistrot some days ago but I was really disappointed!

The food I found in the dish was completely different from the one I ordered and really poor indeed.

They should learn how to manage a restaurant but above all to have more respect towards customers because If I stayed at home and did myself, I would have done really much much better and save money.

They can't ask 10£ for a dish with some salad and 5 slides of cheese only.

The price of what you eat is actually less than 1£ and there was not "cooking" at all.

I went yesterday to this restaurant, just to enjoy a raclette, thinking about swiss raclette with as much cheese as you want, a lot of charcuteries... and it was really poor... just 5 half-slices of cheese... and we paid 12.90 per raclette!!!!! The quality was ok, but the size, if you ever tried a raclette abroad, was ridiculous!

I lived on Redchurch Street for 3 years, until I moved a couple of months ago. About a year ago, I noticed a little restaurant spring up in an unlikely place, amongst the indie galleries and odd shops of Redchurch Street. It was obviously a place operating on a small budget, but looked strangely invinting as I walked home from work each day.

It wasn't until tonight, while revisiting the area that I thought I'd try the place out. As soon as my friend and I walked in, we felt happy with our choice. The interior is odd, ad hoc, bizarre, with a sort of "Eastern European on a budget" look. It's certainly a nice change from all of the shiny noisy bars around.

We sat down and were given our menus by a young woman who had a friendly face, but seemed too distracted to smile. The menu was a bit unfulfilling, with a strange, but full selection of dishes from Italy, France and Switzerland. There wasn't really anything i fancied, but we decided on two Ravioli dishes. When the waitress came over, still looking a bit worried, she informed us, in a round about way, that there were only four things avaliable - one dish I can't remember, and 3 pasta dishes which were remarkably similar.

This sort of fitted with the general feel of the place, and we found it to be curious, ridiculous and humorous. It took about half an hour to arrive, even though the place was only half full (though a bowl of parmesan arrived after about 5 minutes). When the food did arrive, it came on Oxfam style plates (still cool in its own Hoxton way), and though the portions were generous, the quality was laughable. This was a plate of pasta mixed in with a tin of chopped tomatoes! I ate better than this as a poor student who didn't know the first thing about cooking. There was no specific taste, certainly no chilli or garlic. We were really quite disappointed, and didn't eat much of it. How on earth do they think they can run a restaurant like this? If they carry on like this they are in my opinion, destined to close. I think it's such a wasted opportunity, as the place does have it's own strange charm.

nice fresh french fondue and raclette.

we had also some italian pasta and gnocchi gorgonzola cheese (delicious)

price was good, you can bring your own wine, service its relaxed, retro 60s music, one of the boehmian authentic places in london to have a decent meal, a cheap price and a good athmosphere.

One of the worst places in London. Their Carbonara portion was so small that my 7 year old child wanted one more.

The service was almost non-existent!

If you bring your own hand towels for the bathroom and your own table heater for your fondue (and maybe some kirsch for your fondue) then this place is OK. As it is, they are so laid back they need someone to remind them they are meant to be running a restaurant.

Nice warm atmosphere with some bizarre implements on the walls.

We visited Walluc over a month ago, and having just read other reviews for this restaurant I'm amazed to learn that people are actually recommending it. Undoubtedly the owner and chef are very friendly, and the cosy-looking décor was what tempted us here in the first place. But the quality of food is very poor. My friend ordered a vegetarian pasta that arrived containing lumps of unidentifiable grey-looking meat. Another friend ordered a salmon and spinach crepe, but what actually arrived was tuna in a wrap, without even a trace of spinach. Both friends mentioned that the dishes weren’t what they had ordered to the owner, who just raised his eyebrows and shrugged. The rest of us ordered meat fondue that arrived in an old saucepan which the waiter then stood on the table over some tealights. But the tealights weren’t hot enough to keep the cheese melted and it very quickly started to harden, making it impossible to dip anything into it. By this point we gave up trying to eat, asked for the bill and left, all agreeing that it was bar far the worst meal any of us had ever had.. What a shame that this cosy-looking neighbourhood restaurant offers up such poor cooking!
