Langans Coq d'Or review by Jeremy Liebster
Considering this restaurant is located in the middle of the trendy Old Brompton Road, Langans Coq d'Or is remarkably old fashioned. There is something slightly archaic about the staid atmosphere in the bright dining room and the tinny background music, and the service, while perfectly friendly, was just not quite right. The waitress was middle aged and English and reminded me of a distant aunt who I had never particularly liked. My smoked duck with spanish tortilla was a perfectly nice starter and for main the red mullet was fine, but my girlfriend's 'vile' fishcake apparently contained very few fish and was bizarrely full of mushrooms. Overall I was left with the impression of the sort of resting-on-its-laurels restaurant you might find in a northern provincial town where people go for a special occasion. It is however in no way good enough for its prime location in Earls Court and I am amazed it manages to survive. I can only think that judging by the clientele it is advertised in some of the tacky hotels that pepper the backstreets of Earls Court. For the overall experience I should also add that it is comparitively expensive at £70 for two when you can get far better fare at any one of the other local restaurants for a similar price.
