Highly recommended as an independent jewel of a French restaurant. Had a really enjoyable experience when I visited recently. The food was excellent, high quality and straightforwardly well presented food, also great selection of wine. A really relaxing evening, the staff charming, attentive and helpful, so friendly and unhurried not intrusive yet charming service. Felt like welcomed friends. I found it to be an excellent restaurant which I would not hesitate to revisit the next time that I am in the area.

I have visited L’Escargot on various occasions and both the food and service never disappoint. It is the perfect venue for all occasions whether this be special events like birthdays or date night. The food is some of the best I have ever had from the first course right to dessert. The variety of wines on offer compliment the food perfectly and it is truly one of the best establishments in London. The atmosphere is always buzzing yet intimate and it is one of the few places still around with a rich history and legacy. The decor and setting of an old townhouse also adds to the restaurant’s charm. The service has also always been excellent and welcoming in every way. Some of my best evenings in London have been in L’Escargot and I recommend anyone who is after exquisite food in a classically beautiful setting to visit this gem.

The food was delicious, the service was good, and the atmosphere was superb. The stupendous snails were soaked in butter and herbs, whilst the cod paired well with peas and baby asparagus. The bread was freshly baked, incredibly tasty, great selection and hot fresh from the oven. We really enjoyed dipping the bread in the butter herb sauce of the snails. We had a lovely lunch.

A gem of a find in Soho, London (theater district), L'escargot was one of our best culinary highlights ever! Impeccable service, amazing food perfectly cooked, combined with a very cozy ambiance. Voila! Our 90 minute experience turned into a 3 hours wine and food extravaganza, thanks to London's rainy weather. Simply 5 stars ALL across the board. This will be our new staple every time we visit good 'old' London. Want to re-emphasize the service, ambiance and perfect cuisine. Don't leave without trying their signature Escargots. Thank you for a memorable evening Peter!!!
