Reviews of Club Gascon - French Michelin Starred Restaurant
C.Tried their Christmas special tasting menu. Service and atmosphere was good but food was a bit ordinary, there was nothing that stands out. They used unique ingredients, dishes are nicely decorated but taste was not as amusing as they seemed - I expected more from Michelin star restaurant tbh. It was still a good restaurant but it was just not my taste so would try find a different place next time.
d. d.My boyfriend took me to the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary here💕. It was a great place! The decorations, music, and service are perfect. My first Michelin experience! Amazing and unforgettable! Desserts and starters are fully of surprise🌷🍂🌿. We took a lot of photos, and you never know what you will get finally! Thank you, Pascal, thank you, my dearest 🐵.
I. J.Overall experience was great service, fantastic and careful display, but ordinary dishes… we had one vegetarian and one non-veg menu. The vegetarian was better in taste.
Atmosphere was cosy and dim light, making the dinner intimate.
For food: the starters and chef selection were fantastic, would give 5/5. The bread and butter was mind blowing, we couldn’t help but had to ask for more and more. The main courses were big in portion, for the foie gras specifically, it’s very heavy. Wasn’t amazed by ingredients or combination of cooking method. Overall the dishes in the vegetarian menu were lighter and more refreshing
K. A.Unfortunately I was a bit disappointing with my whole experience ..we start good with Amuse buse and starters..after that the dinner went slowly slowly down..but the worst part was the desserts...first of all we didn't have a second choice..and that. Dessert that we took wasn't decent at all..looks like they didn't have pastry on that day and and another chef from the kitchen jumped on pastry section just to serve something .very poor dessert...as I had my birthday on that day they brought us "millioner" chocolate..Just disappointing very bad flavour..even chocolate from tesco was better than that..and also almost all the dishes had Cauliflower..for set menu of 120£ I don't recommended it at all.
But the environment of the restaurant was good..
A woman that serve us the food was okay..
The hostess was very kind..
In general just the food needs improve!
F. A.We celebrated my partner’s birthday there. We had the 7course tasting menu with matching wines which both ticked all the boxes. Specifically the wine sommelier Francisca made this a memorable experience. Highly recommend this place. Also, Chef Pascal left my boyfriend a signed birthday card which was a nice touch.
A. L.This was a dining experience. Professional and efficient hosts and staff and an incredible menu paired with fine wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I can’t fault it.
S. T.Had a very nice birthday meal @clubgascon the restaurant being a lot smaller than expected was smart and warm looking, the service was friendly and chatty and the food tasty with some unusual combination (Pigeon and popcorn). We had the 5 course and 2 of the course were fantastic but the others still being nice didn't blow us away but the Pre & Post dishes were very nice. So i would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion and if you like unusual flavour.
M. T.Fantastic dining experience, the chef has taken us through great 'food' journey from the canapés to the desert. I liked all the 7 courses, but I particularly loved the Duck Foie Gras and 'Cheese Cake'. The wine selection was excellent and we really enjoyed Francesca service, our sommelier.
A. S.Fabby 7 course taster and the smokey bread was amazing. Staff friendly and would definitely go back. Great historic location and well worth a walk around outside if time.
L. S.Great presentation and services. Food itself was a bit below expectations but on overall fine.
J. F.Delicious Michelin star food. Great staff and good wine pairings. We had 7 courses (plus a few extras that they throw in) and we were perfectly full by the end. Obviously stupidly expensive but thats just how it is
C. B.Great team who made the evening very enjoyable. The combination of dishes are not what you would make at home and it was a voyage of discovery for the senses. Given that I had driven in to London for dinner having parking right next door was a bonus. Book via just park and relax knowing that you will not have to fight for a space. Well done to the team and the chef for a superb evening.
M. T. G.The 7 course and wine matching menu was beyond my expectations. Every dish was tastier and more surprising than the previous one.
The waiters and somelier were attentive and provided details about where the food and wine came from, how it was cooked...
S. R.Delicious tasting menu! Wines are incredible as well! Everything was on spot, service, food, drinks, environment. Strongly recommend!
C. R.3 wks ago we were in London from Australia for a holiday and wanting to go for a nice decent lunch.
So, I googled a Michelin restaurants and Club Gascon came up and has a good review so we booked it.
We’ve enjoyed our dining there, all the staff were very nice and very detail about the food that they’re going to serve to us.
I wish I could explain all about it but most of all, the food were fab, fresh, good quality and they know how to keep their star going so all the best and keep up the good work.
PS: Their wine selections is amazing! ^_^
T. M.Lovely setting, although I enjoyed the evening I wont be returning. Each dish in its own was enjoyable however very rich. After eating, we waited 30 to 45mins for the bill and missed our train home. Was really disappointed. We visited Cigalon which is a sister restaurant of club Gascon and for us Cigalon is worth revisiting, again and again 😍😊
M. S.Very nice French restaurant with nice ambience and good service. We had the 5 course tasting menu for £85pp. The restaurant also provide 3 appetisers to get your stomach ready for the food.
The main courses were mainly seafood, but also had a lovely pork dish. This is a great location for an intimate dinner.
l.Amazing value for money at Club Gascon's five course tasting with wine pairing. The menu starts with couple 'amuse bouche' with no pairing which starts with first course. Quality of the food is amazing, with generous small portions since it's a tasting menu, however though we ended up full. Wine pairing is challenging with couple of good surprises that go well with the food. Staff was friendly, quick and we had really good service. Overall a really good experience.
B. V.It's a definitely want-to-visit restaurant. I visited with my partner for a 5-tasting-menu experience. It's a French gourmet cuisine. The dishes were astonishing, very innovatively architectured, satisfying both the eye and the taste. Apart from the set menu, the experience incorporated an extra starter before each eating part which was an interesting surprise; appetizers-main-dessert. Here Igot impressed by the serving of such starters on pieces of rock or wood. Even the freshly baked bread was a stand-alone delight. The service was helpful and quick, the whole experience takes approximately 3 hours. The setting was quite ecclectic; heavy marble materials, soft lighting, background music were complimenting the experience. We didn't get the accompanying wine tasting, but probably it would worth it. Quite expensive, in normal ranges for 1-michelin star restaurant.
W. L.Went there on Valentine’s Day and was not aware/notified of their V-day menu, showed up explaining to them and asked if we could order from a la carte menu, the answer was no, so we were slightly frustrated at the start. Kind of forced to take the V-day set menu, luckily starters and mains were tasty but the portions were really small. Desserts was the biggest problem, cheese tart with a cabbage was a weird dish that we couldn’t really understand. As we were both not the greatest fan of cheese, having a 200% cheesy cheese tart was a problem for us. The cabbage on the side did help but it was plain and didn’t really match up with the entire dish. They offered to make us another dessert after expressing my non-satisfation with the cheese tart, the other dessert was way better, wish they had it on the menu instead. The other dessert dish on the set menu was white chocolate opera cake, it was not the best opera cake I had as the layers fell off when you forked through the cake. Sponge cake layer was dry and blend, the cake wasn’t as smooth as an opera cake would be. In general, I feel like desserts isn’t their strong suit, savoury dishes on the other hand were fantastic.
J. K.TLDR: I would suggest finding somewhere else. London is a big city with a lot of options. This doesn't need to be one you pick.
Overall, the food was quite good, but the portion sizes were very small. Given how small the plates were, I would have preferred a 7 course option as is listed on their website menu, but that was unavailable (they had a special menu for Valentine's Day that was 5 course only). In particular, the truffle creme brulee was something very unique, and also very good. Typically with these set menu type places I leave very full, but honestly, by the time we got out (more on that later), we were almost hungry. Kind of a shame for £400.
Not unexpected for a French Restaurant, the wine list was very...French. Lots of options, but mostly incomprehensible to the layman that doesn't have an encyclopedic knowledge of French wine classification. I'm sure it's all very good. We went with the suggested pairings. Similar to the food, the wine was quite good, but the servings were stingy. When served, we were given almost no information about the wine. In total, we probably got about two full glasses worth over the five wines.
The service. The reason I'm writing this review. The service was so very mediocre. It was busy with it being Valentine's Day and all, I get it, but if you can't handle serving two seatings of the whole restaurant, maybe you shouldn't allow that many reservations? It was very disappointing for a place with a good reputation (and a good reputation for service looking through other reviews). Where things went wrong:
- We sat at the table for a good 5 minutes without a menu or anything before anyone came to the table
- When we asked for a second bottle of water they forgot about it for a while. They did eventually remember and apologize, saying we wouldn't pay for it, but it ended up on the bill anyway. So we just paid for it.
- At one point they took my bread plate away while I was literally eating the bread still. It was very awkward.
- My venison still came with some of the butcher twine wrapped around it. It didn't bother me, and again we didn't say anything to the staff, but, unprompted, they came up after taking the plate away and apologized. The obvious mistake however highlights the lack of attention to detail overall.
- After our last course we had to ask for the bill twice. It probably took us over half an hour to finally leaving the place after we first asked for the bill. It's like we just disappeared. We just sat there for like 15 minutes wondering where the bill was. Nobody ever came up to our table after that and we eventually had to flag down another person. Even then it seemed to take an inordinate amount of time to get the bill. Maybe I was just jaded at this point, but they seemed to be rather frazzled. It was an unfortunate end to what I think was overall a good dinner.
- After we walk out the door they rush out to hand us a parting gift (a copy of the menu and some treats). Like...where was this half an hour ago when we were trying to leave!
So overall, the food and drink are both very good, but not at all worth the price. And the staff was sloppy and did little to improve the experience. Based on this one night I'm actually very surprised they still have a star. Maybe the Michelin Guide feels obligated to keep it this way because they've literally named themselves after it here?
T. J.Small and cosy but very spacious and comfortable. Brilliant, friendly service. Delicious food and drink. Stunning presentation. The tasting menu with wine pairings is always fun.
J. C.A must visit in London. Lovely staff and fantastic creative dishes.
One of the better Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to at this price range.
f. t.It’s our sixth time being here, never bored of it. Every dishes are just so unique and tasty. Loves the environment the stuffs and bubbles. Counting down the next time already.
D. S.Wow! One of the best restaurants I have ever been! Very professional, knowledgeable and experienced staff. Chef is magician! The way he plays with textures and flavours is on the highiest levels! We had an amazing evening, incredible dinner and will definitely come back for another experience very soon! Highly recommend for a beautiful experience!
N. R.Great place to go with the kids. Their Kids Go Free deal is a real game changer. Better than the current Kids Meal Deal on at Pizza hut! The monthly themes they have on are a gorgeous extra, the fancy dress costumes the staff wear really lighten the mood, not to mention the party games which are really inclusive with all staff and guests getting stuck in. Great sound system which is great at keeping the energy levels up!
One small complaint though, the menu is difficult to navigate if you are following slimming world or slim fast. For example, there are no points conversions on the menus. Would be great if they could add so we could enjoy the oreo freak shake with a little less guilt.
If you are going big and for all the courses, try the Trash Can Nachos, Club Gascon are NOT shy when it comes to the trimmings.
Great day out had by all xxx
M. B.Went here for a work Christmas party, we took over the whole restaurant. The food was amazing and artfully presented by very attentive staff. Don’t worry about portion sizes because you will be full by the end of it!
A. d. C.Fantastic experience. 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, 4 hours of impeccable service and brilliant, imaginative food. Vegetarian menu just as good as the normal one, catered without any trouble for my gluten-free (coeliac) needs. Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my daughter’s 21st.
I. K.The best food, wine and service experience ever!!!
The sommelier lady was incredible!
K. C.Pro..food presentation..ambient
Average....service
Con...table very cramped..food taste either bland or salty...desserts nothing to remember.
A. S.Wonderful experience. Chef gave me surprise bday card and treats!
V. R.Great dining experience. Chef is very attentive to customers experience. Make sure you mention your dietary requirements at the beginning of the meal.
C. S.We had a brilliant night! The tasting menu is fabulous journey through SW France, every dish is a fantastic experience on its own, no disappointing plate all night long. The sommelier has done a remarkable job with the wine pairing, keeping it affordable by going a bit off-piste. The only let down is finishing the evening with the Cremant de Loire, every other glass were spot on."
F. e.Just perfect from a to z. never had such a great experience in a restaurant. perfect service, creativity and that for a reasonable price. 10/10
K. S.Best expirience i have yet had . Food was fantastic and also service was on point!
T. M.A tremendous experience: daring flavours and presentation, with charming staff and impressive decor. We had the five-course tasting menu (rather than the seven-course option) but it was very filling! The squab pigeon and chocolate-coated goat's cheese were particular highlights.
S. S.Aye! Pretty decent grub in fairness - honest family fayre. Decent kids menu and usually a "deal of the day" (plat de jour) - Mondays is steak night, Tuesdays curry and Sunday is carvery.
We brought the kids for Halloween spook night (got a deal on Wowcher) and they were delighted with all the staff dressed as ghosts and gouls and lots of spooky treats which the little munchkins loved. For us grown up mummys 2-4-1 on Medium Zinfandel Rose kept us happy (well me n becki anyway) - the dad-cave has Pool tables and big screen TV with Premier Leage footy.
Halloween theme is trough the whole month of October and we have pre-booked a festive treat, their SantaLand Xmas theme on 11th November and really looking forward to that.
Highly recommend the Catering Managers Signature special (plat signature) DIRTY OREO FREAK-CAKE MILKSHAKE which is amazing, and we also really enjoyed the BELLY BUSTA DIJON CASSULET BURGER which is served with dirty-fried-tartiflette-muncherz and a pinapple ring.
Enjoy xoxoxox
j. h.Well deserved Michelin star. Had tasting menu of 6 dishes paired with 6 different wines. Food and wine pairing is ideal, sommelier knows his job. All staff provide exceptional customer service. The structure of the menu is well thought trough. Gives you the impression of the Southern France cuisine in high end fashion.
A. B.We had mixed experience in this restaurant. Positive: amazing food, interesting taste combinations. 5+ to the chef.
Negative: as soon as we arrived they confirmed with us we have a table only for 2 hours and they would need it back right after the time is over. I booked long time in advance and didn't have chance to choose a time duration. It was communicated not very friendly so we didn't feel very welcome. Staff was general very cold. The table was tiny. The food was served too fast. I ate so fast that I couldn't digest everything so spent half evening looking at my husband eating;)
C. F.We come to Club Gascon regularly to indulge ourselves on a romantic dinner or celebrate with our family when they come and visit us.
Club Gascon knows its signature dishes like foie gras but the chef always gives them a little twist surprising you every time and leaving your palate in ecstasy (that stunning foie gras with nori and rhubarb will stay in my mind for a very long time).
We had twice meals for two delivered, planning to order again next week actually and the enjoyment of those dinners is beyond words. Last time we had the most magnificent cabbage stuffed with the finest seafood (lobster, scallops, langoustines), I still get that Pavlov reflex that makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
We aren’t going to the restaurant or taking deliveries everyday but when we do, we do it right and we go Club Gascon.
Thank you for those extraordinary culinary experiences chef Paski 💜
G. M.Impeccable food and service (the 2 most important restaurant features for me).
Their French wine collection is vast and will cater for most tastes. My knowledge on French wine is limited, but the sommelier's knowledge was fabulous, and her recommendation was perfect.
We went for the tasting menu (10 courses) and it was one of the best we've had for decades.
Well done and thank you to the staff and chefs.
B. D.Four of us had dinner here on Tuesday to celebrate a 60th birthday. The food was absolutely superb. We went for the Autumn menu with wine. Everything was beautifully cooked interesting and delicate. We really enjoyed the sommelier - she was knowledgeable and fun. Lovely atmosphere. Attentive staff. We haven’t been for a while - we were regulars from when it first opened. We will be back. Some of the best food in London. Highly recommended.
R. D.Just awesome. Delightful modern food. Lots of South West France specialties modernised. Intense morsels of flavours. The seven course tasting menu is really 13 afters canapes and extras. However it's not too much. So much is just a delicate morsel or bite. You might want more but save room! Excellent wine list
O. T.Amazing French restaurant. Lovely interior design - but the food is phenomenal!
D. G.Went here this evening to celebrate a special occasion. Wonderful restaurant, the 5 course menu was delightful, such innovative creative food and truly delicious. The atmosphere was very nice and conducive to good conversation with nice light background music. Staff were friendly and attentive.
A. N.Lovely place with nice decor in the middle of the City. Though tables were too cramped together for an upscale restaurant.
The menu sounded fantastic. My partner and I ordered four dishes to share plus one dessert each. We found the food rather disappointing for a restaurant boasting one Michelin star. We've had much better French food at non-starred places.
Personally I also found the service to be very slow. We were ignored while the table next to us got given bread twice (we came in after them but ordered perhaps only 5 minutes after they did), eventually we had to ask for bread. Drinks took a long time to come and we waited about 20-30 mins to order dessert. During the meal no one came to ask how our food was.
Pleasant enough experience but would not be keen to come back.
J. T.My wife & i visited this restaurant quite recently. We were a little early and so we're shown to the bar next door where we had pre dinner drinks. Very nice atmosphere.
The restaurant also has a very nice atmosphere. The staff were all very professional without being pretentious,as some other high end restaurant staff can be.
We opted for the tasting menu and along with the accompanying wine tasting. The wines and good really went well together.
We would recommend this restaurant because the food, wine, staff and atmosphere were second to none. The staff really made us welcome and looked after.
Thank you Club Garscon for a memorable meal.
Z. X.Fantastic French cuisine and great service!!! Highly recommend the tasting menu. We tried the 7 courses one and we were very satisfactory. One pity was that we arrived on time but the table was available to us half an hour later. We had to wait in their bar.
H. M.We took advantage of an online promotion offering a full 4 course dinner plus amuse bouche & pre-dessert for just £49 per head. All dishes are meticulously prepared & most tasted fine. However, the £45 per head wine-pairing was a bit disappointing, we felt half of the wines were below average for such an established French fine dinning restaurant.
J. T.Club Gascon is an interesting place. I got treated to 6 courses on their tasting menu which was £60, and discovered a variety of flavours. The atmosphere was nice and chilled on a Tuesday night and service was excellent. We asked if we could have the courses quite quickly and they delivered. Food was really good quality and I 'tasted' a lot of things, which made for a really good birthday dinner.
A. S.The food was delicious. All the dishes were outstanding with exceptional presentation. The service unfortunately was disappointing. Definitely not good enough. Not attentive and not professional which clouded our experience.
M. S.Well prepared 5-course Valentine's menu. Best truffle ever tasted even I am not a fan of truffle myself. Price is a little steep, but very pleasant experience overall. Great for date nights and anniversary celebrations.
W. W. K.The tasting menu with the wine pairing was great. The service we received from the staff was amazing and they were very attentive and kind. Also got a surprise birthday card personally signed by the head chef so left very happy!
S. M.Well deserved Michelin star. Had tasting menu of 6 dishes paired with 6 different wines. Food and wine pairing is ideal, sommelier knows his job. All staff provide exceptional customer service. The structure of the menu is well thought trough. Gives you the impression of the Southern France cuisine in high end fashion.
J. S.Ok, but not brilliant. Smoked bread and beetroot butter a nice and different touch, and a very good and reasonably priced wine list. But the food lacked a wow factor and was really nothing to write home about. Not the type of place I’d recommend, but also not a place I’d veto. Coming out reasonably ambivalent - which in itself, says something quite profound
E.Really excellent food and dining service with a good interior, perfect as a date location with a sophisticated atmosphere. Staff were professional at explaining the menu as well as making guests feel welcome. Prices for the dishes are pricy but not too expensive, I would say its definitely worth every penny and not overpriced. If you haven't tried this place I would strongly reccomend you to.
It is no surprise this place is Michelin star
P. S. bacon flavoured butter was yummy.
L. C.Service is simply perfect. The food could be better. Of course it is the matter of taste , but 2 desserts, we ordered, and black truffle potato spaghetti were not good. Strange taste of desserts and raw potato - nothing even close to delicious or we just just didn’t understand the author.
L. Z.I definitely recommend this place!
We've had the 3 course menu, and each dish was more surprising a delicious than the last. The advice we received on the wine was remarkable and the selection fit perfectly with the food.
The hosts and waiters are very careful and offer a great service.
I. B.My review would probably be 3.5 stars for this place. The presentation of the food is interesting but that’s where the creativity of the chef ends. The taste is rather unimpressive if not straight bland. It seems that the chef enjoys visual side of culinary way more than the gastronomical. It’s highly arguable whether this place deserves a Michelin star: after comparing it with NY Michelin-rated restaurants we concluded that Michelin is way less strict and more discretional in assessing and giving stars to European restaurants. Verdict: maybe interesting but i have no desire to return.
Ps: service was a bit weird - the server didn’t offer to try the wine before serving it and went straight into pouring it into the glass. I reminded him about it and basically he shrugged and pretended that he heard nothing. The wine list and the wine quality were quite good though.
Y. Z.I express my deep gratitude to the employees and the chef separately for the pleasure. I was able to afford only 4 days in London, my youngest daughter had a birthday. I ordered tables at three restaurants for every night: in Ritz Carlton, Club Gascon and Le Gavroche. Club Gascon really pleased me and my Family. We liked it a lot more. I would put it same level with Guy Savoy.
S. B.Deeply unimpressive, uninspired mediocrity. Food was prepared in a technically proficient manner, but not a single item truly impressed. Value for money was extremely poor. Service was curt, unhelpful, and snooty. Does not in any way deserve it's Michelin star. This was the second worst tasting menu I've ever experienced, and I've experienced quite a few. Each dish, even the better ones, had areas of significant weakness. Would not recommend.
J. M.It's fair to say that, having read the reviews, I had extremely high expectations. I can honestly say we were blown away by the service and above all else the food. As many of the other reviews say, this was probably our best culinary experience in London.
G. L.Not your typical French restaurant, each dish is so inventive; every course we had was outstanding. We appreciated the prompt, friendly, and attentive service. The staff made my birthday very special.
This is a must try!
K. R.My other half loves French food, and I have to say that this is probably one of the best places we've ever been to! The menu is really inventive and cooked to an incredibly good standard. Obviously it's not cheap, but for a special occasion it is absolutely worth it! If you can go with the tasting menu I'd recommend it - that way you get to try the full spectrum of flavours!
S. P.Absolutely sublime! The best dining experience we have had in London! The service is great, especially the sommelier who is very knowledgeable. The food is very creative and beautifully presented! We look forward to coming back!
S. Y.Servers are sensitive to timing. Food is hard to describe: Delicate art with lots of texture yet hearty and rich, based on heavy Southwest French cuisine. Excellent place for business lunch/dinner yet equally impressive for a date. You have to experience it to understand the complexity and wonders in French cuisine.
K. S.My favorite fine dining restaurant in London. The menu never disappoints in terms of quality and flavours. I also love their wine. Ambience is romantic and tasteful- perfect for a special date night!
D. M.Attention to detail didn't go a miss, the staff were tentative and well informed. Every dish was overpowered for my tender pallet, truffles coupled with truffles and cheese layered with cheese. A good experience all in all but I think I'll be feeling the wrath of the cheese fondue later today...
D. H.Very pleasant innovative menus and food with unusual wines. Been there about 4 times but always pleasantly surprised. Not cheap so best to go if someone else is paying.
F. B.A fantastic evening with a great and well thought seasonal tasting menu. The evening was made even more special by Karim who looked after us fabulously.
J. Z.Wonderful service, food and ambience
O. Q.A wonderful experience of Gascony senses... friendly staff and a unique feel.
A shade above other London "French haut cuisine" without the pomp and attitude.
An eclectic crowd too, that gives a buzz to this hidden gem.
K. v. N.I don't like spending nearly 300 pounds on dinner for 2 (set menu with wine paring) and then being told when I asked for bread that I need to wait until the 2nd course. This place reeks of pretentiousness. Also no one could tell me what one of the ingredients was in the main course. I asked several waiters and none of them could answer. I did enjoy the food, but I think there are better places for less cost that don't make you feel like you don't deserve to be there. The staff need to cool it on the snobby.
K. M.Helpful friendly staff and lovely food in a nice setting. Some surprising flavours that worked really well together.
F. G.I have eaten in many fantastic restaurants but this is the first with a Michelin star. Service was fantastic. Food unbelievably great. Wine excellent. Worth every penny.
L. M.Been here a couple of times now, a really speciAl experience. Great staff. We had the tasting menu, food was amazing as were all the paired wines. One of m
A. G.Top notch, great food, friendly and effective service. This is not the regular Michelin smarty food, they have some of the most unique and most delicious dishes I ever had. Very good experience.
M. R.Absolutely superb dishes, great selection of wines with personal recommendations for each dish, attentive but not annoying service. These things all together made me enjoy my staying there
S. S.Very good cooking all in all, let down only a little by a lack of attentive staff and confusing atmosphere. As I waited on my menu, waited on my bread, waited on my water, I was predisposed to dislike the food but even with such a poor start I found every dish to be expertly crafted and delicious, when it finally arrived.
F. Y.Without doubt one of the best offerings in the city, at least in terms of what I've managed to experience from events such as taste of London. There's a certain professional, pleasant and friendly approach by the staff coupled to some of the finest dining the city has to offer. I'd offer a 9/10 and without a moment's hesitation, encourage all of my friends to try the marmite with soldiers, even if they aren't a fan of marmite - deliciously divine!
I. S.Great service, great food, food preservation is an art! Loved it!
K. Y.For a 1 Michelin star, I was a but disappointed. Staff was great but the food was a bit salty also left feeling a little unsatisfied. For the price, would recommend going elsewhere.
K. W.Club Gascon serves nice and refined food. However, the value for money is quite bad: it is very pricey for the type of food served. The whole restaurant ambiance is pretentious, with waiters pretending to speak French. Even for special occasion, we would not go back there.
J. W.Classiest place on Earth. I can't image being treated better or having a better night. The food is amazing and the lightning is the most appropriate for finishing the perfect dining atmosphere the restaurant offers.
L. S.Wonderful food. Very relaxed but with the elegance expected in a one star Michelin. Absolutely an enjoyable experience.
S. B.One of the best meals ever. The wine pairing was excellent. Each dish was beautifully executed
T. A.Delicious food. Great atmosphere.
P. G.Quaint smart and very well presented dining room, service is amazing as you would expect from a michelin starred restaurant, the menu isn't to crowded with dishes and gets to the point, quality of food is top draw and presentation is theatre, we loved it and will return.
I. J.Great value especially of you avail of one of their occasional deals through bookatable. Top class food and the wine pairing is stratospherically good
A. M.one Michelin star well worth. Interesting menu, good wine list, smart ambience, good service. right place for a business lunch or romantic dining.
L. A.Such a wonderful balanced tasting menu! I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel although I did struggle towards the end due to being a bit full up. Excellent service.
S. G.I have been to other Michelin Star restaurants but this was great. Truly a delight.
J. H.Amazing food. Excellent service. Good menu that changes often. A very special place to fine and try some seriously interesting dishes.
A. A.Beautiful dinning experience. Manager and all staff were pleasant, the food was beautifully presented and superb. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
C. R.Amazing value fixed priced lunch. When the bill cane, it was something like £25 for two. If you get fleeced on the motorway services, it can be more than that, and the did in Gascon is sublime.
J. W.Meh. "Playful" was used in one of the reviews and that is accurate. Olive and Chocolate Millionaires were a bit odd. The thyme ice cream was good, but the olive was a bit too strong on a few of the bites. Ick. My qual was OK. Not really all that good though. I haven't had a lot of quail, so maybe it's tough to judge. If quail normally sucks in general, then disregard that.
C. D.Club Gascon is just exceptional ! Being french and arrival in london recently, I am pleased to enjoy true French cuisine ! If you want to pass a wonderful moment, go to this restaurant.
The + : a team at your disposal that does everything for you to have a good time.
Merci Club Gascon !
Z. P.Ordered 3 course dinner and it was actually 5 courses so that's nice :D
The food all looked and tasted great! The set dinner is also very affordable!
P. B.Excellent food, creative. I found the 3-course menu price a very good value given the quality. Staff attentive.
J. E.We took the £35 three course-offer. Best service I've encountered in my life, so polite but never made you feel awkward. And FANTASTIC food.
P. K.Often imitated, but still never surpassed. A broad range of prices on the wine list allows you to have a total blow-out or a reasonable but very pampered meal.
