- Richard FooApril 24, 2015NYC based French bistro style restaurant, with great ambience, good food and friendly service. French Onion Soup, Steak Au Pouvre, Sole Meunière all good. The bomb? Raspberry Soufflé! Don't miss that!Upvote13Downvote
- Kay TeoJanuary 4, 2018Similar to the NYC Balthazar, but they have afternoon tea in the London branch, and it's much cheaper than the classic hotel teas, yet high quality. Teas from Postcard, quality cakes all aroundUpvote7Downvote
- Andrew ReidMay 10, 2013Great to have a slice of NYC in London. Buzzy venue but staff interrupt you every other second. Never left in peace to talk. I'd recommend the Wolseley over Balthazar. Just as hip but more relaxedUpvote6Downvote

- Nora KAugust 16, 2015I went there for a Sunday brunch. We had pancakes and it wasn't that good! Very sour and dry. I loved new york's branch more. The service was very quick and good! Waiter was nice. I prefer dinner in tUpvoteDownvote
