Great staff, great service and great atmosphere. Just the seafood linguine was a bit bland. Fixed slightly with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese
Esat is a great person. He greeted and welcomed us with his friendly smile. Food served was top notch, fresh and super delicious. Highly recommended!
I had a baby shower at this restaurant and I was so surprised on how helpful the staff have been throughout the whole booking and during the event. They gave me and my guests a private area downstairs which was stunning. Honestly, the food was fantastic and the whole evening was very enjoyable. All my guests were all very complimentary on the service and was so surprised about how accommodating and friendly the staff are. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone, whether it's for a quiet meal or booking for a small event. Thank you Savoir Faire!
Most brasseries in London are a bit disappointing. Savour faire seems french-style Italian, so not a classical brasserie, however, nonetheless in comparison it delivers. Steak sizeable and juicy (and actually properly medium rare on request). Salad dressing a bit bland and salad primarily iceberg lettuce. Appreciated the kidney starter option; but could have had some more kidney meat. Setting quaint and comfortable, waiters very polite.
Seldom leave negative reviews but...Mushroom Bourguinon with 4 slices (yes 4 I counted)slices of bland mushroom. It looked and tasted like a school dinner. If I wasn't with friends I would've had Chef out to justify serving that in west end restaurant. The scores for atmosphere are for the company. For reference the first photo with broccoli is what I got. The 2nd photo is from BBC good food...kinda what I was expecting for main course that cost nearly £20! Thanks to lovely friend I wasn't paying...if I was would've sent it back. I wouldn't recommend this place.
We recently had a delightful lunch at this charming French restaurant, and it was truly a memorable experience. For appetizers, we went with the recommended mussels, which were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor—an excellent choice to start our meal. For the main course, we had the duck and the lamb shank, both of which were tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented, accompanied with a carafe of Merlot. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment here and look forward to returning soon! A&P❤️
Food: I ordered garlic bread to start, which was very tasty. Had Lamb Shank for main and was a bit disappointed as it tasted just bland which I didn't expect considering the price. Atmosphere: it's an okay atmosphere nothing special. Service: So at first I thought it was nice that waiters would check on me that everything is okay, but it was just too much. I don't need to be asked 3 times during my main of its okay. This was tolerable, but I got asked if I was finished whilst I had just took a bit bite of food. Why would you ask when I'm clearly still eating? No I'm not finished, but I just got fed up and said yes. And they had put 12.5% service charge for a solo diner which is just brutal.
Nifty find with Delicious food & Cossy vibe. Salmon filet was phenomenal. For cream base pasta lovers then I’d highly suggest their seafood pasta or carbonara. Service was a bit slow ( Maybe I’m use to NY speed ) but the staffs were very friendly. Overall meal took approximately 1 hr and 45 mins for party of 6 with 2 appetizers & 7 entrees.
Mario poked after us so well..after a very bid deception from the restaurant 2 doors down who gave me a booking but when I turned up after almost an hour and half drive , was told they can t give me a table ! Mario promised us the best service.. he was polite and did everything he could to make our evening better food was good .. and he went out of his way to please every person not a fancy place but much better to have the good food and amazing service!
Service was great, very lovely staff. Food: Mussels (starter) - portion size was small and not enough sauce. Chicken supreme - very good, chicken tender and sauce was not too rich. Seafood linguine - good but sauce too buttery, heavy on the palette. Crepe with Nutella/Strawberry - delicious, didn t skimp on Nutella.
very nice
Very welcoming service from man running the floor.
The duck was lovely and so was the steak. However, weve both had better. The service was excellent and their selection of wines were fab! Ill be back!
It s very difficult to book a restaurant in London during the Christmas season, but we managed to drop into this lovely place. The food was great, and the service was excellent. However, the interior could use some renovation as it feels a bit worn out. They also need a new lighting design dimming the lights slightly would create a much cozier atmosphere.
Sergoi was lovely great service food was amazing would definitely recommend
Friendly & polite staffs.
Friendly attentive staff, great service and lovely good! I would highly recommend the bottomless brunch, great value for money too!
Very friendly service!
Grate!!
Amazing
Such a lovely place! Cozy, lovely staff, food is amazing! We went in for my partner s birthday for the first time, and he would definitely come back! Highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely evening xx
Food was very good. Dog friendly and great service. Dont be afraid to go in, you will not be disapointed.
Amazing food and experience
Like the food and the services, quite nice. I ll go next time again
Atrocious meal - pictured, the starter. We had booked the Christmas meal (3 courses pre-ordered) but abandoned after this was presented. Are the rest of the reviews real?? Food
Really poor experience. Booked for a Christmas meal, but they hadn t registered the booking so I suspect the food was a quick fix. The photo says it all. It was meant to be a starter. Don t go if you actually want to enjoy good food. Or know what good food might look like.
Excellent place.
Very good food and great service. Will come again!
Mario was amazing! 5 star service
wonderful and kind people working here. Cozy restaurant with good food
So warm service! Nice food! Cosy atmosphere!! Kid-friendliness: We was given drinks from the house Food : 5/5 |
The staff are absolutely lovely and the food was splendid. They went above and beyond to let us and our baby feel comfortable.
Really nice services
We were very disappointed by this restaurant, having read the reviews. When ordering, we checked a few times that the spinach and tomato fettucine was vegan, for my vegan daughter. The server confirmed it was. She then ordered the French onion soup (and the fettucine). The soup clearly states on the menu that it is vegan. Not vegan option available, but that it is vegan. When my daughter was served the soup, there was cheese on the bread on top of the soup - not vegan cheese, regular cheese. So she sent it back and they returned with a plain soup for her. My husband and other daughter ordered the caramelised onion and brie tartlet. They said it was tasty, but lukewarm, but didnt want to complain and return it. The tart also came with walnuts on top (not shown on the menu, and a potential problem for those with an allergy to these nuts). I had ordered a vegetarian pizza and asked what vegetables are on it, as I cant eat peppers (I have a food intolerance to them). Peppers was one of the vegetables, so I asked the server if I could have the pizza without peppers as I cant eat them. My husband reiterated this to the server, who confirmed, no peppers. I know readers can guess what happened when the pizza arrived - yup, there were peppers on the pizza. I returned the pizza. Staff removed the peppers and gave it back to me - complete with little indents where the peppers had been. I returned it again, as I cant eat all those areas where the pepper juice had been due to my intolerance of them. They then remade the pizza for me. My husband and daughters all ordered the spinach and tomato fettucine. As already mentioned, we had had a conversation with the server when ordering, that the pasta was vegan, and he had confirmed it was a vegan dish. The first two bowls which came out had cheese on. So I reminded the server before he brought the third bowl out, that my other daughter was vegan, and he said, yes, I know. Five minutes later, her pasta came out, so we suspect that they had already put cheese on top, and had to redo it. You cant just pick off grated cheese like you can pick off peppers on a pizza. However, all of my family said the pasta was overcooked, and pretty tasteless. Two of my family ordered desserts - a crepe and a creme brulee - and they said these were good. We wouldnt return to this restaurant, as the food was only mediocre, and because of the mistakes made with the food. To their credit, they did fix each mistake and were polite and gracious with it. *there was also no hand soap in the ladies toilet, so thats a hygiene issue.
Cozy French place with awesome service!!
Server was really nice, caring and mindful of our time limitations. Food was really good. 5/5 would recommend!
My server was unbelievably kind and attentive!! The food was delicious!
Very kind service and excellent food. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.
The best pasta Ive ever eaten
Vegetarian options: Beaucoup d option Food
The seafood linguine is divine!
Fantastic Service. Free Limoncello shots after we ordered steak. Absolutely wonderful.
Very good service and very good food.
A nice little restaurant with great food and service. So happy we found it during our stay.
Do not be fooled by the reviews. This is a terrible dining experience. It was cold, the table was rocking, there was a strong smell of detergent and there was cleaning products left right next to our table. However that was great compared to the food. Really, really poor. The service was also a disgrace.
Its really so delicious haha awesome
The best carbonara!
We loved our waiter ! Give him a pay rise!
We went there for Xmas meal. They did not serve us till half and hour despite the fact there were no customers. Food was awful. My risotto was as soo salty and no taste. Waiters didn t know what they were doing I would never go there again.
We had a decent experience at this restaurant. The food was reasonable for the price though nothing standout. The service was actually quite slow despite the waiter being borderline obsequious. 4.5 stars seems inflated based on our experience and is one of those places where the rating is so high simply because they ask you for it.
The restaurant was amazing, service was friendly. Thank you for a beautiful meal
We ordered a pizza or a pasta and it was delicious. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs.
Really cute little restaurant with some pretty tasty food. Can get really busy and feel a little understaffed, otherwise amazing little date restaurant
Excellent service, and great value food !
Good
Very friendly staff, vegan food very yum
Good food
Mario & Sergio great hosts! Delicious food and very nice atmosphere :) Will definitely repeat!
Perfect meal and gluten free friendly too. Our waiter was lovely and very accommodating!
Excellent food and people. Definitely recommend it!!
Cane for Bottomless brunch and couldn t fault the atmosphere, the food or the service! We will definitely be back and not just for the bottomless :)
Was nice Vegetarian options: Good Food : 5/5 |
Nice cosy restaurant
Lovely Italian restaurant, the best veggie pizza Ive ever had!
amazing service!
Thank you for your service. I enjoyed the special time. Food
Decent
The garlic bread was stale Food was overpriced for the quality Food
A warm atmosphere with friendly service. The food came out fast, and the goat cheese salad was spot on, with the cheese caramelised. The carbonara was also fantastic, and I loved that the waiter brought Parmesan to the table without me even asking. As a French person, I really enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. However, the food didn t quite live up to the prices. The entrecôte was disappointing it was so chewy that it was hard to enjoy. The veggie lasagna, on the other hand, was tasty and well-prepared. Overall, it s a nice place, but the quality of the food could be better for what you pay.
The food was delicious. The service was very funny and friendly. If you are planning to visit London, I recommend you visit this restaurant!
good vibe, nice food!
short time to wait and very nice pasta.
Great restaurant, food was awesome and the staff was great. Thanks Fawaz!
Amazing food, atmosphere and staff. Vegetarian options: Very nice Food : 5/5 |

Perfect food, great service and amazing atmosphere. Everything you could ask for!
Its good, its delicious, and the manager here, Fawag, is very professional and attentive, recommending great food!
Such a special, unique place brimming with character and flavour! Just fantastic
Disappointed with the rating this restaurant has.
Amazing food right in the heart of London! We got carbonara and the duck, and both were delicious. Duck had really crispy skin and tasty sauce, and carbonara was so creamy! Big portion of the pasta too. Would love to come back!
Beef Bouganville (i think thats how you spell it)
We dropped by one weekday afternoon for pizza (Margarita) and drinks. The service was great and i love the cozy atmosphere.
On a cold day in London, the food and service was exceptional! My sister and I enjoyed pizza and wine. It warmed us for the evening walk home.
Such a vibe Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating Food : 5/5 |
Lovely dinner, friendly professional service x
Wonderful Ambiance and best Risotto I have had in a long time. Excellent service! A must try.
The service is bad here you can visit some other place and they cost you 12.5% of service fee, it is not worth it.
perfect place with italian food
Great food, great staff all helpful and polite. Fast service and really lovely inside!!
we tried this restaurant this evening. The meal was good and the service pleasant. good sized restaurant. we enjoyed the spinach and tomato pasta.
Good experience, very helpful staff, very good dishes (pizza and pasta).
Love this authentic French style bistro. Food is of excellent quality at a reasonable price. Service prompt and charming. Have returned over the years and has remained consistently great
Not the place it used to be. Overpriced. Niçoise salad was fridge cold and the tuna was tinned yet it cost nearly £20. Overall, we were disappointed
Great food thank u!! Vegetarian options: great vegan options Food : 5/5 |
yusuf had amazing service and amazing food thank u
loved the experience and the yusef made it even better
Amazing food, great services, highly recommended to try near the area !
The food was amazing and the service was incredible Vegetarian options: All the dishes were incredible Food : 5/5 |
This is a wonderful French restaurant, and I make it a point to go here whenever I am in London.
Fantastic find! Superb salmon dish, one of the best I ve ever had. Pesto pasta was also excellent. Our server Fawaz was very attentive and friendly! Great experience all around. We will be back!
Good food. Excellent service.
We ordered the risotto and the duck and they were really good! The service was very nice too!
The food was delicious, but when paying they wanted to charge us the 77 euros in cash. And they even told us that if we came back again we should bring cash.
The food was excellent and Joseph was an excellent front of house. Would recommend
We really enjoyed the ambiance and the Lamb shank was amazing !
Had dinner during a very busy time. Only one server was servicing the entirety of the first floor and he did a fantastic job despite his workload. Food was excellent, atmosphere was great, prices were good. Would go here again!
I ate pizza here today, it was very nice , the lady Sultan who served us was very nice and polite, I was very pleased with her service.
Very nice pizza and a nice atmosphere.
Excellent attentive service. Delicious food. Highly recommended Dietary restrictions: Wide variety of gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
Incredible service, lovely staff, great cocktails. Interior decor very nice also, unique style

It tastes pretty good. I stopped by to eat fawaz after visiting the British Museum.
A great restaurant. Serviced by fawaz
Fawaz very good service, delicious food, great location, clean environment
Everything very good Vegetarian options: All very rich
Great lunch
Restaurant where I eat the evening I arrive in London for tourism. Near where I live its a bit of a retro place. Good dishes, over time I have tasted different alternatives, good service (if the waiters do the serving, a little less the waitresses). The furnishings are nice but not excellent. However, it is worth trying the cuisine of this restaurant because it has something different from all the others. Vegetarian options: There are options for vegans which are clearly marked. Parking: You cant park in this area of London if youre not a resident Kid-friendliness: Suitable for children Wheelchair accessibility: There are no architectural barriers
A lovely dinner-and very decent pricing for its central london location!
Great food, wonderful service.
Vegetarian options: Good variety Food
Staff very responsive and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Small and fashionable. Able to substitute but Substitutions are paid for. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are pasta, risotto, and veg lasagna
Server fawas was very good,lamb shank was really fantastic & tender soft,& consideration of halal options
Fawze was a hospitable server and the food was great
Thank you to Fawaz!
Loved it Kid-friendliness: Very friendly Food : 5/5 |
Very good waiter, barely any waiting time and the food was of top quality. Just try go and see for yourself!!!
I found the dish very tasty and well served. Great value for money for lunch!
Good food and very good service
Fawaz was the best among... lovely food
Kid-friendliness: Typically Italian. They genuinely love kids , very family strong . BTW I didn t bring any kids but I saw kids at another table being treated like a king !!!! Food
Very delicious
It was great food and the servers where very nice
The food was really delicious! Service was good, though starters came out after mains. The atmosphere was pleasant and chilled with a good choice of Fleetwood Mac background music! I d definitely recommend this restaurant.
Came here after going to the theatre, staff were really friendly and made you feel comfortable, beautiful interior with comfortable chairs. The food was great. We shared garlic bread to start which was rustic and tasty, and the steak entrecôte was incredible, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and for £25.95, a steak of that size, chips and a salad was amazing value, I ve never eaten a steak that size for under 30 pounds. Would definitely come here again, as it seems like the sort of place where the atmosphere attracts more high end customers, but the fair pricing attracts students or theatre goers.
Really awesome server! Good food.
Fantastic little place with great food and lovely service . Have been coming for years
Fawaz was very hospitable, he attended to all our needs. Top tier hospitality. Thank you for a great evening. Drinks were nice...and strong
Great cocktails, lovely atmosphere. Fawaz saw to our every need and made our experience so wonderful!
Walked into a little restaurant that was amazing on our way to the theatre with time to kill Food amazing , service friendly -non pressure A wonderful experience Highly recommend it! K.Ballard Australia
Great place had an amazing meal and cocktails
Wonderful atmosphere, nice seating and great food Vegetarian options: Clear and fully filled out vegetarian menu Food : 5/5 |
Terrible. I know the reviews are decent but, went in, the waiter didnt seem to understand what I was saying, stood far too close, and smelled of sweat. Ordered cocktails, 2 for £15, only to be told the cocktails, need to be the same cocktail. Never heard such nonsense in all my life and flagrant misrepresentation on the board outside!!!! Ordered the first starter, a reason we decided to go in, only to be told they didnt have it. Left immediately...weird and pants experience. Would not recommend although the other waiter was very courteous.
Pleasant environment.attentive service and tasty food.
Very cool place
I appreciated a good number of vegan options at Savoir Faire. This vegan lasagna was quite tasty!
Everything was very good and delicious
Delicious lunch, excellent service and a fair price. Highly recommended.
Great food and service
Delicous food, lovely people and a beautiful place!
Popped in here after a day of shopping down Oxford Street. Loved the cocktails! I can recommend the pornstar martinis they were fab. Had a few side dishes for nibbles which were really tasty I would have no problem returning for more substantial food another time. The staff were very welcoming and really looked after you. Good place, nice staff, good food and drinks.
Great services, food and place
Fawas provides great serve
Me and my girlfriend came here on a spur of the moment fling and were greeted by the manager named, Fawaz. His service was an absolute 10/10, from his demeanor, personality, and table service. Ready to accommodate my girlfriend on any drink that may have been too bitter, he offered to add sweeteners for her and was able to keep pleasant table conversation. We re not locals and he was able to make us feel right at home! Not to mention the 2 for 15£ margarita special that they had going on (must be the same drink). I highly recommend anyone stopping by to grab a drink! Or even just too meet Fawaz!
A friendly place with a pleasant atmosphere!
Pasta was okay, but I was told the main dishes are more recommended. Service and vibes were awesome, and price is standard compared to location Food
Vegetarian options: Good service. Food
It was very good
I was a bit hesitating to give a five stars review, because if it becomes too popular I may need to wait for my oncoming visits- Yes I will definitely come back again and again. I strongly recommend this restaurant to you, you will have tasty pasta/pizza, starters(very good mussels), and nice staffs, good service. Visit it after finishing the tour in the British Museum!
Service was absolutely amazing very speedy and our server was amazing!!
Sergio really made our stay! Bottomless brunch was EVERYTHING. GO now ASAP
We had a wonderful time at the restaurant. I was particularly impressed with the vegan options! I had the lasagna and it was beautiful. Fawaz was very attentive and professional.
