Club Gascon - French Michelin Starred Restaurant in London

Disappointing. Flavourless cassoulet, revisited with lamb and hardly any haricots, dry and scarce duck, accompagnied by a bitter compressed leaves salad, why? Celeriac and coffee dessert nicely presented but insipid and the two do not compliment each other. Service OK only. Nice atmosphere. Falling short of its reputation.

Foie Gras through gavage force fed. Inserting tubes down throats. Won t eat here again

This restaurant serves duck foie gras, a so-called delicacy that is rooted in sheer cruelty and animal suffering. The production process is nothing short of torture ducks are force-fed several times a day, their stomachs painfully overfilled to the point of illness, just to swell their livers unnaturally. Supporting this dish is supporting a cycle of extreme and unnecessary suffering.

Delicious imaginative cooking. The vegetarian dishes were super. Recommended the Faux Gras, how did Chef create the liver flavour with nuts! Food

We have visited Club Gascon on multiple occasions and without any doubt, it is one of standout restaurants on the London scene. We have come for birthdays and an impromptu dinner alike, for the full tasting menu and a la carte, all of which have been truly special. Some of the highlights for me are the creative use of foie gras in varied dishes, coupled with a brilliant selection of French wines, and of course, the warm and charming staff team. We have always been welcomed back with a smile and chat. The comfortable, refined interior is full of tasteful, yet pared back, touches down to the tactile crockery. Everything a fine, grown up restaurant should be and highly recommended. We will be back soon!

Highly pretentious tasting menu that would appeal to very few palettes. Lack of dress code (person next to us wore jogging bottoms, hoodie and white trainers) made an awful dining experience feel even less special. Courses were as follows: Appetizers - a delicious selection of 5 bite sized samples. All superb and led us to think we were in for a true culinary experience.... 1. Prawn cappuccino soup with lentils and tuna heart. Very fishy but passable, nothing special. 2. Artichokes and plate of hibiscus. Truly awful. 3. Bowl of various mushrooms (including pickled) in boiled water and foam on top. Lacked flavour. Unpleasant texture. 4. Mouthful of pigeon - the only piece of meat of the non vegetarian menu. Looked nicely cooked but chewy. 5. Some kind of melted slushy blue cheese. Looked like a melted sorbet alongside crunchy noodle sticks. Very sickly. Couldnt eat it. 6. Herb flavoured sorbet, a sloppy melted affair that looked like it had been recycled from prior course. 7. Fermented honey glazed carrots (literally two slices of carrot for desert) alongside some dry ginger cake and an orange exploding thing which made my wife retch when she ate. I took mine to the loo and flushed it down the toilet as I couldnt bear the thought of seeing the waitress disappointed face any more.

Good restaurant

Thank you for the excellent food, and the very kind, competent and knowledgeable service. And all that very reasonably priced. Being able to talk to the chef himself was another highlight. Thank you for coming up to the restaurant to meet your guests (I know this was an exception).

Really nice wine

Nice place to visit, I really enjoyed the food and the staff are very friendly, I will recommend it to my family, friends and colleagues

The food and experience here was just incredible, I will certainly be going again and I would recommend anyone else to try

Awful mixed up service with the wrong 1st course food brought out then AGES to wait for the right one then only one brought and we had to wait even more for my other diner to get theirs. Horrible main course of not properly cooked as pink and jelly like. Awful tasting aubergine and weird green thing that looked like a succulent I have in my house. Also not hot enough and luke warm. Seriously hope I m not sick later. Only good thing was the glass of Montrachet. Hate that all that money was wasted on an evening that should have been enjoyable. Absolutely not worthy of any michelin stars and a big disappointment.

Olympic theme meal. Very well received, very good food (the foie gras is excellent!), no complaints. Worth the detour!

YAZ s service was truly standout! With every pour, she brought not only skill but warmth and personality, making every drink feel custom-crafted. Her ability to mix speed, precision, and a friendly vibe turned a simple night out into something unforgettable!

The wine was very good the service was not bad. The seating is cramped right against the wall and not enough space to sit comfortably. The table we happened to have was wobbly which is ok if youre eating at a food hall but not for a fine dining experience. I know that food tastes are subjective but honestly its definitely the worst food Ive eaten at any Michelin starred restaurant. There was one dish that was outstanding (the mackerel), the variation of lamb was also pretty nice and the rest were just not very good at all. I must add the presentation of the dishes was brilliant! The price ended up being worth it due to the amount of laughter it gave us on the way home talking about our meal.

Very bad

A special place with extraordinary cuisine.

We had a really wonderful evening dining at Club Gascon. I went with a group of friends for a special occasion. It was clear how much effort all the chefs and front of house staff put in to make our experience as special as it could possibly be throughout the whole evening. The food was absolutely stunning and full of carefully curated surprises which we really appreciated. The service was incredibly smooth and attentive. We were in very good hands with the wine recommendations, especially loved the desert wine. We felt really looked after. We won t forget this special evening. THANK YOU so much to the whole team at Club Gascon.

Brilliant food and service highly recommended it

The set menu is good value for such a nice restaurant

My second time dining at Club Gascon and the food was once again amazing. Creative, super tasty and worthy of its Michelin Star. The cheesecake desert baffled me (in a good way)! Our waitress was lovely but the sommelier was rude. The wine list is extensive so we asked for some advice. When we said our budget was £60-70 for a bottle he snubbed us, pointed at a page and looked over to another table. Unacceptable and quite frankly set a poor tone for the rest of the meal. Luckily the waitress and food redeemed the situation but the sommelier let the experience down.

Not crowd which is good, food is fresh and very creative. Tried 8 courses tasting menu, but some are tasted weird. Maybe some people like it. Recommend the pork on my picture.

The worse meal I ve had under the Michelin Star brand! Extremely disappointing food, a pub meal will be a much better choice! Food

I dont normally rave about Michelin star French restaurants, but this place goes about itself with class, down to earth sophistication in service and ambiance, while still putting delicious gourmet food on your table. Pleasantly surprised and would highly recommended.

I came with my partner where we had a voucher. Other food was provided to us that wasn t included that we wasn t aware of. However, the food was nice enough

Its not worth a cent, and I dont recommend it

Very busy place, the Staff look tired and overworked and I never seen one member of Staff looking happy, it s very sad and they work so hard, Management in these hotels need to look after there Staff better, there is nothing nicer that to book into a hotel and the Staff are smiling and welcoming but I don t blame them as they are not been looked after

Didnt quite get half of the dishes. Also, having a proper wardrobe would be nice.

Our second time at this wonderful restaurant. The food and service were superb. Club Gascon had been awarded a Michelin dish of the month for December and was well deserved. Every dish was excellent from the tasting menu and the wine pairing matched beautifully.

Been here fairly regularly over the years and it is consistent, always have a great experience. The bread is exceptional even for this level of restaurant . Always found it great value relatively, tasting menu with wine pairings, although the prices have crept up a little more recently.

Excellent restaurant. We try to go at least once a year Perfect service and the tipsy duck is fantastic Food

Amazing 7 course taster menu with wine matching.

Duck was fantastic.

Came here last year; the food was amazing. The sommelier was so informative and gave the best recommendations. The Foie Gras was honestly mouth watering still think about it till this day 10/10

It doesn t deserve to be a Michelin star restaurant. There is one waiter who is so rude and not polite. The food was terrible I have tried many non Michelin starred restaurants/ Michelin guide restaurants that are so much better than this and this club gascon is overpriced. More than £260 for 2 people, for such terrible food and services.

This was the first visit to Club Gascon in a few years and I m sorry to say I was really disappointed. It seems to be stuck in the past. The decor is still quite elegant, but the food wasn t so impressive. Of the 6 course tasting menu, only 2 courses + the bread were of any distinction. The service style was quite peculiar, in particular the sommelier had a very condescending, and almost antagonistic approach. It s a real shame but I feel the restaurant has really lost its edge and I don t expect I ll visit again.

Stunning presentation & kind staff

Superb restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, and wonderful combination of taste and colours. I recommend to everyone!

Only went for cocktails so couldnt comment on food. Bar staff knew their stuff though.

Absolutely fantastic! I last went to Club Gascon many years ago and was in two minds about returning for a family birthday. I am so glad we did; it was amazing value, fantastic food and wine, plus incredible service. I will certainly be back again soon. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, despite none of our party being vegetarian one was avoiding meat.

A must. Thank you Jordan!

Great experience Fabulous decor Food

Amazing food and incredible service. Very friendly staff who explained the food as it arrived and were very helpful with wine suggestions. All the food was bought out right on time and was presented beautifully, and the whole restaurant had a lovely atmosphere.

Really lovely experience. Good food and service was super friendly. I did find a very gritty mussel but other than that, faultless.

We booked a table for Wednesday April 5th one month ago with a friend visiting from overseas. On the 4th at 7:30pm, we receive an email saying that our reservation was cancelled. Not even a phone call to apologize for the inconvenience. And when we called them, they didn t want to go into the details onto why they cancelled. Extremely disappointed by a so called Michelin star restaurant.

Great food and service.

Hated the vegetarian options. Not worth it.

Damn good! We really liked it: Extraordinary combinations: daringly different, delicious! We will be back. Service very nice and accommodating: worth it. I dont think everyone likes it: kove it or hate it: I was thrilled and everyone will Recommend: will come again when in London!!!

Review for 4th May 2023. I haven t been to Club Gascon for many years, though the standard of the service is still outstanding and the whole culinary experience was very special. I went for a 50th birthday celebration and we had a lovely time that will stay in our memories for a long time. The eight course tasting menu with wine pairings is special and I can t wait to come again throughout the seasons.

Excellent meal, well paired wines, friendly staff. We had a wonderful evening .

I found this place while researching London. It s one Michelin star and certainly deserves it. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted. The place was quiet for our 6:45 pm reservation, but filled up within an hour. We reserved the four course meal for 85.00 EURO each. It was terrific. The food is tasty and well presented. The tulip with quinoa is unusual and presented with thought and care. It s neat. The other dishes were flavorful and subtle. The desert was great, especially the cheese filled macaroon. The service is exceptional. The waiters and head waitress (a red haired woman who was awesome) are top notch! Overall bill: About 330.00 EURO which includes four glasses of champagne. Try it today!

It was my birthday dinner and I loved the whole experience. I opted for the tasting menu paired with wine. It is not cheap at £250pp but worth a try on special occasions. It was exactly that! Brilliant dinner and wine with splendid service. CG, you deserve **M.

Absolutely superb. Great service and beautifully presented food that tasted amazing. I can t sing their praises highly enough. True top end French dining.

i would give this place 10 stars on everything, shame just 5 stars its the max we can rate

Weve eaten at Micheline star restaurants before this is NOT Michelin quality food. I suggest you eat anywhere but Club Gascon. Mediocre food is a compliment. Dont waste 500 pounds on okay food!!

We were so looking forward to this meal. We were celebrating our anniversary. We traveled long distance for this meal. To our surprise, this meal was lack luster. The wine was not good for 130 pounds as recommended. The sommelier was a little snooty in his expertise. The lamb was fatty. The food was warm. The sides did not go well with the entrees. I just dont get how jello cumcumber is so good with any entree. From the beginning to the end, the quality of the food was not good and was not savory. The food tasted bland. We couldnt wait to get out of there. We had 6 course-meals and spent a lot of money, which we did not mind for our celebration. But it was advertised as a Michelin quality. So we thought.

The authenticity and quality of food that Chef Pascal is putting in every single detail is worth more than 1 Michelin star! The entire staff with the excellent Restaurant Manager Francesca are ensuring that you will have the best experience ever, this restaurant is definitely worth a try given also the prices for tasting menus which are really good for London. A taste of Gascon away from Gascon.

Great experience, I have had the 6 courses tasting menu and wine paring. Everithing was perfect and special mention goes to Francesca the restaurant manager who delivered a very professional service.

It was my second time at the restaurant. I went there to try the actual tasting menu. Everything went extremely well, the service was attentive and the pace between courses was perfect. A big thank you to the manager Francesca who has made our night very special. Food

Fantastic lunch. Did the tasting menu. It was superb. All the dishes deserved . Ive been to many michlein restaurants in NYC and Paris. This is one of my favorite ones. We will be back. Thank you.

Went here for a tasting menu with wine pairing here a couple of weeks ago. Very quiet for a Friday evening. Everything was beautifully presented, service was polished, and the food was truly and comically abysmal. Whilst consistently unpleasant, highlights included (a) Smoked bread (which tasted like cigarettes); (b) exploding fois gras bubbles in duck soup with grated tuna heart which tastes like it sounds; and (c) an undercooked pigeon despite my asking for it to be anything but. Felt a bit sorry for the staff (as it was a bit funny) and left hungry which should not really be happening at £600 for 2 (!). To note however: (i) it has really stayed in the memory; and (ii) this place used to be v. good/reliable pre-pandemic - not sure if the chef has changed or something.

Food was great, had the 8 course tasting menu and only disliked one dish - neither of us liked the frosted rock, tasted like pink dish soap. As others have posted, you are paying a lot for the menu and this comes with high expectation of service level and food. And this really feel short. It was very good but just not that 5 star level it should be based on price. The two servers were very nice and the one lady was great. And, if this was a regular restaurant and we were having a 3 course meal I would not have a problem with the service. For a MICHELIN start restaurant the service fell short. The restaurant needs a least another server to help; the two people seemed really overwhelmed and could not maintain the level of service necessary. Plates were left on the table after done eating far too long, we had to ask repeatedly for another glass of wine, pacing of dishes was off, etc. It is all these minor points which differentiate a restaurant from 8/10 to 10/10. it is the difference between a really nice and 5 star. The restaurant has been there for 25 years so I am sure it will be fine despite my review, but customers should be aware this it not a 5 star Michelin restaurant anymore.

I was visiting a friend in hospital nearby. I remembered the restaurant from the early 2000 and thought Id take a look. I have the most amazing memories of a few of their famous dishes. So I went in and asked about them. I spoke to the amazing maitre D Francesca and asked if it was at all possible to eat.... Well Francesca went above and beyond to accommodate me and had the most marvelous time... Thank you to all the staff and kitchen.

An excellent dinner. The richness and balance of flavors in each dish is truly worth the detour. The lamb in particular was to die for. Bravo to the chef who deserves his reputation. On the other hand, although the staff were very pleasant, the attention to detail that one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant was somewhat lacking. I ate the starter with the wine list that was in the way on the table and I had to call back the waiter who was leaving with the empty plate so I could order my glass of wine. Too bad because otherwise it was a 10/10.

A special place where you can taste different flavors

Simply delicious. We had the A la carte lunch. The menu was a fusion of their old classic dishes and new ones to celebrate their 25th birthday. The duck was the best duck Ive ever eaten.

Food was exciting and delicious. We had a great time.

A must go absolutely amassing menu and wine list. Nothing is missing. This is an institution in London and will remain for long! Do not miss. Its worth the trip to the City and if you work there on Friday; lunch is necessary. The Challans duck is a marvel!

Trying too hard, this menu was all over the place. Over seasoned, conflicting and overpowering flavours, not the standard one would expect from such a restaurant. Ultimately, very disappointing.

Having googled Michelin Starred French Restaurant in London Club Gascon was one of the first options to pop-up. A quick sense-check of the reviews, it seemed worthy of a booking, but if Im being honest, we were rather disappointed by our experience. For complete transparency, this was our first time eating classically French fine-dining but having eaten at a number of other Michelin starred restaurants in the past - we had little reason to believe our evening would have been anything short of fantastic. We ordered the 8 course tasting menu - both the regular and vegetarian options. None of the dishes we received were particularly memorable, with some flavour / texture combinations leaving us a bit perplexed. E.g. The squirrel terrine with hazelnuts, partridge leg / offal meat on a sugar tart. But understanding that taste can often be subjective, I dont want to dwell on this... What particularly disappointed us was two-fold. The attention to detail: Receiving a chipped wine glass, and having wine accidentally spilt onto our table and then not offered to be cleaned up. Not something we would typically focus on but when youre paying a premium, you expect a premium level of attention. The perception that our servers did not know what what was in the food. Whether this was an off night (Thursday), Im not sure, and whilst perfectly pleasant, it often felt like we were trying to coax out of staff what had gone into our dishes... On a few occasions, our questions yielding a single ingredient response or a bemused look. In our view, the beauty of the upper tier of dining is the experience and story-telling, for the staff to take you on a journey of what, how and where the food has been produced... Bringing to life what has put in front of you (figuratively speaking, of course!) Finally, the presentation. The food was refined and well presented. The restaurant itself, however, was maybe more dated than we have come to expect, quintessentially looking like you would have expected a fine dining establishment to have looked in the 90s. We are absolutely not in the habit of writing negative reviews for the sake of it but we feel like it is important to give an honest appraisal of our experience, for this to be viewed constructively and hopefully improved upon in the future.

The flavour combinations are unusual but subtle and very good. The wine is also top notch. Its pairing with food really good. Though you can find great wine elsewhere, that food is only available at Club Gascon. Food : 5/5

I Got 8 course tasting menu. The taste was too strong with many spices and the combination was not so balanced, i dont really like sourness goes with bitterness without any sweet. All courses were either with bitter or sour flavour. Salmon was tasteless sorry to say. Foie gas a bit too salty.

Great presentation and services. Food itself was a bit below expectations but on overall fine.

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.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere.

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

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...

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!

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.

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 didnt have a second choice..and that. Dessert that we took wasnt decent at all..looks like they didnt 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 dont 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!

Pro..food presentation..ambient Average....service Con...table very cramped..food taste either bland or salty...desserts nothing to remember.

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.

I opted for the vegetarian menu and am lactose intolerant - I mentioned this at the time of booking and was assured I would be catered for. Some of the substitutions I was given weren t even worthy of the high street chain restaurants I ve visited, let alone a Michelin star restaurant. I was incredibly disappointed. A bowl of boiled beans is even below the standards of lazy home cooking. One of our party does not eat beef due to religious reasons - the foie gras course is apparently served in a beef broth. This was not at all mentioned on the menu and we only came to know about this as the food was served at our table. The cavalier response from our waiter to this issue was unacceptable and beyond subpar. I expected better. There was no concern or offer to rectify the issue - until we sought help from another member of staff (a lady with short hair and glasses). One of the amuse-bouche served was a rock-hard lump of white chocolate which didn t taste anything like white chocolate due to the incredibly overpowering brine flavour of the sauce that it sat in. Overall we found the balance in most dishes lacking and felt that the chef possibly doesn t taste the completed dish once he s designed it. We received attentive service at the beginning of our dinner as we were one of 2-3 tables in the restaurant, as the restaurant got busier we were consistently neglected as clearly there was a staff shortage. This neglect included a 15+ minute wait for wine glasses to be topped up. Additionally, the food is not presented as it looks in photographs at all - clearly the presentations standards for customers in the restaurant are not the same as it is for Instagram.

We (party of 5) had the 7 course tasting menu. We arrived at the opening time of 6pm so naturally the restaurant was empty and service was on par. As the restaurant filled we were forgotten about, regularly having to signal that our wine glasses were empty (after waiting 15 mins), water was also similarly scarce as the night progressed. A menu should be very clear as to the contents of a dish as the Foie Gras came with a beef stock. A friend avoids beef for religious reasons so we had a bit of a back and forth with the waiter to secure a replacement dish. Factoring all of that the course of Foie Gras in foam, nestled in the pool of beef stock was delicious and hands down my favourite dish. It was explained that the chef likes to design their dishes as a first step in the creation process and I agree each dish looked interesting. However, the taste was interesting for different reasons as we couldn t understand the appeal of a number of dishes. The white chocolate aero (it was a lot more dense than an aero) in what looked like squid ink with caviar got worse with each spoonful. The cheese course with the ewe milk was found unpalatable by all at the table. The lamb was not as tender as I would have hoped and the tulip that accompanied it was bitter. I have to acknowledge the sorbet palette cleanser as we all really enjoyed it. Though, in hindsight that says a lot about our overall experience. The wine pairing didn t wow so much but seemed to go with each course. Finally, it s important I mention that we were seated right beside the toilets at the end of the restaurant. I would not expect the toilets to be in the middle of a Michelin star restaurant. Based on its reputation we felt sorely let down. Had it not been for my company I m not sure I would have stayed around as long as I did.

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

Absolutely fantastic experience, food to die for amazing service. Thank you for making my wifes 50th so special. Highly recommended.

Great service, food is nice but generally not extraordinary. Pretty basic flavors. Vegetarian main dish was bad.

Wonderful service, food and ambience

quiet, romantic and great service (especially the sommelier! great interactions and advice). alas, food was underwhelming.

the food was really bad- highly unrecommended- with a six meal course none of the food included protein. tried all courses which only had sauce in it

Not the best Michelin experience. We chose the 3-course menu with cocktail. The 3 people serving were very pleasant. The dishes are very good, but the quantities are very small. Particularly the veal, served without accompaniment (see photo). Fortunately there was bread. When booking, we were asked if we were coming for a particular event, we said yes, but no attention was paid to that.

I think last nights dinner here was the best meal Ive ever had (and me and my companion have eaten in fine restaurants all over the world). I live in France, but would be hard pushed to find anything as good as this.. Every mouthful from the tasting menu was delicious, with flavour combinations that really worked magic with the most beautiful ingredients. The eight course tasting menu was sheer genius. The service was excellent. Though not cheap, for a Michelin star restaurant, it represents excellent value.

Really excellent food and dining service with a good interior. 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 havent 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. Edit: came back a few years later and while service is great we felt that the value was not as good as before, this was mainly due to the menu for 2022 summer, while the place is still good we found polystyrene in one of our dishes? Again the food is very interesting and sophisticated but sometimes some of the flavour compositions were a bit too out there for our liking. Vegetarian options: Has vegetarian tasing menu

We had the Jubilee 3 course menu.The duck main course was the highlight of our meal. The bread and butter were also very good. The starter and the dessert were average. We left still feeling hungry even after a 3 course meal. The service was great and all the staff were very attentive and welcoming. Overall I had higher hopes in terms of food from a Michelin star restaurant.

Prior to coming to Club Gascon I was extremely exited to dine at a French Michelin starred restaurant in London and my expectations were extremely high. I knew I wouldn t be able to maximise my experience by opting for the tasting menu because it limits what you can eat and you end up having the same dishes as your partner or whoever you re dining with. However, I really enjoyed the restaurant and the staff treated us with the highest level of professionalism I had ever experienced in London. The tasting menu food was so clever in its presentation and flavour combinations. The starter of bread and flavoured butter was so good it left me wanting more but it would ve been too filling if I had more. The classic French flavours and methods of cooking were masterfully done by the chefs and the waiters did a great job explaining every single element on each plate. I highly recommend this restaurant but some may not enjoy it as much if they choose the tasting menu. If you are able to afford the full menu and drink pairings then this would be a Michelin starred restaurant to remember.

The good: You can see the chef pours his heart into the restaurant. His personality shines through in every little detail: the decor, flowers, and the theme of autumn that transpires through the plating and dishes. The amouse bouche gives you a wonderful taste of what s to come. The taste of autumn vegetables together with an explosion of tomatoes and melon leaves you wanting more. The highlights of this 6 course tasting menu for me were definitely the cauliflower carpaccio where every bite sings with flavor and the venison which melted in your mouth. I d like to note the thoughtfulness of the chef who offered a sauce replacement for the Guinness and oyster sauce because I was intolerant to fish and seafood. Quite a nice touch that I really appreciated. Our red wine skillfully picked by the somelier worked brilliantly with the full menu and the pink champagne was excellent. We booked this for my birthday and it was lovely to receive a hand written card from the chef and the staff, wishing me a happy birthday. I found it a very hearty and lovely touch to the experience especially since the picture on the card was drawn by one of the restaurant s staff (very talented). The interesting: The duck foie gras was an interesting one. It was the first time I tasted it warm and it felt a bit heavy for me. However, the fig and fourme and the pimm s delicacy felt tasteless in a stark contrast with the beginning of the menu. At first we thought that maybe it wasn t to our personal liking but we heard the tables around us share the same conversations that we had. Most of the staff was really friendly and fun with one exception, but we all sometimes have bad days so I can t judge. Overall it was a good experience and if you want to see the full creativity of the chef on each plate, then this is the place to go.

I had been a few times before,,and last week I took 2 Australian friends ,,we had the 6 course tasting menu...the food and service were great,,,,one of the best meals he ever had...comment from one of my friends..

Sublime. Beyond good.

The service was definitely excellent here. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing - wines were fantastic. However, we had higher hope for the food; it was alright but not as tasty as we expected.

Service was beyond excellent, food was fantastic. Will be returning. Maitre d was brilliant with wine recommendations and offered a very personal touch with his signature cocktail as well. Great experience.

The menu is so interesting, I had forgotten how sophisticated food could be after COVID. The foies gras flan was the most interesting treatment, the creamy richness of the liver was paired perfectly with thin slices of peeled cranberries. The sorbet was served on a block of Himalayan salt which added the perfect counterpoint to the sweet dessert. The cassoulet had all the rich complex flavors of the dish in a tiny artistic package. The wine pairings were outstanding, but the service puts this place at the top. Francesca was just so lovely and introduced us to the unbelievably talented and gracious chef. Club Gascon made celebrating our 20th anniversary unforgettable in the best way, they are awesome!

Exquisite food & the best service we have ever received from a London high-end restaurant. Much thanks to the team for a memorable gastronomy experience for a special occasion. We left feeling not only very full after the 8 course tasting menu, which was just truly amazing! We also left feeling it was a local restaurant that weve been going to for years...

Do ed at the restaurant a few years ago and were amazed. This time not so much. Bread and 2-3 out of 8 courses were very nice.

Very well executed south Western French cuisine. Atmosphere exceptionally starchy, service comedically haughty

I probably missed out by choosing a 6-course menu rather than the full 8. Specifically the attendant was very considerate. I wanted to avoid lactose although not strictly diary free. So they accommodated by changing certain dishes to vege. In general the vibe is good for chatting and not too formal. tastes is balanced and portion is fitness-friendly. Layout is also quite creative. Truly a feast for both stomach and eyes. Not cheap but worth a treat sometimes.

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.

This was an amazing experience! My girlfriend and I went to celebrate our graduation. We both took the 8-course menu with wine pairing and were more then happy. Great food, fun to eat and lots of new tastes. Amazing presentation and Service. Absolutly professional while still being likeable and friendly. Expecially the somelier! We would recommand anyone to come here and enjoy this amazing Dinner for any occasion!

My first visit here and highly recommended. Had the eight course tasting menu with wine pairing. Each dish was incredibly creative, beautifully presented and, above all else, tasted wonderful. The staff were attentive, very professional, and really friendly. Not remotely stuffy, as some high-end restaurants can be. It felt like a small, family-run restaurant, albeit with a Michelin star. Expensive, but worth it if you are lucky enough to be able to afford it.

Excellent in everything Perfect cuisine and hospitality

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

Superb and inventive cuisine

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 didnt 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.

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

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 goats cheese were particular highlights.

Delicious tasting menu! Wines are incredible as well! Everything was on spot, service, food, drinks, environment. Strongly recommend!

Helpful friendly staff and lovely food in a nice setting. Some surprising flavours that worked really well together.

Brilliant staff and the food is delicious

I have been to other Michelin Star restaurants but this was great. Truly a delight.

Looked fantastic but I didnt eat here I was there on a shoot playing a chef.

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.

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.

The best food, wine and service experience ever!!! The sommelier lady was incredible!

Great food

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

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

Excellent

Great dining experience. Chef is very attentive to customers experience. Make sure you mention your dietary requirements at the beginning of the meal.

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.

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.

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 .

Sublime. An expensive oasis of calm.

It s such an awesome restoration.

Perfect!

Interesting menu, good atmosphere, very experienced waiting on staff. Good value for money

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

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.

A perfect moment. Exceptional dishes. Lovely, caring staff. An accessible chef who welcomes us into the kitchen. Thank you for this beautiful and delicious evening. You fully deserve your Michelin star and this evening we are giving you 5!

Wonderful experience. Chef gave me surprise bday card and treats!

TLDR: I would suggest finding somewhere else. London is a big city with a lot of options. This doesnt 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 Valentines 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 doesnt have an encyclopedic knowledge of French wine classification. Im sure its 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 Im writing this review. The service was so very mediocre. It was busy with it being Valentines Day and all, I get it, but if you cant handle serving two seatings of the whole restaurant, maybe you shouldnt 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 wouldnt 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 didnt bother me, and again we didnt 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. Its 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 Im actually very surprised they still have a star. Maybe the Michelin Guide feels obligated to keep it this way because theyve literally named themselves after it here?

For that special evening.

One of the best meals ever. The wine pairing was excellent. Each dish was beautifully executed

It was an exciting place to be and the Chefs are all good

good place

Gascon cuisine is incredible and one of the best in the world. Fantastic atmosphere and presentation. They bring perfection to French cuisines.

Great food and the service was outstanding. I would highl recommend Club Gascon.

Fab modern French food in a more relaxed atmosphere than other Michelin starred restaurants.

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.

Overall a good experience. Food is delicious. Service need to be improved.

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.

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.

Absolutely fantastic

Nice food, nice staff, interior less fancy than expected

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.

Excellent staff, wonderful food! Absolutely a place to go for a great dinner

Wonderful taste sensations! Lovely, attentive service, always.

Wonderful food. Very relaxed but with the elegance expected in a one star Michelin. Absolutely an enjoyable experience.

I think its worthless apart from the wine list. very kind staff chef who tries hard ....... but the results are disappointing

Proper tidy X

Quaint smart and very well presented dining room, service is amazing as you would expect from a michelin starred restaurant, the menu isnt 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.

You just cant go wrong here. Never.

beautiful

Really really good

Innovative, brilliantly executed food.

A little piece of France in London

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.

Delicious

Delicious meal, with superb flavours. Attentive service. Criminally small portions. Left hungry.
