I haven't had a chance to visit when they have a music program on as well but I can imagine they are great nights. If you aren't a big drinker (like me) tell one of the super knowledgeable staff and they will hook you up with a great drink. Made a friend or two the night I visited and we ended up having some brandy, it was fun and very French. Came here solo and it was a great place to enjoy myself, sitting at the bar and making some new acquaintances. Can't wait to come back here, hopefully on a night they have music.

I was hoping for a much better meal based on the Google reviews for this place…read more It's a small French bistro in Spitalfields. The staff are friendly and genuinely French. Their food was underwhelming. I ordered the Escargots and the mussels mariniere. The escargots were well executed. They came in a butter/garlic sauce that was too salty. The mussels were 1/4 unopened. The sauce was watery and not memorable. The mussels that did open were soggy and not super fresh. The bread served with this dish was slightly stale and did not naturally soak up the mussel sauce.

Le Grand Jeu (for two) comes with a house salad, confit duck leg, chargrilled breast, pan roasted breast, a duck burger, and two sides. The duck burger is worth the price of admission alone. Definitely within the top 5 best burgers I've ever had. The confit leg was also great. Of the breasts, the chargrilled was better, but was also significantly fattier. For sides, we got the frites (and paid extra for truffle oil, which was definitely worth it) and bread with duck fat butter. Amazing fries. Great duck fat butter. Everything here was just amazing. It's a newer place, but I hope they stick around. The space is gigantic. There's tons of seating. And our waiter George was great! Review #3,300!

I feel this once great restaurant has lost it's way. The food is still excellent. But a…read morecombination of small errors conspire against the good food. Classic marble decor, with 10m ceilings, but still a bit dark with full sun outside. And the flat stone walls reflect sound, so with the 60 ground floor seats and 20 first floor seats... It's not that quiet. Commercialisation is creeping in, with the Galvin name etched on each water bottle and each wine glass. And little cards on each table advertising: "Sunday Roast, SALE, Lunch, 3 courses and a 375ml carafe of wine!" Even the final printed bill reminds you of the lunch specials at both restaurants owned by Galvin. Servers were mostly excellent, though a few were not completely familiar with the menu, "Where is this butter from?" "It's English butter." Thanks. Very informative. We're in England. Anf why can't I cut the duck breast? Oh. It's not the duck, which is cooked perfectly, it's the dull steak knife. Really? Lost it's way. I'll return, but not soon. Maybe they'll find their way before then. 2025 09 01. M1. 248.

They didn't have heat in this place so it was COLD, the waitress could barely speak English (which is not such a big deal but she didn't even know the menu) and guess what? If it's not even cold outside and people are eating fondue and raclette, you need more than some tea lights to heat the food to edible standards. Epic fail, epic dislike.

Recently I went to the new residency in Leicester House of Le Bun UK with some friends…read more Le Bun team turned Leicester House into a temporary diner for a few weeks until they opened a new residency in a different address. Le Bun offers a selection of American burgers based on some French classic recipes and ingredients. Everything on the menu sounded great and tasty: "pigeon & foie gras", "truffle Mayo", "Bourguignon glaze"... I'm stopping the list as I am starting to drool right now ! Two of us ordered the truffle cheeseburger, one of us had the duck bun and the last one challenged himself with the truffle double double with extra "bacon salt". When the food arrived we were told they had sold out of bacon salt so my friend had a huge slice of bacon in the burger instead which made the whole burger look gigantic. On the side we had two fries with signature truffle Mayo and a few cocktails. The cocktail's names and what seemed to be their origin were quite interesting. My New Yorker friend and I went for the Super Skinny Bitch cocktail which she never heard of before despite the fact it mentioned New York next to it. Our other friends had a few lagers and a Drive Thru Bubblegum Daiquiri. The Cocktails were all great and not too pricey. Back to the food, the truffle cheeseburger was just amazingly faultless. The juicy meat was perfectly cooked with a generous slice of melted cheese and huge amount of truffle Mayo. My friend and I regretted we didn't order the truffle double double like our friend because to be honest even if it was surely full of fatty meat, cheese and bun, it was actually light in taste and very easy to eat...maybe to quick to eat too! The fries were simple but good but the portion was a bit small. Again what made the difference was the succulent truffle mayonnaise, we did requested some extra for the table. The duck bun was in my opinion great too with a slightly juicy pulled confit duck. My boyfriend who ordered it thought it was less good than a Frenchie's confit duck burger. We ended our meal with their delicious tarte satin. Their residency ends this weekend on the 22nd of May at Leicester House so I would highly recommend you go and try their delicious burger otherwise you will have to wait for their next pop up.

I had a Groupon for their Sunday buffet, and it sounded like a great deal, but it's NOT WORTH IT!! The service were dicks, they only wanted you order drinks, and the buffet was LAME. It was nice, but there weren't a lot of options, and it wasn't so much a buffet as it was a few tables with food laid out on them. THEN they had the BALLS to charge us a service fee and an entry fee!! Our "good deal" ended up being a TOTAL bust. Do NOT go there. Also, who goes to a chain place like this and orders a £1000 bottle of champagne??? WHY IS THAT EVEN ON THE MENU! Stop trying to pretend you are a classy french restaurant. You aren't.

We were literally trying to get the waiters attention from the moment we got there... actually make that before we even walked in the door. They didn't even ask how the meal was = this isn't a macca's and for the prices the service has a lot more to ask for... With extras included this didn't turn out to be a very good deal at all, especially considering half of my steak was left on my plate and I had to eat 1/4 of my friends instead. They never received our service fee which was sneakily included into the bill and i was not ashamed to walk away without paying it. I would NEVER pay full prices there - it was overpriced - give me GAUCHOS anyday...
