We chose this in preference to La Trompette/Hedone and it is not disappointingly ordinary at all but a restaurant that is conscientiously doing what it is obviously good at, namely unflashy French cooking. Four of us had the prix fixe menu on Saturday and we all enjoyed ourselves despite the fact that it was so quiet - but we did not arrive until 2.00pm. Affordable and intelligent wine list is a bonus in London. Andrea, the Maitre D' (?), was welcoming and attentive.

As usual we had delishous food. The only reason for not giving top marks is a minimalistic inclusion of new world wines in the list.Over all we had regały good evening complemented by excellent service.

Excellent service, and beautifully cooked and presented food. A throughly enjoyable lunch today. We mixed and matched from the A La Carte and Prix Fixe menus, with coffee to follow, and were pleasantly surprised with the bill.

Food was excellent but the ambiance and service were a little off. Oddly we were seated originally beside the only other people in the restaurant! Weird.

Elegant restaurant well suited to a special occasion with its white linen tablecloths, French food and leisurely service. Useful option of a 500ml carafe of wine. Fig tart unusual and gorgeous. So pleased to have Le Vacherin within a 5 minute drive.

Food was excellent, but service was patronising, very uncomfortable. We decided not to pay service charge and they tried to charge us anyway. Not good!

We really like Le Vacherin so much. The food is very good but our experience last week was not quite up to scratch. The service was not as attentive as we would have liked. Hopefully it was just one of those evenings.

It was great to get seated at short notice on a Friday night, and the food and atmosphere were lovely, but the service that night was a little bit... rushed, almost offhand? It was a struggle to catch our waiter's eye to order drinks. Still one of my favourite local restaurants but they've done better.

Top class food - Daube de boeuf was delicious & freshly made fig tart, out of this world ! Great wine list too. Slightly mixed on service but that is sometimes the French way. Will certainly be back soon.

Fantastic atmosphere, unpretentious and friendly. The cocktails are fabulous (try The Negroni with Prosecco), the food is delicious, well balanced with fantastic flavours. If you appreciate good food, Le Vacherin is totally worth it. Great for any occasion, and sure to impress most who enjoy good food.

Superb food - over time they have provided consistently high quality cuisine (at least a dozen visits now). Service can be a little erratic but it is worth it! With a provencal influence - the Lamb was delicious.

We come all the way from Marylebone and it is very well worth the journey! The food is wonderful, the wines are not ridiculously expensive and the setting opposite the green is perfect!

Our waiter seemed flustered and incapable of delegating to the other staff, so our lunch wasn't as relaxing as it could have been. The food didn't live up to expectations.

Great experience at LeVacherin Sat eve. - a few tables occupied but filled more from 8.30pm . Interesting decor / art to admire. Attentive , pleasant but not over bearing staff. Food delicious - highlights - anchovy butter with bread , Gruyere soufflé , dauphinoise potato sides crab linguine. From a distance the cote de boeuf & cote de veau looked amazing , carved at your table for added theatre - we will opt for one of those next time to share. No room for puds but they sounded strong ! Will return ! Anna & Mark

Small but full of flavour portions. The service was painful to experience. Slow and ignorant. We were told the only window table left was reserved, but they then sat a walk-in there 2 minutes later!!

The food was excellent and the service was very good on the whole if not slightly unfriendly from one of the male waiters. When we booked my husband mentioned that one of the party was gluten free but no gluten free options were offered including no gluten free bread. Sea bream delicious and the Hereford rump steak was cooked to perfection and really tender and tasty. All of our starters were very good - poached pears and blue cheese salad was excellent. This is about the sixth time my family, family members, have dined at Le Vacherin and I would highly recommend it.

A wonderful eating experience. Have been going there since it opened and have never had a bad experience. I was disappionted with the game pie as it had mashed potatoes on the top , no pastry, but the meat was delicious.

The evening started with mojitos which were made with brown granulated sugar rather than sugar syrup, so a bit crunchy. The starters of scallops (2 only) and venison were tasty but very small portions. The partridge was mostly inedible and impossible to get off the bone and the ravioli (2 only) was lovely but the portion size too small. Service was a bit slow. Wine was good, but never once was my water glass refilled. The manager apologised and took the partridge off the bill but did question my wife if she'd eaten partridge before, a bit rude I thought. Shame it wasn't better and really I'm not sure about their Michelin star.

Service was pretty slow and it took a while to order drinks, and then again for food. We were given 'complimentary' prosecco when our drinks came over and were then charged for it. We both ordered steak for our mains, and although cooked well it was extremely chewy and I had to leave half of it. I didn't complain, but wouldn't return.

The flagship of the three Malcolm John restaurants (the other two are Brasserie Vacherin in Sutton and Croydon). Food and atmosphere is more upmarket - and also the prices! Faultless cooking and service, only downside if that the tables are very close together - even the waiters could not pass each other walking between them. Otherwise, could have been a 6.

We visited with a TravelZoo Sunday dinner voucher and had a lovely evening! Perfect service, delicious food - and they were kind enough to let us order mussels from the fixed lunch menu also :) Great Travelzoo deal, would recommend. A range of wines available and good cocktail selection. Only downside was the atmosphere - a little quiet as a sunday evening

A gem of a restaurant. Food is A1, the Chateaubriand steak was probably the best steak I have ever had. The crab linguine appetiser is not to be missed either. Service is very good and discrete. Wine selection very good albeit a little pricey and a good range of liqueurs. One for a special occasion. The service on the floor is second to none and very personal. Well done!
