Food was excellent- the best I’ve known at Le Vacherin

A really delicious lunch from the Prix Fixe menu. We would initially have liked the a la Carte option, but we found things we liked and for me, the Gravadlax, rib-eye steak and tarte tatin were all glorious. My friend said her calve's liver and bacon dish was sublime. All washed down with a couple of glasses of excellent wines (her) and fabulous red grape juice (me). We'll be back very soon.

Such a great little find, such a perfect place to catch up with friends and have a lovely meal. This place is ideal to have something to eat before you go to Kew Gardens. It’s about five minutes away from the tube station five minutes away from Kew Gardens. The stuff there are inviting, knowledgeable about the food and just adds to the whole experience. The food was so tasty, we could not decide whether to go for the monkfish and prawn curry, we asked the staff for their opinion and he explained it to us and when it came, we were glad we went with his choice. It was so good. We also had the fish and chips. I loved the curry sauce that came with it.

The wild mushrooom pate was a delight! The sauces with the main courses of fish ( wife) and chicken for me…….ooh la la …tasty. Nice place, friendly staff , good food …yup all round good experience!
