Richard Weiss, iconic restaurateur and sommelier, returns to London’s West End with Saint Jacques restaurant. A relaxed and discrete chic bistro setting, Saint Jacques makes the perfect venue for breakfast, a convivial lunch, early evening cocktail or intimate dinner to savour.

Bringing new life to St James’s with classic French dishes and modern creations, the Saint Jacques seasonal menu blends tradition and innovation to suit all tastes – from Richard’s legendary tableside prepared Steak Tartare to a decadent fondant au chocolat.

    As always, we were warmly welcomed - and enjoyed a delicious meal. Sitting at a round table provides for greater conviviality. Thank you!

    Fabulous value set lunch, charcuterie, duck, tuna, apple tart with ice cream - all topped off with faultless service. Is this the type of restaurant from a bygone age of attention to detail in a discrete but comfortable environment? 100%. And that's a very good thing - rarely achieved this well these days.

    Lovely place for breakfast. Good Eggs Royale. I will return! Must be even better on the terrace when the weather is warmer.

    Really quiet on a Saturday night. Food wasn’t so tasty. Pheasant and beef main are really average especially. Wines were nice.

    Classic restaurant in the modern French brasserie style. All dishes are well executed using excellent seasonal produce. And a very good wine list to go with it. Service was very good, attentive when necessary.
