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.

Saint Jacques’ interior amalgamates the characteristics of a warm traditional brasseries with a vibrant and fresh aesthetic. Key features include the light and airy main dining area, where the clean and organic design coupled with the floral artwork complements the local and seasonal ingredients used. Our French windows then open onto our courtyard, a tranquil oasis of a kind rarely found in Central London.

    As a regular dinner at Saint Jacques, I find it hard to write something different in that I seem to be asked to complete a survey for every visit. But the reason for the repeat visits are simply to do with the fact I enjoy every meal at St. Jacques, for the menu, service and welcome.

    Saint Jacques is one of London's gems, the food is always terrific, the staff warm and friendly, and most important of all the tables are well spaced apart - so that one can enjoy a decent conversation with friends and fellow guests: rare to find today!
