Le Vieux Comptoir - London

This was by far the worst dining experience we have ever had. The manager informed us at 9pm that we needed to order by 9.30pm before the kitchen closed, which we did. However, he proceeded to make casual insults and act inappropriately while rushing through the service. He then abruptly announced that the restaurant would be closing at 10.30pm due to licensing laws. My main course was taken away before I had finished it, and the bill was presented to me while I was still chewing my food. My date, who the manager had flirted with earlier, was shocked by the audacity and rudeness we experienced. I would recommend avoiding this French version of Faulty Towers unless you are looking for an alternative to a local comedy club.

We recently gathered to honor an old friend at one of his preferred eateries. The restaurant truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly, efficient, and attentive the entire time. The food was top-notch, the wine choices extensive, and the prices fair considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.

We stumbled upon this charming restaurant by chance recently, and what a wonderful find it was! The staff was very welcoming and the interior was beautifully decorated. Although we only stopped in for drinks, the atmosphere and ambience were fantastic, with excellent coffee and wine. We will definitely remember this place for our next visit to this part of London.

I really love Le Vieux Comptoir. The food is always delicious and served in a wonderful way in a beautiful room. Dependably reliable. I am always delighted to eat here and highly recommend it.

I went to Le Vieux Comptoir with a friend for a long overdue catch up and the restaurant is a wonderful hidden gem. I 'm not usually a red wine person, but the Malbec was one of the best I 've had! We had a delicious cheese charcuterie board to start which came with a basket of bread. We both ordered the Confit de Canard which rivalled one I recently had in Paris. And the service was wonderful. The staff were friendly, welcoming and made lovely conversation The thing which really ruined our evening was a woman and her friends (see KKSpecialAgent 's review below). When the staff came to clear their plates she responded by saying 'she could have made better at home ' just incredibly rude. Why didn 't she say something before they cleared their plates?! They politely thanked her for her feedback and offered her some bread or a replacement meal, which she declined, before complaining to her friends that she was still hungry. She then spent at least 20 minutes complaining incredible loudly to her friends and all members of staff who came by her table, which ruined the evenings of everyone around her. When the bill came she complained loudly again at the cost, which was very reasonable given three of them had wine, starters and mains. She was so rude that when she went to the bathroom her friends apologised to the staff on her behalf. Honestly, a horrible woman who really impacted my evening! She could have quietly said if there was something wrong with her meal and the restaurant would happily have provided an alternative. Her review is not reflective of the restaurant at all!
