    Everything was delicious. A couple of things were very rich but that's not necessarily surprising for French cuisine and a matter of personal taste. Couldn't fault the flavours, quality, execution and presentation. Service was also brilliant 👏 The chocolate torte to end was delicious 😋

    It was a real pleasure to serve you on the day Madame, we hope to see you soon, regards,m

    The food was predictable and fine, and service was attentive. Quite expensive for what it is.

    Recommended. The food is above average and mostly tasty. I was impressed by the anchovies mixed butter. It increased the umami. Our appetisers were fruits de mer and beef tartare. They are fresh and delicious. Nothing surprised but as good as expected. My boyfriend had a sea bass and I had rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was cooked very tender. I think I will be coming back for the rabbit meat.

    Creamy baked dessert topped with deep red sorbet, featuring a golden caramelized base and a touch of elegance from wilted roses.
    Rich chocolate brownie served with creamy vanilla ice cream, topped with powdered sugar and garnished with candied nuts, accompanied by a chocolate wafer stick.
    Braised beef in a rich dark sauce, served with creamy potato puree, topped with crispy kale and fried onion spirals.
    Tender lamb or goat in a rich broth, accompanied by herb and grain stuffing, whole beans, and nuts for added texture and flavor.

    the meal was alright had the cassoluet for the main I was expecting something more here I thought it would be richer a little let down. the dessert was good chocolate torte log. my colleague and the beef for the main which was much better. I think cost wise the dishes are expensive for what they were.

    I come fairly regularly and take friends who invariably are impressed. But last Saturday night was not up to the usual standard, I’m not sure why. It was very full I was glad to see

    Le VacherinOwner

    Dear customer, thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated. We asked throughout the meal if the main courses you had ordered were up to standards and your guest many times answered yes, you did smile. When you arrived ,you specifically wanted a table by the window, but you requested a quiet table instead ( On a Saturday night). While we were checking the availability of the above table, you even started walking towards it like it was granted. We couldn't give you the table unfortunately and you stated you were upset: we couldn't understand why as you never requested that table but now we know why the review is not specific about the standards that have allegedly fallen. Thank you for being happy about the full restaurant.

    We were very impressed with Le Vacherin. Best restaurant experience so far in Chiswick/Acton. The cheese soufflé was particularly delicious. Nice and quiet on a Sunday evening also.

    Thank you so much for your words, it was nice to see you again.

    Always a pleasure to visit Vacherin. We have favourite dishes but decided to explore the menu and try something new. This was very successful. We now have 3 starters and 3 mains that are must-haves and will find it very diffiicult to choose between them on our next visit

    Le VacherinOwner

    Thank you for exploring, we hope to see you again soon. Marco

    We had a lovely lunch at Le Vacherin. The food and service was excellent. I would like to comment that it is a shame that the management ot the restaurant will not take digital copy of vouchers and was totally inflexible about it. As I dont have a printer I was disadvantaged.

    Le VacherinOwner

    The hard copy is the only way we have to track whether the offer was redeemed before visiting the restaurant. It also allows us to quantify the volumes through the website. Management has applied company policy; we passed your comments to ownership. Thank you so much for your feedback and the lovely words you have spent for food and service.

    The service was excellent from start to finish but it’s the food at Le Vacherin that warrants 10 out of 10. We had the set lunch menu and all started with deliciously fragrant escargots (it’s the garlic butter that’s irresistable!) followed by the rib of beef (which melted off the bone) and sea bream, garnished with plump Cornish mussels and a buttery oyster sauce - sublime! Crème brûlée (with a proper hard topping

    Braised short rib in a rich sauce, served with sautéed greens, garnished with diced carrots and crispy kale, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes.
    An assortment of five cheeses, including a creamy soft cheese, a firmer smooth cheese, and a crumbly blue cheese, accompanied by a sweet fruit chutney and crisp celery sticks.
    Freshly baked roll with a crusty exterior and soft interior, served with creamy, spreadable butter.
    Escargots in herb-infused garlic butter sauce, showcasing plump snails with a savory flavor profile.

    Hadil provided great service. Great lamb main and snails for starter! Cheese was also delicious. I would visit again. You can even buy cheese online from their shop.

    White fish topped with a rich, creamy sauce, accompanied by mussels, garnished with green sea beans and scattered black pearls for an elegant seafood presentation.
    Terrine of finely chopped meat with a smooth pink exterior, served with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and a sweet, tangy fruit chutney, garnished with microgreens.

    Another great visit to Le Vacherin. The stone bass was nice but unfortunately the veloute was watery I guess from the water from vegetable or mussels which broke the sauce. We should have mentioned it but didn’t want to complain. Rest of the food was very good. Service as professional as in previous visits.

    Le VacherinOwner

    Dear customer, Thank you for the honest feedback and the gracious words you have spent on the restaurant, the food, and the service. Next time, please tell us, and we will correct any shortcomings on the day. Warmest regards, the team.

    overall experience still good but sirloin although cooked as requested, was pretty tough , quality not as good as it used to be. Slightly disappointed this time, unfortunately.

    Le VacherinOwner

    Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback. It would have been helpful to receive it at the moment of dining so we could have corrected any shortcomings on the night.

    Vanilla ice cream with powdered sugar and a dark chocolate stick, paired with a pastry cup of rich chocolate mousse topped with caramelized nuts.
    Braised beef in a rich sauce, served with creamy puree, roasted root vegetables, and sautéed leafy greens.
    Terrine made with finely chopped meats, garnished with diced carrots and herbs, served with a slice of rustic grain bread.
    Delicate slices of salmon garnished with radishes, cucumber, crispy seaweed, creamy sauce, edible flowers, and microgreens, all enhanced by a savory drizzle.

    Game terrine came with good pickles and chutneys. Beef rib fell off the bone. Chocolate dessert was unctuous and gooey.

    The service was not great. We were given the menus promptly but it took ages for them to come and take our order and we had to ask them to do so. There were only two of us, but for both courses they had got the orders the wrong way around. We certainly did not feel like cherished customers. Disappointingly the food was not great either. Given that it was quite a limited menu I had expected it to be very good, . My Scallops were a bit chewy as was the monkfish. A shame as we had both been very much looking forward to trying this restaurant.

    Dear customer we did try to contact you with no success, regards

    Having visited this restaurant many times in the past, I confess to express my reserved disappointment in the front of house service on this occasion. I was first served a cocktail with an exposed chip in it that could have caused me injury had I not noticed, the waiting staff were massively undertrained and inexperienced due to spilled beverages, lack of attention to detail and incorrectly noted drink orders. Had this been my first time visiting this restaurant, I would regretfully not be returning. My experience was saved only by what appeared to be the manager in waiting and another far more experienced member of staff. The food was exceptional and took the spotlight! Compliments to the chef and team!

    Certainly! Here's a sample restaurant review: --- I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Vacherin chiswick, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff provided attentive service, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly and with genuine friendliness. The restaurant also boasts a nice ambiance, with a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that made the evening truly enjoyable. I highly recommend La Vacherin to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

    Excellent menu, we’ve been a number of times and the food is always delicious. I had the soufflé with beetroot sorbet which was amazing followed by roasted partridge. My guests had the Châteaubriand which they said was fantastic. We shall be back soon.

    We look forward to serving you again soon, your words about the food served made us happy.

    The souffle was even more delicious than usual. The balance of hot and cold elements was magical. Mains were delicious with a lovely sauce. And filling. This restaurant has never disappointed us

    We wanted to innovate with the sorbet idea and it is paying off, thank you so much for the feedback, it is what we want

    Creamy orange soup, likely made from roasted carrots or butternut squash, elegantly swirled with cream and garnished with microgreens.
    Roasted cauliflower steak with a golden crust, topped with fresh herb sauce and surrounded by citrus slices, served in a light citrus-infused sauce and garnished with edible flowers.
    Vanilla ice cream served with a spiced wafer, crunchy caramelized nut brittle, and rich chocolate mousse, creating a balanced dessert.

    The food was salty for one of my guests. One of my guests wanted some mushrooms on the side of his fish. He also complained that his fish was overcooked. The wine selection was good.
