Assez surprise de ce restaurant qui au premier abord pour les touristes français n'est pas le plus accueillant, sûrement notre anglais imparfait qui a déplus à un serveur. Mais la suite du repas, fut sensationnelle !c'est tout simplement le meilleur restaurant que nous ayons pu faire durant notre semaine à Londres. Premièrement, l'ambiance est juste incroyable et typiquement anglaise, on est loins des restaurants attrapes touristes. Ensuite, la nourriture est divine pour un prix dérisoire. Tout ça nous a fait oublier le serveur quelque peu spécial.

Brasserie très sympa dans un joli coin de la ville, fish and chips très bon avec une panure très croustillante des frites et la poisson bien moelleux à l’intérieur, en revanche un petit peu déçu des frites ; mais je recommande quand même d’y aller faire un tour et de se faire son propre avis!

We visited this Brasserie while on a short break to London, this is in the heart of Soho on Old Compton Street nicely located , food was tasty and light service was great We did encounter a work group that came in and sat behind us and for the most part shouted over the music that was playing .

I went for their noon-5pm special €6.50 aperol spritz’s, got fries, an old fashion because it was a cool little smoke shoe and a toffee pudding

I was not disappointed here at all! The servers were impeccable. Smart, sophisticated, and above all, having fun. It was a pleasure to be in their company. Now the food... Jesus christ, the food is DELICIOUS! Whatever you try, your taste buds will be humming with joy. I left my bag behind (a few wines in 😆), and when I went back to get it, the staff were so helpful. I think the greeters name was Katia or Kasia... she was delightful! Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

The RUDEST experience of my life. Waiter got the deals of the menu wrong and didn’t tell us, questioned the bill and another waitress shrugged her shoulders. Eventually offered a drink on the house for the mix up and then the manager tried to charge us for the drink “on the house”. Ridiculous, avoid at all costs.

This place completely blew my mind! I’ve always thought of pub food as standard, but the grilled king prawns here were on another level. Highly recommend Old Compton for anyone looking to elevate their pub food experience. Coming back very soon for a round two!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️❤️
