We had lunch in the cafe and it was very good indeed. Service was friendly and good.

I love this restaurant but their back bar is filthy. The mirrors and shelves are covered in dust and that’s where the glasses for your cocktails are served from. I told them before but they haven’t done anything about it. Walk by the bar and see for yourself.

I’ve been coming here for years and have never had less than a 5 star experience. Service, food and atmosphere is fanstastic. Special shout-out to our waiter Mohammed this evening, superb service. :)

Oh no — Brasserie Zédel has gone downhill!
I came last Thursday 27th February. The first thing I noticed was poor reception at the cloakroom. The woman was completely frosty and acted like she couldn't care less. Not at all welcoming!
To cap that, upon returning my items later in the evening she didn't remember my bobble hat – luckily I remembered and she went back a second time...
The restaurant had an unfriendly, unwelcoming woman on the door as well – acting as though she was thinking, 'What are you doing here?' (despite the fact that I was among rhe smartest dressed). She was completely without a smile – totally unlike the brilliant, warm welcomes I've had from men on the door in the past ten years. Maybe psychology is at play (!) but the welcome should be consistent.
Then, for the first time ever, I was moved from my table after two hours, but as I was by then alone I didn't mind too much. It was just surprising as in the past I've always stayed all night (despite the bookings being only for two hours). The guys at the bar were very friendly and looked after me, which was nice. And I always have something to read with me. It just added to an 'off' evening.
I had the prix fixe with two courses (chopped steak americain, and rhubarb coupe). I'm a seasoned and keen cook, and would say the spinach was lacking flavour; it needed nutmeg and lemon. The peppercorn steak and frites were delicious, each cooked perfectly (perfect 'medium' steak and a fab crunch on the frites).
Unfortunately the rhubarb coupe was bland and needed a little vanilla bean or similar. In addition I had expected a warm dessert not an ice – I have sensitive teeth. The menu doesn't reveal that it is very cold (I had imagined stewed rhubarb).
Finally, the musicians didn't seem that great this time (I'm involved in professional music) and didn't seem to play well known songs as much as random things. It also seemed an odd sound quality that night – they weren't so audible.
The dining room is superb – I always love being in such magnificent Art Deco surroundings, so I always look forward to my visits. However I really hope it's not like this next time...

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Brasserie Zédel last week! From the moment we arrived at the reception, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, Syed, took such great care of us, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The restaurant manager also handled a small incident at our table with professionalism and kindness, which made us feel truly valued as guests. The atmosphere, food, and service were all top-notch. We’ll definitely be back again!

Ate there with my friends. The portions are minuscule for the price, the waitress was impolite. The service charge 15%. Very high. It should be optional. I didnt want to make a scene in front of friends .Not worth it. I will not go back

We were sat in front of utterly unnecessary and loud live music. The space is already loud with hard surfaces and this meant my dining companion and I could not hear each other or engage in conversation. We requested to be moved, but it all seemed too hard for the staff, so while the meal was fine, the entire experience was ruined. I have always enjoyed Ziedel, but I will not return.

Amazing service and very rasty food! The only thing that was missing, was the very low volume on the sound from the lovely band. A very vintage atmosphere overall. Don't miss the desert 'baked Alaska'.

Considering the location the food was acceptable albeit a tad pricey. This was more than made up for by the quality of the service and the excellent ambience

Ieri sera sono stata a cena con la mia famiglia in questo ristorante. Ambiente elegante e raffinato, cucina francese di alta qualità, cibo eccellente. Personale molto disponibile, preparato e di grande accoglienza. Musica live non invadente, accompagna la serata e ti permette di conversare con i tuoi commensali. Location centrale, a due passi da Piccadilly

Amazing food, a fantastic restaurant apart from a small glitch with my order, the wonderful diligent staff ensures you are well looked after at every course of your meal. Cristina looked after me very well, highly recommended

Simply superb in all aspects: decor, ambiance, food service. Would give10 stars rather than only 5. This is real "fin de siècle" Parisian, mixed with Art Deco, where you might expect Marcel Proust to appear at any minute!

Fish soup with lots of seafood (various fish chunks, baby octopus, mussels, clams and shrimps) and shellfish .. very delicious and tasty. The baguette served came very creamy butter. The house wife is slightly pricey but taste great…the serving is 175 ml glass, larger than the regular 135 ml in most other restaurants. Service of staff was great too.
