L'Escargot acts as a tribute to modern art, with Chagall, Miro, Matisse and Hockney hanging on the walls. Picasso has his own room upstairs. The interior compliments the food, which is French and consists of risotto, rabbit, wild mushrooms and cheese. There is an extensive wine list to wash it all down with. Catering for private parties of up to 60 guests is available upon request. The restaurant has a Michelin star.

Reviews for L'Escargot

One of Londons top French restaurants apparantly. There's nothing really wrong with this place, it's just on my visit the food didn't really have the "X factor" that one would expect from an establishment such as this.
I had the mackerel escabeche to start, which was most agreeable and on par with anything you'd find in Provence. But my duck leg confit with cassoulet main course was only passable, I ate it all (of course!) but really did lack a real depth and complexity of flavour, but maybe I'm being too harsh, after all we were there on a very busy evening. As you'd expect the wine list is top notch and the service excellent, though a companion asking for allergy information found our waiter somewhat abrupt.
