Brasserie Vacherin - Croydon

We went for Sunday brunch. I was very disappointed. Slow service, mediocre, overpriced food. I've been here in the evenings and it was ok but this wasn't a good experience. Took 45 minutes to get our starters

I have been here before and had a reasonable meal, but well off course today (a Sunday). Kitchen seemed to have some issues getting food out in reasonable time. Out of a few dishes (including veggie risotto - how do you run out of that ?). Far too much pepper on the burgers, steak hache (suspiciously like the burger) and roast beef. Front of house did their best but hard to impress when food comes so slowly

Had dinner and drinks here for my boyfriends birthday. Food and service were brilliant. Nice setting too and great location. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Yummy food and professional service. I will definitely come back. Nice and quiet location. Perfect for romantic dinner with your partner. Prawns and mussels were very tasty.

We found the staff very friendly and accommodating when we asked to move because of traffic noise at the front of the restaurant. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals all perfectly cooked.

we came here for my sisters birthday. The food was excellent and appetising and good value for money. The service was excellent. I will come again.

Wonderful evening, the best restaurant in Croydon for sure. Celebrated my birthday and it was all delicious especially the chocolate fondant and praline ice cream! Excellent service too, thoroughly recommend this place

Food and wine were very good, quiet and efficient service, good prices. Slightly noisy environment as the front doors were permanently open onto the main road. Will go again.

went there on a Monday for their steak club deal (50% off) only to be told they had no fillet steak or chateaubriand so limited choice therefore which @ 1/2 price was good value for money but too expensive otherwise especially in relation to dish size which varied significantly. Vegetables served al dente (good) but swimming in oil (again portions on the small side). Desserts ok but totally unexceptional. Service charming but amateurish This small chain of restaurants (also use the Chiswick branch) which was so good has steadily deteriorated over the last few years and whilst Croydon is a culinary desert we won't revisit.

We've had breakfast here twice now and both times have been fantastic. The food is great quality, the service a little slow but friendly. Will be returning

Great food and service as always. Lovely to be able to have the doors open last night as was so warm. Crab ravioli starter was delicious. This was the First time I didn't have the twice baked soufflé which is one of my favourite starters of all time. My husband enjoyed his Scallops followed by duck. Staff are great. Why the missing star? Smarten your ladies loo up! I shudder every time I go in there. One of the two taps has been broken for months the soaps dispensers are covered in gunk, the cheap plastic seat wobbles and the whole area needs a lick of paint. Malcolm John probably has never visited it he needs to take a look next time!

Wonderful food, excellent service, lovely surroundings. They get it just right. This is our favourite place locally and we will go back again and again

Outstanding meal - great value and excellent service. The scallop starter was superb as was the sole. Very good wine at a very reasonable price. Will definitely go back.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good food and wine. It's downfall was the time it took to get our food.... this was disappointing as we missed out on a pudding as we had somewhere else to be. Otherwise, very good

Great food and courteous and efficient service. Nice music and atmosphere. We would definitely book again. Used a 15% off voucher which was good value.

We were provided with the menu and ordered drinks, then when the waiter came back to take our order we were told that there was no fish whatsoever on the menu. They explained that this was because their supplier had failed to deliver anything that day, however why they decided to tell us that fully 20 minutes after we arrived is a mystery. We then had to finish our drinks (which came to £50 with no discount offered for the inconvenience) and find another restaurant nearby. To be fair, they were deeply apologetic, but it's still wholly unsatisfactory to not be told about the absence of any fish on the menu immediately upon arrival. I have eaten there before and found the food and service to be very good, but I will not be going back after this experience

Saturday lunch with a friend, restaurant pretty quiet, menu choices ok, service good, waiting time for mains a but long, food very average, annoying other table of young ladies constantly playing back loud music videos, probably would not return.

We went there to celebrate a birthday, we ordered off the a la carte menu, the food was excellent and the service was outstanding! Would definitely recommend it as one of the best restaurants I have been to in South Croydon

Food & wine very good as usual. Was very busy, so a bit slow, so they took our Champagne aperitif off the bill. You can rely on them to great and if they fall below usual standards, to make it up to you, by a complimentary item or two. Great place.

Great foot and really impressive service - a great place to go out and have a first class evening meal. Recommended to anyone in Croydon.

Always a good experience at Brasserie Vacherine. Nice friendly staff good service and a willingness to go the extra mile like accommodating special requirements the food is always good and that is why we keep going back. Highly recommend this eaterie.

A very nice evening all round with lovely food, very quaffable wine, good service and a relaxed ambience. I will definitely be going back in the not too distant future.

Had a very nice lunch with my wife from the fixed price menu. The surroundings and vibe and of the restaurant is refined and relaxing. The food was excellent and represented good value. Service was friendly, efficient and non intrusive. Great experience.

First time visiting this brasserie and we were well satisfied with both service and quality of food. Only disappointment is that vegetables were charged as extra but prices were realistic.

Brasserie Vacherin never disappoints. The food is great, unfussy and flavourful, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. It has the perfect balance between being up-market and relaxed.

One of the best breakfast I've ever eaten. Fresh high quality ingredients perfectly cooked. Would recommend and can't wait to go back for Eggs Benedict

Very pleasant evening with accommodating staff, good service and great food. There were seven of us and a toddler with two requiring 'special' meals as needed to be gluten, wheat and dairy and garlic free!

Starter was not the usual high standard Really salty main course. Probably a different chef that night. It's usually brilliant there. The waitress you can't fault her, excellent.

Excellent food and excellent service! Best dauphinois potatoes this side of Paris! Lovely table and great selection of drinks to accompany our meal. Highly recommended for a romantic evening.

Very good service. Food is very nicely presented and of good quality.. But very empty on a Wed lunchtime so no atmosphere. Probably over priced for the location.

Had a meal here with 5 friends from work. We went for the Steak/Frites deal and a pudding. The food was cooked really well. Recommend this restaurant to couples or larger groups.

Boyfriend and I loved it. Best restauarnt we have been to together. Ordered the squid and onion soup, followed by steak and frites. Cocktails are awesome too

Excellent menu. Excellent staff. A real Brasserie menu, beautifully cooked and impeckably served. Currently they are running a number of very good deals that includes Saturday and Sunday service

A very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings . Service was excellent too. The opportunity to take your own wine without a corkage charge, which applies on Thursdays, makes it all the more affordable.

We were not allowed to swap chips for mash on one of the specials - very petty. Not good customer service and we will think twice before going back

Lovely food and lovely service. They were very accommodating! We had 2 courses each and shared a dessert- food came quite quickly and we were given lovely warm bread to keep us going. Espresso martinis were perfect!

This restaurant was great. I was slightly early for our table, which wasn't a problem, and the waiting staff couldn't do enough for us. We ordered from the set menu but my friend wanted to swap something within it and we weren't charged extra. Definitely coming back here again.

Fantastic night out at the always reliable Brasserie Vacherin topped off by a conversation with the main man himself, Malcolm John. We'll be back soon. Tim

We all had a very enjoyable evening. The food was of a very high standard, the staff were lovely and we felt very relaxed. Altogether a great night out.

An enjoyable Sunday lunch for two! Four courses (we shared the pudding and cheese) with apperatives and wine for a very reasonable price. Very good value.
