Simply one of the best Brasseries in town, exciting, upbeat, straightforward and amicable. You want good food, smiley faces and Mayfair cocktails? Than this is the place to be right now! Well done!

Came here as a group of four. Lovely atmosphere, great food and wine, and attentive service. The food we had included pork belly, scallops, lamb and steak which were all delicious. The snails were less good (sauce was not very tasty, and more difficult than usual to remove from their shell) but this really is the only criticism we have. Thank you for a lovely evening, we'll definitely be coming back!

Great food, fabulous range of cocktails, attentive staff and live music to add to the ambiance. Would recommend a visit, particularly to order the squid and a white russian!

Four of us visited the Brasserie Vacherin to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday as it's one of her favourite restaurants. It was the first visit for me. We were greeted promptly and with a smile and chose a table by the window. They took our drinks order quickly and gave us some lovely bread with anchovy butter. We didn't have to wait long for the first course which all of us thoroughly enjoyed. The wild mushroom and chestnut pastry dish I had was delicious and perfectly cooked and my mum said she'd never tasted a better onion soup. Unfortunately after this things went awry. It took nearly an hour to bring the main course and nobody came to explain or apologise which is a shame as had they done so this would be a 6 point rating but that lack of good customer service really let the side down for all of us. The main courses were as excellent as the starters but we didn't bother with dessert because of the delay which was just as well as we also had difficulty in getting someone to take our payment. Perhaps this is the outcome of a restaurant including the service charge automatically as they know that no matter how they treat their customers it'll get paid anyway. Perhaps our experience isn't the norm and I would return as the food was so good but if the service is poor again that'll be the last time.

A great winelist and an interesting menu with daily specials are skilfully translated into lovely dishes with great service, all with a dash of french flair.

Perfect for a relaxed late Sunday afternoon brunch. Laid back, unhurried atmosphere with good choice of quality food attentively served. Brasserie Vacherin is a credit to Croydon's dining scene.

It's always a pleasure to visit Brasserie Vacherin, either in Croydon or Sutton. The food is very good and always beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and helpful and there's a relaxed atmosphere. A little piece of France in South London.

The food was not very nice. We also didn't like the fact, we had to wait for the main course 40 mins. I don't think we will be back there.

BV has an excellent menu. Quality is dependent on whether or not Mr Malcolm John is cooking himself. It is measurably better when he does. Last night he wasn't and the tuna tartare had an excessive amount of chilli and the scallops and lobster were not as good as usual. Service levels were just as good as usual and we still enjoyed a nice meal. Our loyalty card made the experience very good value.

Food was good, service was good and we arrived a little late so were in a bit of a rush - our needs were accommodated without being made to feel that we were in a hurry - Great little place and will be going again.

Attentive staff and excellent food, as always. We dined with 15% off the Prix fixe menu and it was excellent value for money. The only complaint is that the bar area was very cold and we wanted to have a drink before we ate.

I'd previously dined at the restaurant last year and praised the food but criticised the speed of service but this time both were absolutely spot on. I had the poached pear which came with the most delicious dressing. The ideal starter for those with smaller appetites who don't want to risk being full before the main course arrives. The duck confit was perfectly cooked and the meat fell of the bone easily. Highly recommended.

The food was OK, I expected better as experienced in the Sutton branch of Brasserie Vacherin. The background music was too loud and instructive. The kitchen service poor and far too slow. The main course was served 90 minutes after we arrived. I spent most of the evening hungry and looking longly in the direction of the kitchen hoping the food would be ready. It ruined the evening that my husband had planned to celebrate my birthday. Overall I expected better service from a high end restaurant such as this, that prides itself on quality & charges accordingly.

We love Brasserie Vacherin - service and food are always exceptional. Good atmosphere and reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Dauphinoise potatoes as a side is always a winner.

Was really looking forward to the meal just looking at the menu, however felt really let down. Waitress poured a cocktail over my friend, blamed someone else and didn't even say sorry and then secondly in terms of food, starter squid was bland, main lamb shank had too much salt and finally the madeline was hard that was served with the brulee .. I would love to give it a 2nd go..as the previous fish and grill place was awesome, but disappointing was an understatement.

It was a lovely restaurant and the food was lovely, the only criticism I have was a service charge of 12.5% which is a lot I would have been better if it would have been 10%. But overall a lovely experience.
