Sophie’s Italian

This is a lovely French restaurant! The food is very good! The service was great and the staff were very welcoming!! A great place to dine!!

I go to Denise’s every time I’m In London. I’ve been going for years. Always greeted by a friendly staff and never have had s bad meal!

A very pleasant French restaurant. Me and my cousin felt like we were on a small trip to France :) we had a number of dishes and all of them were magnificent. Definitely worth the money, will be back here again!

Great restaurant and service. We started going to this restaurant late last year. We have been there several times since then. The food is consistently well prepared and presented. Our waiter, Tony, has been very attentive. Will certainly recommend this restaurant

We love going here as it's amazing food and we've always enjoyed the food The staff are very friendly and polite good value for money.

No real complaint, but disappointing after the high reviews. The atmosphere was pleasant and it was quiet, so we could enjoy a conversation, but the food was average, main course a little too rich. The menus were really old and worn out, badly in need of replacing - which they said they were going to do. The whole place felt a little shabby and in need of a makeover.

We have been coming to Denise's for many years, always good value, pleasant quiet surroundings and its within 5 minutes walk of our flat! Good sized servings, friendly competent staff.

Great food. Great service. My clients and myself really enjoyed it. Tje informal atmosphere allowed us to talk, music wasnt too loud and the service eas excellent

Fantastic food. This place is an absolute gem and one we go to every time we are in London. The food is spectacular and worth every penny. The atmosphere is nice and chilled and the service is great too!

A quaint, old style restaurant with decent food at a reasonable price using Tastecard. Service was good. My only concern was they don't seem to serve ice with drinks.

A reasonable place to have a meal at any time in Bloomsbury - nothing particularly special. Best to avoid outside seating because of the traffic - pity as it is set out quite well.

A good welcome was provided and we were led to our table. Menus (rather tatty card board ) were provided. Ordered. Waiter returned with our bottle of wine saying he thought it felt too warm, it was, we chose something else, tasted very poor and unhestitantlky changed for a different choice. So, a bad situation handled well by a good waiter. Food came along and all very good, particularly the calves' liver. No room for dessert, just had coffee. All very pleasant.

Compliments to the chef; the food was very good, but the service was poor. The waiting staff were more intent on chatting to each other than looking for diners’ needs. Disappointing.

What a wonderful place to eat, wonderful food, atmosphere, service, great value for money, the speciality dishes are definitely a must! If i'm ever in the area again I would happily revisit.

Excellent delicious meal as usual and good service. Good location as 91 bus stop is a short walk away as is Russell Square tube station.

Pleasant staff, enjoyable meal. Will call again when visiting the area and am in need of an enjoyable meal. Handy for other needs in area

I really enjoyed my meal, the frog legs were really good! Staff was very attentive, the restaurant was clean and tidy, I didn't have dessert but the cakes looked amazing.

5 of us had a very nice meal last night. We shared some starters, the prawns were delicious. We all had Moules Frites which were very tasty and the sauce they were cooked in was the right amount of garlicky. Helpful waiters too. We are planning to go back soon as the restaurant is near to our evening class.

First class meal in excellent surroundings. The food was very tasty and well prepared. We are pleased we had booked because Denise’s became very busy. Great service with individual attentive staff.

Denise's treated us very well. We had a corner table as requested and all those in the party enjoyed the food, especially the veal dishes. As it was early afternoon, the restaurant was quiet. As we had not seen one another for many years, we appreciated not being hassled by the staff as we chatted.

Convenient location in central London . Very good food and great service. Tony, our waiter, was very helpful and courteous. Will certainly go to Denise's again, and highly recommend it.

Good food and service but very few people in restaurant so ambiance impacted. Would return and also recommend to others. Central location for visits to London.

Delicious food - authentic, simple French cuisine, good choice of dishes. Lovely ambience. Quiet restaurant with attentive, but unobtrusive, staff. This was our second visit and we will certainly go back.

My wife & I hade a very nice pre-theatre meal at this French Bistro in Bloomsbury area of London minutes walk from Holborn Station and within 20 minutes walk of Prince Edward Theatre were we had tickets to see Aladdin. I had a beautifully cooked medium rare fillet steak with au poivre sauce and then a crepe flambéed at the table with loads of Grand-marnier liqueuer, whilst my wife had sole fillets and a then a rich chocolate mousse, sat in a lovely table for 2 by the front window. Looking to go back next time in London for the theatre and would have tried the frogs legs starter had we not arrived a little late after having problems with our Uber taxi collection.

The food was superb, full of flavour and not small portions. it is a hidden gem close to Holborn station. well worth a visit if you're in the area.

The menu was very traditional . We made good choices . The food was really good and service friendly and efficient . ... and thinking back how nice to have good linen and cutlery .

The food was marvelous. The only reason we didn’t give a higher rating was because of the indifferent service. We were kept waiting far too long at each stage of the meal, and we were never asked if we needed anything (we did several times - for things like silverware). Nor were we asked how we liked anything, which was a shame as the food was extraordinary.

This was our first time visiting Denise's resturant and unfortunately I was a little dissapointed. We were shown to a table that still had someone's belongings left on the seat, my wine glass was dirty and I could have done with a new menu as mine was badly damaged so was difficult to read. The starter was a very good portion and pleasant and I enjoyed my main meal, that was very nice, the dessert however wasnt great and expensive for what it was. I probably would return but maybe I would try an evening service and perhaps skip the pud!

great food tournedos Rossini was melt in the mouth, everything we ate was of a great standard and portions. Sophie our waitress was polite helpful and a good sense of humour.

Excellent service and food - will go there again soon! We had planned to go for about two hours - ended up there for well over three because we were not rushed!

We celebrated a rare visit by my sister in law from the US with a delicious meal, a good choice of wines and particularly friendly and helpful service. Thank you.

Lovely authentic dining experience in a friendly intimate setting - as always. No matter how many times we visit it is consistently good. We will return.

Absolutely adorable people run Denise's. You could not find kinder staff. We only had goats cheese salad as it was a warm day but being curious I looked in other people's plates and it was all looking delicious. GO and try it. Barbara (14th August 2017)

Denise's is always very good - and we've been going there for about 20 years. Denise, herself wasn't in the restaurant when we were there but both food and service were excellent

Denise's Restaurant provided a pleasant environment, excellent food and cheerful efficient service. As a Tastecard member it was a pity that the bill was produced without the discount but that was corrected without fuss.

Warm welcome, attentive service. Wide choice of food. Well cooked. Fillet steak medium rare was exceptionally tender. Good choice of wines. For central London prices were very reasonable

Excellent food and service at very reasonable prices. An extensive menu with a great variety of food. Well worth the 5 minute walk away from the much busier Oxford Street area.

Every time we are going to London we are visiting Denise's. Always a pleasure to come there. Delicious food and nice service. we love to come there.

Very friendly staff and excellent lunch meeting up with old friends will definitely go back again when we are in London hopefully on not too distant future

Very good meal, enjoyed the seafood starter and pepper steak. Nice Merlot too although the markup on the wine is on the high side. Will be back
