generally the food was great although my venison was almost room temperature when i got it. Must have been sat for a while before being served as temperature was tepid, albeit the meat was delicious and tender.

Somehow the service and general interest in client well being is not as it used to be. One guest wanted the fish option but without shellfish. Although he asked for something instead what came was just plain fish with spinach. Offering vegetables, potatoes, a salad or different sauce would have been appreciated - but no deviation was possible even although we were there at a quiet time. Disappointing.

Still like this restaurant however the cheese platter was such a disappointment. It was a while ago I went here but then it was the highlight of the visit. This time I couldnt choose the cheeses myself and they were all far below the level i expected of such a good reatautant. Also the platter for two was just served on single plates. In the past they cut the beef for two next to your table. The foot (except cheese) however was very nice. Love the oysters.

We have been to this restaurant many times over the years and it is a reliable place for a very good meal. Over the years, the menu has developed from being focused around steak to a much broader offer, which I know will please many people. Excellent wine list.

Le Vacherin was recommended by my mother so we took her and my father in law there for Christmas lunch. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Having pre-ordered the meals, the service was relaxed - no long delays and no rushing.

I chose Le Vacherin as family visiting from the US wanted a good French meal and some good French wine and that is what we got. The food was very good (except I heard afterwards that the steak on the fixed price menu was tough), the staff were attentive and responsive. My only slight criticism was that the kitchen was very slow, we were a group of six but I noticed that other tables also seemed to be waiting for food for a long time. However, we all had an enjoyable evening and I will certainly be returning and would recommend it to anyone who wants good French food.

It seems they added tables to maximise income in the month too Christmas. Too many people in the dining rooms. As the consequence the service was not at the expected level. Not our best time there

Nice food but not really inventive Average service Could have done with a second vegetable on my plate without to have to pay an extra £4.25 for potatoes Value for money to be debated

Good food and service, reasonably priced. Nice place. To be picky though, one of steaks was overcooked (had to go back) and the starter took a long time to arrive (not an issue, but we were aware of it), but would still recommend and will certainly go back.

Delightful, intimate, cosy and inexpensive restaurant in one of Chiswick' quieter streets. This restaurant never fails to please serving fabulous French food and offering a wonderful selection of cheeses. Extensive wine list with a selection to suit all. Excellent, attentive staff. Local transport (94 Bus) if required, heading back to London.

Good food and service. But waiter suggested 200£ bottle of wine when i asked for a glass of red. I thought that was rude in front of business guest i had taken.

We have been to la vacherin many times, generally great with yesterday being the worst experience. Food is good with dessert a bit burnt, which I am not too bothered. However with two small kids, waited for 30+ min for dessert at dinner was quite stressful, when asking 1st time, the order dropped, waited again, chased 2nd time dessert finally arrived with no apology just when we were about to leave: baby crying toddler bored. When complained about it with the waiter, he didn't give very good attitude nor understanding just said mistake do happen, which was true, however not good enough customer service to be top restaurant. We explained to the manager, he kindly waved us the kids menu. I eventually fleed the restaurant with two very grumpy tired kids after apologising to the couple next table. Fair to say won't be going back for a while, not with kids. I appreciate this is not the type of restaurant for young family. However if you take booking for family, maybe waiter could be more understanding/sensitive when serving stressed out parents trying calming crying baby / toddler due to long wait/dropped orders.

Excellent food and service and fantastic value with the groupon voucher we used. We will definitely be back! The Sunday fixed menu was lovely and the steak tartare and creme brûlée were particularly great.

I had a great steak but £4.50 for a few chips was over the top, and in a "smoked mackerel rillette" starter the amount of fish I traced hidden among lots of greenery wouldn't have filled an egg-cup so there's room for improvement. Nice ambience though and friendly, efficient service.

A superb French culinary Oasis in the middle of Acton / Chiswick - and not expensive if you choose to keep to the fixed prix menus available. Busy in the evenings, usually.
