I have eaten at this restaurant twice recently once on a week day evening and once for Sunday lunch. The food is excellent, the service is attentive but understated, the ambience is convivial and overall it is good value for money. I would recommend Le Vacherin most highly.
Very good French bistro / restaurant in heart of Chiswick. It is consistently good food and service; they have straight forward menu and wine section. Good choice for an unpretentious night.
Meagre portions and very little wine supplied - there was supposed to be wine with each course to a set menu (Loire dinner) but we only got tiny quantities of each wine. About the amount of a double shot of spirits, ordered in a bar, ie: 40 - 50 ml. They were obviously keen to keep as much of the allocated wine back for staff drinks later! They were disorganised when we arrived (on time) and moved us to different seats after we went away to give them space and time to get ready. Service was unfriendly and without any warmth. The actual food (what there was of it) was lovely, as were the wines. If they were more generous we would give them another chance.
Another visit to Le Vacherin for Sunday lunch , and again an excellent meal. The Prix Fixe menu is especially good value with a wide selection of dishes. Check out the restaurant's website and mailing list for additional offers.
The food was lovely as usual, but the service always seems to be just a llittle bit too slow. We were off to a great start with drinks and appetizers, but then it took ages to get our mains!
Good value for money. Good service. Food good but to exceptional. The table reserved for five was round so a perfect arrangement for five diners.
We chose this in preference to La Trompette/Hedone and it is not disappointingly ordinary at all but a restaurant that is conscientiously doing what it is obviously good at, namely unflashy French cooking. Four of us had the prix fixe menu on Saturday and we all enjoyed ourselves despite the fact that it was so quiet - but we did not arrive until 2.00pm. Affordable and intelligent wine list is a bonus in London. Andrea, the Maitre D' (?), was welcoming and attentive.
A handy local restaurant that has excellent food, wine and ambience - and all at a very reasonable price. The prix fixe lunch is outstanding.
It's great. Loved it. Great drinks staff and food thank the lord
We go to La Vacherin on semi regular basis because it is one of the better restaurants in the area and it is consistently very good food and good service. We had fixed price menu this time and were very pleased. Will go back again.
As usual we had delishous food. The only reason for not giving top marks is a minimalistic inclusion of new world wines in the list.Over all we had regały good evening complemented by excellent service.
What more could one ask for than good food, good wine, good service - all of which we received when having lunch at Le Vacherin.
Excellent service, and beautifully cooked and presented food. A throughly enjoyable lunch today. We mixed and matched from the A La Carte and Prix Fixe menus, with coffee to follow, and were pleasantly surprised with the bill.
We had an excellent meal with great service. The main courses and puddings were particularly good. We will definitely be back in the New Year.
Elegant restaurant well suited to a special occasion with its white linen tablecloths, French food and leisurely service. Useful option of a 500ml carafe of wine. Fig tart unusual and gorgeous. So pleased to have Le Vacherin within a 5 minute drive.
We really like Le Vacherin so much. The food is very good but our experience last week was not quite up to scratch. The service was not as attentive as we would have liked. Hopefully it was just one of those evenings.
We visited Le Vacherin on Sunday afternoon and we were delighted with our choice. Fantastic food, good service and very well priced. Would definitely recommend.
Food was excellent, but service was patronising, very uncomfortable. We decided not to pay service charge and they tried to charge us anyway. Not good!
Good prix fixe menu, enjoyed my meal and wine. Well looked after as usual. It was a first visit for my guest and he was impressed.
Food was excellent but the ambiance and service were a little off. Oddly we were seated originally beside the only other people in the restaurant! Weird.
We had an excellent time - particularly liked the dining area which allowed our party to relax and enjoy themselves without being cheek by jowl with other diners.
Wonderfully flavoured food and excellent cocktails. Very friendly and inviting place. The staff are never intrusive, but always there at hand when needed. Highly recommend if you want to take someone special (or for an elegant night out).
Fantastic atmosphere, unpretentious and friendly. The cocktails are fabulous (try The Negroni with Prosecco), the food is delicious, well balanced with fantastic flavours. If you appreciate good food, Le Vacherin is totally worth it. Great for any occasion, and sure to impress most who enjoy good food.
It was great to get seated at short notice on a Friday night, and the food and atmosphere were lovely, but the service that night was a little bit... rushed, almost offhand? It was a struggle to catch our waiter's eye to order drinks. Still one of my favourite local restaurants but they've done better.
Top class food - Daube de boeuf was delicious & freshly made fig tart, out of this world ! Great wine list too. Slightly mixed on service but that is sometimes the French way. Will certainly be back soon.
We went here as our choice for restaurant club and were not disappointed. Great food, wine and service. Definitely worth a visit, and a must if you are local.
Delicious food, exceptional service, Wine was priced reasonably. Much much better than West End venue or some of the overpriced restaurants in Mayfair where you get treated as a credit card number .
Lovely relaxed evening with great food The menu covers all options and the staff are efficient and friendly Ideal local West London restaurant. Will recommend to others
Last minute crisis cancellations meant our numbers halved in the day. Big apologies to the restaurant, very last minute. We were warmly and courteously welcomed without the staff turning a hair.
Superb food - over time they have provided consistently high quality cuisine (at least a dozen visits now). Service can be a little erratic but it is worth it! With a provencal influence - the Lamb was delicious.
We come all the way from Marylebone and it is very well worth the journey! The food is wonderful, the wines are not ridiculously expensive and the setting opposite the green is perfect!
Small but full of flavour portions. The service was painful to experience. Slow and ignorant. We were told the only window table left was reserved, but they then sat a walk-in there 2 minutes later!!
Another great evening at our favourite local restaurant - Le Vacherin
Always very good, delicious food and top class service, polite and attentive without being intrusive. The prix fixe menus is very good value and has a good variety of choice
The food was excellent but slightly let down by th late appearance of one of the meals and then served without veg. , Apart from this service glitch an excellent lunch
The food was excellent and the service was very good on the whole if not slightly unfriendly from one of the male waiters. When we booked my husband mentioned that one of the party was gluten free but no gluten free options were offered including no gluten free bread. Sea bream delicious and the Hereford rump steak was cooked to perfection and really tender and tasty. All of our starters were very good - poached pears and blue cheese salad was excellent. This is about the sixth time my family, family members, have dined at Le Vacherin and I would highly recommend it.
Very pleasant setting. Ambiance good. A little slow in providing menus and offering a drink, but once they got into gear it was very good. Food looked and tasted good. Lovely evening
Lovely place, excellent food. A very easy place to get to the staff are very knowledgeable and professional. This is the fourth time I have been there and I am looking forward to the next time.
For an expensive restaurant the service was aweful. And the fact w read to send back our cocktails at the end of the night sums up our experience.
This restaurant offers great food, great service and great value for money(we did the steak, frites and a glass of wine for £11.95). Very much recommend.
