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

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!!

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.

Excellent ambience, brilliant food and wine with perfect service. Would highly recommend. Six of us all had different dishes and all were delicious. A wonderful experience.

As always the food and the service were excellent and there was a great buzz about the place. My wife and I had a great evening.

Food was good, I had the rump stake which was very good. The service was a let down though, we've came across a very strange waiter who sneered at us when we asked for the set menus.

Sunday lunch prix fixee - well cooked and reasonably priced menu with something for everyone. A lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon with the other half, or for a family lunch.

As usual, food was of good quality and wine was well chosen and kept (although slightly overpriced, it seems to me). Service was as I've come to expect it there.

Sunday lunch with friends. Service was efficient, food was as always excellent, and price (prix fixe) very reasonable. Not too crowded, and no intrusive muzak. Four thumbs up.

A wonderful eating experience. Have been going there since it opened and have never had a bad experience. I was disappionted with the game pie as it had mashed potatoes on the top , no pastry, but the meat was delicious.

Great food and great service for our Saturday lunch. Would recommend to all especially the celeriac veloute and the raspberry sorbet. Made to feel very welcome

The flagship of the three Malcolm John restaurants (the other two are Brasserie Vacherin in Sutton and Croydon). Food and atmosphere is more upmarket - and also the prices! Faultless cooking and service, only downside if that the tables are very close together - even the waiters could not pass each other walking between them. Otherwise, could have been a 6.

Service was pretty slow and it took a while to order drinks, and then again for food. We were given 'complimentary' prosecco when our drinks came over and were then charged for it. We both ordered steak for our mains, and although cooked well it was extremely chewy and I had to leave half of it. I didn't complain, but wouldn't return.

We visited with a TravelZoo Sunday dinner voucher and had a lovely evening! Perfect service, delicious food - and they were kind enough to let us order mussels from the fixed lunch menu also :) Great Travelzoo deal, would recommend. A range of wines available and good cocktail selection. Only downside was the atmosphere - a little quiet as a sunday evening

A gem of a restaurant. Food is A1, the Chateaubriand steak was probably the best steak I have ever had. The crab linguine appetiser is not to be missed either. Service is very good and discrete. Wine selection very good albeit a little pricey and a good range of liqueurs. One for a special occasion. The service on the floor is second to none and very personal. Well done!

Another wonderful evening at Le Vacherin - great food, great wine and great service Highly recommended for foodies, special occasions and a romantic night out

Always great. Perfect date night venue and delicious food. Highly recommend it. Always great. Perfect date night venue and delicious food. Highly recommend it. Always great. Perfect date night venue and delicious food. Highly recommend it.

The evening started with mojitos which were made with brown granulated sugar rather than sugar syrup, so a bit crunchy. The starters of scallops (2 only) and venison were tasty but very small portions. The partridge was mostly inedible and impossible to get off the bone and the ravioli (2 only) was lovely but the portion size too small. Service was a bit slow. Wine was good, but never once was my water glass refilled. The manager apologised and took the partridge off the bill but did question my wife if she'd eaten partridge before, a bit rude I thought. Shame it wasn't better and really I'm not sure about their Michelin star.

Excellent choice of food and wonderful atmosphere in this very French restaurant in Chiswick. We enjoyed a wonderful three course meal for Saturday lunch with a delightful bottle of white wine.

Generally okay, although service was slow and sporadic, steak was cold and cheese platter was missing chutney accompaniment. Not up to the standards of a £250 lunch for four people.

What a disappointment. Where to begin...made a booking on Friday 4/3/16 for Mother's Day luncheon on Sunday 6/3/16 and received confirmation email. On the morning of the 6th I received two phone calls from the restaurant - no messages left. I returned the call only to have the manager state there was no booking in my name - intriguing given they had phoned me twice that morning! After heated words he finally acceded to my booking, albeit 30 minutes later than the original time. Upon arriving, the staff were inattentive and throughout the afternoon gave a brilliant impression of people wishing they were somewhere else. There was a Mother's Day set menu, not a problem for adults, but given the occasion - and there were numerous tables with young children - it was ridiculous that no consideration made for children, either in menu items, size of meal, or cost. The food when served was fine, nothing particularly noteworthy. Dining out, particularly for special occasions, should be a holistic experience that encompasses not just food but the whole experience from initial booking until final payment. Le Vacherin failed dismally to create a vibrant culinary experience.

Small portion but lovely food. The deserts deserve particular praise we had the sorbet and it was spectacular. We always go back we like vacherin

half hour delay in bring dessert rather spoiled the meal but everything else was very good - as ever. Le Vacherin is a good restaurant which Chiswick is fortunate to have

Le Vacherin is near where I live and a convenient place for my son to get to on Mothers' Day. Also, a late decision to have lunch together meant I was booking late in the week before the day. I have eaten there twice before. The special lunch was more expensive than usual but not as good as I have had there before, perhaps because it was so busy. The glass of champagne (for mothers only, included in the price of the set meal) was lovely but there was no wine by the glass on the wine list and as my son was driving and I don't drink much, even the cheapest bottle of wine was an unnecessary addition to the cost. I had paid £50 deposit and still had over £86 to pay. The maitre got angry with the staff and we witnessed a row in the kitchen area; again, perhaps it was because they had booked more guests than they could easily cater for. There are only two lavatories, inadequate for a large number of people, many of them children. I would have preferred to pay more for better food and facilities: Hedone in Chiswick High Road, Marcus at The Berkeley Hotel perhaps.

Staff very welcoming. Service helpful and unobtrusive. Though restaurant was quite as a Sunday evening there was a relaxed and warm atmosphere. And food delicious and at a reasonable price.

First off, our drinks were off: my husband's Negroni was too full of campari while my Mojito was just watery (I did mention that and they kindly didn't charge me for it). The Chef's complimentary canapes were aranci -- reused in my husband's beetroot carpaccio appetiser... I liked my snails but one out of 6 was simply impossible to remove -- bad luck? My husband's lemon sole was fine -- as was my cheese souffle. His French fries were particularly good. For dessert, we wanted to share the cheese platter and when we asked for some Vacherin, were told it was only available as an appetiser -- two people or more have to share an entire box of Vacherin AND only as an appetiser served with truffles. Silly me but I have had the great blessing of having other restaurants offer Vacherin as part of their cheese platter. And the name of the place WASN'T Vacherin... You guessed it: we were rather disappointed -- by the start and by the end of our time at this restaurant.

Excellent food. Prix fixe menu was not offered nor choice of 2 or 3 courses. Keep your wits about you and it's very rewarding. Will return

Excellent food very tasty and lovely mixes of flavours. The ambiance is, classy and service attentive while not OTT. A bit pricy (108£ for 2 including service with 2 glasses of wine)

Nice valentines dinners double check your bill! Went here for valentines dinners set menu. Nice food which we both enjoyed. However my girlfriends main was missing an item so had to send it back and have noticed that we were charged for the champagne which was part of the set menu.

We recently went on Valentine's weekend. The restaurant was cramped, almost too much for the waiting service to handle. Whilst it was a lovely location, the atmosphere was marred by the disappointing service. We had the valentines menu, however the waiters forgot the amouse bouche, did not attend to our drinks and had turned the music off by 10.30pm and started setting the tables for the next day's service. This was while ourselves and 5 other couples were still eating desserts and ordering coffees. It was a shame as the food was good, the wine was excellent and it would have been a restaurant we considered going back to. I would have expected better for the price

Excellent food, wine and service. French food at its best! Daube is one of my favourite dishes and this was cooked to perfection. Extensive wine list including several gems from the Rhone district.

Great, wonderful in every way. Impeccable service with a long and varied wine list, dominated ny old world French choices. Food is delicious and highly recommended.

Good food and service for a special occasion in an enjoyable ambience.

Lovely atmosphere, delightful service, food good but not spectacular although the Gruyère soufflé was outstanding. Restaurant also prepared a fresh fruit salad for my wife who can't eat sugary desserts.

We had a very delightful Sunday Brunch. The 3 course meal was perfect in both options and size. The fish course was particularly good and of course desert was excellent.

Fantastic Valentine's dinner! The menu had so many amazing choices. It was the first time my boyfriend went to the restaurant and he fell in love with it too. Totally recommend it!

Very good french restaurant - traditional French menu, cozy and informal - professional friendly staff, no music - so very comfortable ! Loved the oysters, the sole and fig tarte millefeuille - coffee is excellent - perfect for couples or business lunch/dinner!

A very well put together, perfectly cooked valentines ensemble. Somewhat safe, but to be honest - glad of it. Service at times was pushed but never shabby.

Great food and ambience. Nothing ground breaking just really pleasurable French fare. Pretty reasonably priced compared to the competition too. Amazingly quiet on a Friday night!

Great authentic traditional French food in a relatively formal setting, with lovely views over Turnham Green. Place was heaving when we went on Saturday night.
