with several good wines under £20 and most main courses hovering in the £10 - £15 price range, slightly naff pictures are the last thing one needs to worry about.
I visited this restaurant that was being run by students in the age group of 16-19 and I was surprised by the amazing job that they were doing. I tried the lamb dish with potatoes and spinach in the main course and relished every bit of it. It was appropriately cooked and the flavours were just perfect. The cheesecake could have been a little better but it was worth again. I would suggest the staff to be a little more sensitive to the needs of the customers and be more versed about the variety of breads that they are serving. I want to go ahead and pat the students for doing a wonderful job. That will probably happen in my next visit!
We wanted to have a nice lunch at this place but could not get a table without reservation so we booked in advance for dinner. I am glad that i did come back to this place for dinner. The lamb that i ordered was cooked to perfection and extremely delicious for my taste buds. Service as well was very efficient and attentive.
Had a lovely time at this ice little place . The food was really good , and very affordable . The presentation was nice , and the carefully done . The view from the place is fantastic , and adds to the experience . Will come back soon . A must visit for everyone .
If you are looking for a wholesome experience and are ready to forego a few shortcomings here and there then this is the place to visit. You can eat to your heart's content as the food is offered in big portions and it also tastes delicious. The atmosphere is very warm and the servers are trying their level best to make it a worth while experience for you. I will definitely try this place again.
I happened to visit this place for dinner a couple of weeks ago and was truly impressed by the food as well as the presentation of their dishes. This place offers a huge variety of dishes and most of the dishes tried by us tasted amazing. The service was pretty attentive as well and the servers generally confirmed if the dishes were properly prepared or not. The prices of this place are pretty reasonable as well and I would love to go back to this place again as soon as possible.
a person is surprised to find out that this restaurant is staffed by the students of a nearby catering college aging between 16 and 19. but i encourage you to try this place as the food served here is exceptional to accompany with the wine recommended by the staff here which best enhances the taste of the food. looking forward to visiting again!!
I had a great time dining at this restaurant. The French red wine was quite good and the starters were extremely delicious. The main course was also delectable and was very well prepared and well executed. The service is incredibly good and is quite prompt. The atmosphere is also quite pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place.
This place has an amazing ambiance and the food is pretty delicious as well. But the thing that I really disliked about this place was that the servers were very inexperienced and seemed to be a little shy, though extremely sweet.
We had a Sea bream which was nicely prepared and tasted delicious.
The prices are pretty reasonable and the overall experience was quite amazing. I would recommend this restaurant for a nice and cheap meal anytime.
This place had great food and even better desserts. For dessert ,we had Panna Cotta with Plum Stew and Caramel Ice-Cream as well as Cheese Board. The Panna Cotta tasted divine and reflects the amazing culinary skills of the chefs at the restaurant. A thumbs up for this place .
This is a very nice meal at a very low price range, and the selection of wines and menu options are extensive and amazing. The food tastes really good, and the wines are especially nice. With all this in store, I think it is easy to put up with a little simplicity of venue.
A well staffed brassiere that serves good cheap food and at a swift speed. The atmosphere is very friendly, lively and fun. The restaurant is a favorite of the students in particular maybe because the prices are very reasonable. The portions are generous. The food tastes good. I had gone here for lunch and had a nice experience.
It’s a beautifully decorated space and the service was so lovely. Keep in mind it is students serving you, so they are learning and trying to be quite formal but for me I have zero complaints! Every bit of food was delicious and just the perfect sized meal.
We did an event and rented out the room with 30 people, and it was the perfect space for this!
Such a great experience, and so reasonable!! £35 for 5 courses with the whole service being run by the 2nd year students, overseen by the lecturers. The weeks are themed and I booked this German week as my husband loves the cuisine. They don't turn tables and you can only book 6-7pm on Tuesdays & Wednesdays (not sure what time lunch service is). The food was really good. The wild boar schnitzel and Kirsch and chocolate dessert were standouts. A couple of dishes could've done with a little more seasoning, but hey, the quality for this price is fantastic. The service was really endearing too. The guy on the table next to us said he tries to go once a month, "support the young guys"!! I wish I could as they seem to be really booked up and we'd love to go back to see whether there is a difference towards the end of their year. Highly recommend!!
Edit: we came again 6 months later and the difference is very distinct. Great to see progression, and the food was absolutely amazing.
The Brasserie's food was very good, especially for the price, and the service was fun and easygoing. All wait staff and chefs are students and I love supporting that. The card you fill out at the end of the meal goes toward the students grade at the end of term.
I would say the room is a bit more cavernous than I had expected, and the Escoffier Rooms look much comfier, but that's just nitpicking.
We ordered one starter, two mains and one dessert to share. Croquette, turbot and lamb dishes were very good. The panacotta tasted a bit too sticky and mango sauce wasn’t really fit in well but overall we had a great lunch with good services!
Cream of leek soup is so good.
Students are lovely.
Highly recommend this place.

Wedding Reception at The Escoffier Room - 10/10 5 Stars!
In October 2021 we got married and held our reception at The Escoffier Room - what a fantastic decision that was! From our initial enquiry with Marc Whitley (restaurant manager and senior lecturer), through planning our menu and canapes with the wonderful Head Chef Jonny (Jonathon) Warner, choosing the wine to be served with the food, selecting the welcome drinks and even planning a photo slideshow and personalised music playlist, all the staff and students couldn’t do enough for us to ensure we had the most amazing day!
My wife and I (!) enjoyed a beautiful wedding day, in no small part thanks to the magnificent efforts of Marc, Jonny, and all the students at The Escoffier Room. This restaurant is a real hidden gem in the heart of London. I first took my now wife here on a date in an attempt to impress her while we were dating - little did we know that we’d return multiple times, and eventually celebrate our wedding here!
Marc was incredibly helpful and attentive in the planning stages of our big day. He is experienced and confident in organising events and so brought a much needed calmness and confidence to our often last minute decision making in the build up. Marc and Jonny organised wine and menu tastings for us, showcasing the restaurants excellent selection of wines and incredible food.
The food Jonny and the students produced for our wedding meal was incredible. Words cannot do it justice, you really do have to experience the delicate flavours and impeccable presentation for yourself. During our main course the father of the bride was heard to say “This food is amazing, fine dining in England isn’t dead!”. And to be honest, there wasn’t much to be heard during the canapes as our guests were busy enjoying how delicious they were!
The students served our guests with a smile on their faces and professionalism in their manner. The service was top quality and worthy of any 5 star hotel restaurant in any major city of the world.
We are so grateful to Marc, Jonny, the students, and all the back room staff at The Escoffier Room for looking after us so well during our wedding celebrations - thank you! xx
Lovely eatery that is run by students from the Westminster Kingsway College. We went during their special Korean Cuisine Week. We had oxtail soup, korean dumplings, Samyetang, Bibimbap,sweet pancakes and sweet rice dessert. It cost is £21 per person and alcoholic mixed drinks are £7 each. Great food and amazing students 👌
Young talents are learning here in an actual restaurant, how to work in kitchen and service.
We enjoyed to observe the dedication that was spend by one of the trainers in helping the young fellows to do their job.
The meals were fantastic and the price is unparalleled for what you get.
Bring some time and patience, when you stop by.
We‘ll come again.
Went there for lunch and bsolutely loved it. We had a group of almost 50 people and the service was great. Although the staff were young they seemed to manage. The food was really nice as well. On the day I had pear pouched in muled wine for starters and cod for mains. It probably won't be the same if you go but all the food was well prepared.
We were recommended this training kitchen by a friend as a unique experience boasting exceptional food at a very reasonable price. It didn't disappoint. The six Chinese themed courses were truly excellent offering a creative approach to some traditional dishes. Our waiter Luke was fantastic; engaged and clearly passionate about his craft. Overall a strong recommendation.
