Dubbed the new ‘hipster sport’, Pétanque is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. I used to play it on holiday as a child and surprisingly (unlike most sports!) I was fairly good at it. I even beat Tim once, but of course, he’ll never admit to that ;). For those of you who don’t know, Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally “piglet”) or jack, while standing inside a starting circle with both feet on the ground.
On the whole, the food was excellent, especially the starter pichounettes. Furthermore, I was completely wowed by the fact that such quality platters of food, containing an abundance of variety, only cost £13 each. The mains aren’t necessarily the cheapest (ranging in price from £26 to £32 for meat and fish options), but the pichounettes won me over hands down. Wow!
Angelus Restaurant is located in the Bayswater area and it is 10 min. walk to Hyde Park. The closest tube stations are Lancaster Gate and Paddington.
The cuisine in the restaurant is mostly French and it offers outdoor seating as well.
The venue has a nice a friendly atmoshphere and offers kind and positive services!
A stellar representation of French cuisine, with the propriety of a confident yet comfortable atmosphere. I was impressed from start to finish, simply.
My scallops were cooked perfectly, and the kick of capers with a blend of hazelnut was fantastic. The Confit Duck was tender, exceptionally flavored, and well-plated with its sides.
Dessert was exceptional: Poire Belle Hélène, with no flavor overstated.
Service was attentive and well-executed.
Definitely recommend!
I respect a restaurant that keeps a simple menu that they execute on exceptionally. This place is remarkable. I would eat here everyday. I have payed much more for far inferior French cuisine in other establishment.
Not easy to find good places to eat and do business meetings near Paddington station. This french restaurant has nice atmosphere great food and very good service
It was very nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Lamb was excellent as was the creme brulee. The bartender certainly knew how to make a very good gin and tonic. Finally, the service was outstanding. In fact, they include the tip of 12 percent in the bill and I would certainly have given at least 20 percent.
The Finest and Friendliest French boutique styled restaurant in London. huge top grade wine list from around the globe with the most amazing food. the staff make you and your guest feel like your members of an exclusive dining club. Excellent. Will be back again soon.
We have been served very attentively, the food was delicious and they have a big choice of different fish or meat. The french onion soup was tasty as well as the fish filet, lamb chops or steak filet. Champagne by the glass is Drappier which speaks for itself. The house red wine is the Vieux Château Négrit Montagne-Saint Émilion 2015 Bordeaux which is surprisingly soft, fruity and not so tannic for its young age. Angelus offers a great value for the price with typically french cuisine dishes served by friendly waiters on nicely laid tables. A great place to spend a cultivated evening with friends, family or as a couple!
The place is nice, with the option of hosting large groups of people. The chef definitely deserves admiration for the extensive menu and lovely food. I was here a couple of days and it was the same lovely experience that I've remembered from before.
I have been there twice and I'm really excited.
Thierry and his team are brilliant and lovely. The dishes are very delicious and they have good wine.The atmosphere is very cozy.
Mmm... gratin dauphinoise and I'll have another carafe of that house Pinot Noir. The last thing I wanted after a tiring day was a squabble with a snobby French restaurant over my eclectic sartorial choices and... I didn't get anything of the sort. The staff tried hard to, and did, please. They, and the chef, deserve more custom. I foresee a return visit, which would mean forsaking a meal that could otherwise have been in pie form, making that high praise indeed.
This was delicious. Solid, traditional French cooking with excellent flavour and minimum fuss.
Amazing food and very good service. The price is a bit high, but worth every penny. We will never forget the chocolate raspberry desert!
I loved your wine selection, the dessert and the ambience! Fab food, Fab atmosphere and Fab service! Thank you!
The food is divine, although pricey, but worth it. Set lunch price is very reasonable at £22 for 2-course & £33 for 3-course.
Great little restaurant with French food and wine.
Amazing restaurant! Will definitely recommend for everyone to visit.
