Our 4th visit here. Incredible music and devine decor. This is definitely my favourite London venue. The food has improved a lot since our last visit a few years ago. We both had the steak which was delicious. I recommend this venue to everyone I know.
Fabulous night all round. Friendly atmosphere, great food and the long evening didn't break the bank! Music was special and as intrusive as you wanted it to be. Would heartily recommend and will return...
Great place to join every Tuesday as its jazz jam night its free to sit and listen , decor service awesome

It was absolutely awsome ! Just one little thing: I would have prefered the band to begin to play around 8 instead of 8.30, because we couldn't listen to the 2nd set, it was too late with the work on monday....
Music was fabulous, and food too ! I ate for the 1st time lamb with mint sauce and I find it very tasty and delicious !
I think I'll come back soon !

Sylvia is warm and gracious. She made this Yankee feel part of the London music scene.
We had a gread night with exelent dood and Nice music.
Such a nice place, great food and fabulous musicians. You can't miss it if you're in London!
We had fantastic food. The wow factor however wasn't the food it was our waiter Pier. We begun our dining experience at 6pm as we wanted to enjoy the 3 course early evening dining offer. I had the squid to start which was beautifully cooked & seasoned. My husband had the Catalan mushrooms which were so tasty with just the right amount of chilli. Our mains were the minted lamb shank with was so tender & served with lovely fresh seasonal veg. I opted for the haggis & scallops. The dish was well presented the haggis delicious & a great portion. I was a little disappointed with the size of the scallops but really enjoyed the whole dish. Desert was creme brulee for me & melt in the middle chocolate pudding for my hubby. Both were delicious. The highlight of our dining experience was Pierre the Swedish waiter who was hilarious, chatty & made our evening with his interesting waiting style. You just had to have been there.
Great food, the coq au vin was so tasty and the wine was delicious.
Particularly lovely, friendly, and hard working waiting staff. The gypsy jazz band was fantastic too.
The whole bar is decorated with pictures of Django Reinhardt- great setting for a lovely night.
Wonderfully quaint & cosy with great music & service and okay food
It’s a very cool pub with amazing decor and ambience. The gypsy jazz live music is absolutely fantastic.
The cocktails and drinks are great. The food is rustic French but to be honest, a bit of a let down. The baked Camembert was okay - let down by very average bread that a bit stale.
The tartiflette main was also nice but a bit bland. The creme brûlée dessert was stone cold. Overall we paid about £80 per person which seemed like a lot for what we had.
Well worth the visit, perhaps pick something else from the menu and watch how much you’re spending!
Reviewed April 2021 when indoor dining is not yet allowed. Back garden is very lovely. Food is good, a few selections but not too diverse. Lovely cocktails though. Wine might be tiny bit overpriced but just normal for London. Will be back for live music band from May.
Unique, fun, interesting alternative night in South London! Had a fab band on and the food is great... dessert too. A must visit if you haven't been before. Best to book in advance... good for family and date night. Charming find.
Two stages in a beautiful, rustic and cosy U shaped establishment tucked away on old Battersea High St. host nightly music events featuring Europe's "gypsy jazz" artists. Charming and upbeat with oustanding "home cooked" menu. The bar takes up a large centre space within the house. The back garden area is charming. The place is the best night out you can have in the area.
Great dinning experience, the food is always spot on, and has a good selection of dishes, the wine is ever flowing, the live music is great, but what makes a great dinning experience is the whole atmosphere of the place, the venue, and the incredibly sassy but hilarious staff.
Taken a few friends from east London here, and every time I love to see their faces go from , why am in the middle of Battersea to ooh I get it, it’s great!
The home of London's gypsy jazz community. Great players come from all over town and even further afield. There's a fantastic free jam session on Tuesdays and a full program of pre-booked artists most other nights. Many of the gigs are free entry if you arrive before 8, and £6 afterwards. Some are a little more expensive and you'll need to book in advance. Menu is limited but tasty. Go! You won't regret it.
I've been going to Le Quecumbar for some years and recommend it to everyone that likes food, wine and good live music. It never fails to be a special night. The atmosphere is intimate the decor is a spectacle - especially in the summer, as the garden is beautiful.
I had my 40th birthday there as a private event, and we held a cabaret-style evening, with an early dinner for family. Everything was perfect. All of the team working were highly attentive and Sylvia did everything in her power to make the night go smoothly.
This is a great venue. Don't be put off by some of these reviews if you haven't been. It would be a shame to miss out on it, purely because it's a unique place and that's the real magic of Le Quecumbar.
Probably not for everyone but if you are into 1930's music with that Parisian café vibe, you'll probably never leave. Oh, and they are a big fan of Django Reinhardt with live music most nights.
Quecumbar is a small intimate bar. Good parking and some great musicians. They also serve food at a reasonable price.
A good surprise! Hidden little gem, not very easy to find, however it was worthy. Small, cosy and warm Parisian style atmosphere, very pleasant jazzy like live music, adorable little garden and good wine selection. On the less side, few choices regarding beer and overpriced, especially food.
A hidden gem in London.
Always good live music and the food is good and plentiful. Service with a smile and a friendly atmosphere.
Definitely try it.
The place in London for live Jazz manouche.
We were a party of ten+ and the food took a long time to be served.
Service improved when the staff appologied for the day.
If you like this kind of Django Reinhardt inspired jazz get down there.
Great live music, super chilled atmosphere , great service, great food. Best night out in ages!
Great vibe, good food. Loved the live music and the ambiance - a special place!
We visited last night and the food, music and staff are PHENOMENAL! The staff are so charming and funny. I would 100% recommend if you're on a date or as a couple as the gardens really beautiful. They have fairy lights everywhere and the music creates a great atmosphere.
