A lovely French fine dining experience with great food overall. It’s on the pricier side, but the quality and flavors make it worth it. The lamb was a standout—super tender and cooked to perfection. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A great spot for anyone looking to enjoy a refined dining experience, though it comes at a premium!

made a booking for a dinner at 8:00 we arrived the restaurant and waited for a bit then being welcomed by the staff. the restaurant was not busy and the server of our table is friendly, gentleman and polite The food came fairly quick and we enjoyed a lot with some background classy music roasted duck and stonefish are brilliant. We ordered a glass of pinot noir and chardonnay, perhaps they were ordered by glass, balanced and smooth but lack of character. But the sparkling (also by glass) was nice. a bit pricey but definitely worth it, will come back again

We had pumpkin tortellini for appetiser and chateaubriand for main to share. The beef was top notched quality. I enjoyed the main a lot. The service was excellent (except from one server that wasn’t great). Great atmosphere. Plenty of parking spaces in the residential area after 6 pm or a short walk from Chiswick Park station. Highly recommended.

Posh, small and a little pretentious. The place is full of regulars who live in the area. The food was good especially for a set menu. I must say that I felt a little out of place being the youngest guest that afternoon. The 2 of us were given a large table because we booked on the same day, which was a little awkward for us. The service was fast and efficient but the host didn’t not really speak to us or recommend anything.

We’ve lived just down the road from Le Vacherin for years but never thought it was really our kind of place: how wrong were we. We went for our 10-year anniversary and had such a brilliant evening. The Prix Fixe menu was great value for the quality, and the food was spot on: really well cooked and full of flavour. We added a few extras (oysters, sides, and some extra bread because the anchovy butter that came with it was just so good), and everything was fantastic. Service was friendly and quick, and they made us feel really special with personalised dessert plates. So glad we finally gave it a go—it was perfect for a big occasion and didn’t set us back nearly as much as we expected.

Le Vacherin is a beautiful and elegant restaurant that offers an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the refined atmosphere. The service was equally outstanding; Claire, our waitress, was pleasant, polite, and very accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout the meal. For the main course, I ordered the Longhorn beef, which was cooked to perfection and came off the bone effortlessly. I have always wanted to try escargot and I was definitely not disappointed it became another highlight of the meal—delicious and full of flavor. To start, I had the soup, which was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. For desert, Frangipani tart had a lovely crunch base with Mascarpone. Overall, my experience at Le Vacherin was fantastic, and I will most definitely return. This French restaurant has quickly become my favorite, and I look forward to bringing my friends to share in this wonderful dining experience.

One of the Best French Restaurants in West London. Close to Chiswick Park Station. Fine dining restaurant with excellent food & drinks, and excellent service, all details are perfect. Super friendly, and professional staffs, and don't judge anyone by his/her looks (even though we don't dress properly for a fine dining restaurant). Better to reserve a table in advance. Toilets are clean and tidy.
