A. Le Coq Reviews

Took one of 2 lifts to restaurant. Not too busy and felt welcomed immediately. Very clean and bright. Was asked if we would prefer outside seating which we deli ed as a bit windy. Opted for the Parisian Feast which came with a glass of bubbly. Amazing selection of starters including oysters king prawns langoustines and smoke salmon and a variety of salads and also a charcuterie table. It was self service and didn't feel rushed at all. The sommelier was a great help with the Sauvignon blanc we finally chose. Mains came nice and hot and all you could eat dessert made a lot of us very happy what with dark chocolate cake pear tart cheesecake macaroons and meringues. Rounded off the meal with coffee and cognac. Impeccable service. Not an everyday place but could get use to it.

Had a delightful evening here with my son, great food and really excellent service from everyone.

Very attractive restaurant with large rooftop area, the perfect outdoor space for these Covid times. Very pleasant staff (all wearing transparent maks), excellent food and great service. Not given it 5 stars because you can't book a table More

Great views from the top. The seating at summer drinks is pleasant with the night queen flowers smelling beautiful along the walls. The drinks were nice too though not great choice of vegetarian food.

Love the vibes, really fun place to be on summer weekends.

Superb location, superb service, staff very helpful. Had our anniversary dinner here and it was just magical! fairytale! Truly exceptional! LOVED IT!

Beautiful view. Friendly staff. Nice place to wind down on a Friday evening in the summer. Will be back to try the restaurant for sure

A well established institution that has not lost any of its gloss while the overall experience has even gone up recently from a very high level already

Good service, great selection of drinks. There is a roof terrace open in the summer with great ambience inside and outside.

Fantastic experience all around. Originally told we d have the table for 2 hours, we ended up staying for 5 hours, no problem. Excellent service the entire time. Sat outside on the rooftop, gorgeous spring evening in London. Menu is extensive, all delicious. Can t wait to go back!

Have been a few times and never been disappointed. Once at the roof top you soon forget that you are in a busy part of London. My meals have always been most enjoyable accompanied by good wine and nice friendly service.

We were here for the weekend menu, there was a large selection of items to choose from. One of us requested gluten free choices, and there were quite a few things to choose from, they even suggested a dessert that is not on the menu. They are really accommodate the dietiery requirements.

One of the best rooftop in London. Great atmosphere

This is my favourite place to eat and drink in London. The Locals spot! A true gem

Had an amazing dinner with my friend last Friday. Very attending service and great food. I had scallops for starter (fantastic) and rabbit leg for a main, I have enjoyed the last bit. The sommelier's attention was spot on, my glass was never empty, bread was refreshed 3 times without even asking and the timing of each course was very good. We spent over 2 hrs. chatting and enjoying ourselves at this lovely restaurant. Will definitely come back for another special occasion in the short future!

Excellent food, excellent view and excellent staff, has a very classy feel and ambient setting, reasonable prices for what they offer, would throughly recommend for special occasions.

Beautiful rooftop restaurant, lovely place for a romantic date !

Had a great evening with friends out on the balcony

Superb set menu
All guidelines met

Incredible food and great venue. Pricey wine list, but what we chose was very good. Great place to treat yourself.

hideous. noisy, crowded, why would anyone eat here?

Coq d'Argent is an all round pleasant venue.
This was my fourth visit and it was just as good, if not better. The tortellini is divine, and also had the saumon fume, huitres and choux fleur. I didn't choose the huitres myself, but I m glad my fellow diner had it as I was able to taste and it was delicious.

For mains I had the cuisse de lapin - which was ok reason for the 4 stars. I also tried the sirloin steak, which was delicious and tender. Service, wine, dessert are also excellent.

This is perfect for client entertaining

Nice place to have some lunch or dinner. The view from the patio is pretty spectacular.

Went there for our 15th Wedding Anniversary & had a fab experience..! The atmosphere & ambience at lunchtime was great, real buzz & vibe around the place.

We couldn't fault the food, the menu had a really good balance of choice which made the decision difficult but made us what to return to try more. Cooked to perfection & we had a great waitress, Adina, who made the experience that much more.

Not cheap but wasn't expecting it to be so taking that into consideration for the occasion it was certainly worth it.

Would definitely recommenced & will be going back for more...!

1st time visit though I've worked in the area for 25+ years. Treated to lunch by a client and absolutely loved the experience. This is a wonderful oasis in the city physically removed from the hustle and bustle below. The menu is short and sweet. It means the chefs can concentrate on a few things and do them well rather than try and manage a huge list of dishes. And it shows - every course was done beautifully. As we'd dined in the one of the hottest summers, sitting out on the terrace with the smell of the Al fresco bbq kitchen wafting around added to the experience. I hope it doesn't take another 25 years to return but if it does then the wait will be worth it.

Absolutely perfect tuna. Amazing lamb shank. Excellent waiters. Beautiful setting.

Lovely experience. Relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Food was tasty and well portioned. Staff were wonderful!!!

Wonderful view and service! The food is delicious, especially the snails!

Still one of my favourites, it's been more than 10 years since my last visit and the place has aged much better than I. Staff superb and the food simply 'exquisite'.

Great view but on the expensive side for what you get

Great place "al fresco" to relax after work with a few cocktails :-)

Great food, amazing service! Would definitely go again!

superb food. have not had better pork belly anywhere ever. excellent service. a little expensive but worth every penny.

Nice place, ok service, but the food isn't as great as you'd expect from a place like this (too greasy and overcooked).

Great food and nice ambiance. Knowledgeable friendly staff

Amazing and special atmosphere... but Very average food ..

I had my wedding here in October 2018 and I can't tell you how brilliant it was. Charlotte was brilliant throughout. Made everything that needed to happen, happen. The food was AMAZING! They adapted to the poor weather and suppliers not turning up. I couldn't recommend more highly!

The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are friendly, the food and drink is phenomenal as always. I would highly recommend this resturant.

I had a table reserved for 7.30pm
It was 8.45pm before we were being sat down at our table with a menu in hand. We were not offered any discount or concessions despite asking on a number of occasions how long our table would be. The food was good, the cocktails were amazing and waiting staff were very nice. It was just very disappointing to have such a long wait for our reserved table, and due to this we wont be returning.

Very good service attentive without being overbearing. Food was good- particularly enjoyed the creme brulee. Unfortunately didn't get too much of a view from the balcony we were on, however would like to point out that the outside area is completely covered and heated so even on a horrible weather evening, such as when we visited, an outside seat is in no way impacted by this.

I was invited to lunch here by a supplier. My hosts had booked a table, but to our surprise it was outside on the roof terrace. In late autumn in London a roof terrace is not first choice spot for lunch. There were terrace heaters which took the edge of the cold, however it was not an ideal setting. The food was well cooked without being spectacular.
The roof terrace is probably a nice place to eat in summer, but I would recommend to avoid it any time between October and May.

My wife is still vomiting from the bad oysters she was served...

We were looked after as though we were special guests. Great evening,will return.

My wife and I meet here parents here for the Sunday buffet, we were coming from Canning Town and they had come from Piccadilly. Location is great just at Bank underground station. Friendly reception and attentive staff throughout our visit.

Food was excellent, the starter buffet had a great selection of seafood, salad, and cold meats. Just the right amount of choices for the main course, the one downside was the Yorkshire Pudding that was served with the beef and lamb dishes which were obviously cooked much earlier in the day and we're tough and could have done with more gravy, but the roasted potatoes more than made up for them. The puddings on offer were very good and made me wish I had gone for less of the starter and a smaller main.

Is it pronounced 'Cock Dargent'? Probably not. This place is almost hidden off Cheapside, accessed via a lift, but well worth a look. It's all about the rooftop garden so make sure it's open. Great views across The City and towards the Royal Exchange. Obviously full of City workers so those looking for a representative sample of British society may be disappointed.

Excellent restaurant with varied menu. Spacious dining room. Has the feel and look of a transatlantic liner. Great views over London from the exterior rooftop bar. Food is excellent. First class service.

Chilled rooftop bar. Fabulous in the sun. Great views. Quiet oasis above the bustle.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Fab menu, fab service, airy, not cramped. Superb location, roof top garden with fab views of the City of london. Not cheap but well worth a visit.

Great place for celebrations , good helpful staff and an amazing view

The set menu was just exquisite!
Great place to eat out during Eat out to help out! Didn't expect cover charge in addition to service charge! Learning...

Very helpful and friendly staff. Ambience is really good. Even though there are lots of tables, the place gets busy in the evenings. Food is awesome. 5 stars for that. Starters, main course and deserts were all delicious. Will definitely visit again. Went for dinner with my colleagues. Definitely recommend.

From the minute my mum and I walked in it was special. It was fairly quiet as we booked for 3pm but beautiful, food and drink fab, staff!! Well I have never felt so spoilt, private viewing of the garden, photos taken for us, birthday cake!!

We both left feeling like royalty and yes we did make our friends jealous on Facebook with our photos.

Thank you for making my birthday weekend in London fantastic

Lovely French surprise. Wonderful food and exceptional service. Thanks Fabrice for a memorable dinner.

Amazing and super good service! The food excellent.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Service impeccable and friendly. The food is excellent - always perfectly cooked - and the wine waiters extremely knowledgeable. Love the roof garden and excellent outdoor cigar lounge. Overall somewhere I can rely on having a first rate dinner.

Service was very slow. Wine steward couldn't get our wine order correct. Food was delicious and place was buzzy.

It's okay
Food 4 / 5
View 4.4 / 5
Ambience 4 / 5
Service poor 3 / 5
Seems mediocre now ....lost the x factor in the dinning experience....perhaps a re-vamp to bring the dinning experience to a 4.4 (;
Set lunches okay 4 / 5

This is a really loud restaurant and they need to find something to stop the noise from bouncing off of the walls and the windows. Also their staff were just a little off ... It was as if they were going out of their way to ignore us. I couldn't believe that the maitre'd started to talk to us and then cut himself off mid sentence to clear the plates of the table next to us without any prompting from that table. The food was fine but for what we were expecting I definitely don't plan on dining here again.

Super rooftop ... the service the dishes .... really a good evening. ...

The food and service are the best in London in my opinion. I've been here once a year for the last five years to impress or have a lunch.

Good food, brilliant service and attention to detail. Went as a group. They suggested we take our pudding on the terrace as there was space available - great!

Nice location, great food however service let them down on this day. We were a group of people and spent good time and a lot of money on food + drinks but service was quite slow.

It took on average 25 min to get drinks and even so most of the time some were missing.

This may have been just an odd case so I do recommend a try.

Pleasant and popular rooftop restaurant. Professional staff, good food.

Coq d'Argent has a relaxed stylish feel to it with its roof top pergola around the central well of the building, bar and garden it's fabulous for summer evenings. The restaurant is large but not loud and echoey unlike so many other places. Service attentive and friendly. Food always excellent. I have been eating here for over 10 years it has never disappointed me.

This review is for the weekend Parisian feast only:

Extraordinarily good value for money! An all you can eat buffet of oysters, prawns and fish. For that alone it deserves 5*s.

But the mains are good and the desserts are wonderfully "french". And the service is really very good, the waiters are very accommodating.

Nice ambience and service; food was good but could be better.

Took a cab across town to eat here. Doorman says they closed 2 hours early.
