A. Le Coq Reviews

There is a ginger guy there right now called toby who is planning on trashing the place. Kick him out before he causes havoc!

My favourite City eatery. Well worth a visit; good wine selection.

Fantastic fine dining experience. The caviar topped beef tartare was divine and the seared yellowfin tuna was delicious and filling. Beautifully unique setting and ample opportunity for a photo with the city skyline in the background. Service was impeccable. Cannot fault them, worth every penny.

Lovely space, delicious food, above and beyond service. Adina was the best!I

A pretentious place with pretentious patrons. Service was chaotic and with a hint of arrogance. Food was good but not amazing. Took them forever to take our order -- 45mins after we were seated at the wrong table which was one chair short and had to be moved to a different table which was the same but crammed with an extra chair. I shared the 800g bone-in rib eye steak with someone. After it was cut and served, it quickly got cold. (Granted, the server did ask us beforehand if we wanted her to cut it before serving.) But why did she put all the nice first cuts on one plate, and the fatty, messy scraps on the other? My plate looked like someone had chewed the meat and spat it back out. She did it again with two other people at our table. Use some common sense and miss it up. The steak itself was juicy and prepared well. The fries were excellent but unevenly salted. The tuna sashimi was boring, but the foie gras on top wasn't too bad. Very generous slices of truffles around the tartare.

Great French faire and a stalwart you can count for solid weekday meals in the City. Great for taking a business dinner. And if the weather is nice head out to the rooftop seating and enjoy.

Beautiful cocktails beautiful views. Beautiful gardens. Loved it. Recommended.

Delicious food, but slow on the still water supply so a bit parched as they didn't leave the jug on the table and I managed to get hold of them only 3 times during the 3 cours dinner whereas wine etc was meted house with marvellous promptitude.

Went for dinner on Thursday night. The service was flawless and the food was excellent. There were 2 different menus depending on how much you wanted to spend, but both had a good choice of options. The decor was nice too.

High quality French food. Lovely atmosphere. Service was amazing but slow.

The place looks really great. We will definitely advise this place for our guests.

Loved this restaurant. Went there for the xmas menu with friends and enjoyed the food. I'm sure views are amazing in the simmer.

The food was good (just ok considering the price). The place is nicely located in a rooftop, however the service was really slow (about 30 min. to get the starters, and the drinks took even longer).
It's an ok option, but far from being a favourite.

Amazing food! Also lovely for a quick drink with a view.

Now that's a brunch menu! Well done, Coq!
Got a window table, looking out across the roof garden at the London skyline. From the comfort of a really unpretentiously chic dining space, the natural style and ambience of the place was enhanced beyond our expectations, by the low key grooves of the in-house dj. The restaurant is quite classic french old school in style, so didn't expect to be tapping our feet along to Ibiza chill out room tunes (that are calm and tasteful enough not to put off an older crowd like us). Friendly professional young team too. Charming. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for wife's birthday treat. Top marks thank you. Will definitely be visiting again.

I had a lovely fish here, nice bread and decent dessert. My partner was happy with his steak but he said it was not the best he had. Very professional staff and I would like to try the whole grill sea bass next time.

One of my favourite rooftops in London. Nice for lunch, dinner, and/or drinks. Be ready to wait A LONG TIME for drinks on sunny days, even if you find yourself there at an odd hour - it's always packed!

A lovely evening with cocktails on the rooftop veranda and good meal from the set menu in the restaurant.

My only criticism would be the service. Whilst fine initially, this got gradually worse as the time it took between courses and to get the bill to pay got longer and longer.

I understand not wanting to be too 'in your face' but it should not take over 3 hours for a 3 course meal for 2.

AVOID this place - we were not informed of the turnaround on the table until we put down our dessert spoons. We were then told it was 1.5 hours turnaround and we needed to move to the bar. I asked if we could just finish our wine (which More

In the winter transforms into a faux chalet on a City roof. Otherwise fine dining treat. Nuff said

Great location but rather dated decor and menu. Would go back for post work drinks but probably not for dinner.

Well location. The restaurant atmosphere does not make anything special but the service and the food are as delicated and passionate that you can expect it.
Every dishes are made exquisitely and with amazing taste.
Sommelier can recommend easily wine that will match to you.
Waiters/waitress are polite, smiling and professional.
Really enjoy my dinner.

Brilliant service and scrumptious food. Totally unimpressed with the sheepskin on the chairs. Zero for that.

Lively restaurant with rooftop terrace, great service

Great roof garden, but expect to pay prices relevant to the location.

Great view from the roof balcony but the food was just OK (we ate brunch)

This restaurant never disappoints. The food and is always superb. The staff are just the best; they are well trained, knowledgeable, genuinely hospitable and must be enjoying themselves because they always seem so happy. Thank you for excellent service.

Great food, lovely atmosphere setting and staff. Temperature check on arrival is very now.

I have been coming here for over 10 years. It never let's me down. The food decour ambiance. Good choice on the wine selection to go with the food we choose

The garden has an amazing view of the city at the Central point of bank. Had a gimlet at the bar, which was sweet rather than alcoholic, so very disappointing. The food seemed fresh and was tasty, but the starter and the main came out room temperature. If they were hot it would have been an amazing meal. I gave this 3 stars because of the service. It was pretty poor and they seemed very disorganised. If this place worked on their service and made better cocktails, it would be 5 stars.

Great service, food and attention to detail. Set-price evening menu good value for London. Very impressed with the "Pomme" dessert !

Very good restaurant, pleasant terraces, you can't really believe it when you see the fairly massive building from the outside.

The physical space is very sleek, with nice views of the surrounding neighbourhood (Bank). The staff was a bit slow and didn't seem to have a sense of ownership as four separate servers asked us for our drink orders. That said, the drinks were delicious.

Took advantage of the evening standard offer, food was absolutely excellent, service impeccable, the only reason it doesn't get five stars is because the terrace mentioned in other reviews has obviously been handed over to the smokers, and as you sit in the restaurant the smell of smoke begins to pervade - which detracts considerably from a fine dining experience, shame because otherwise I loved it.

Best Restaurant Christmas Lunch ever!
Amazing flavours, perfect portion sizes, beautiful wines selected by a top wine waiter. Thank you!

Excellent service, friendly staff and food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommended this restaurant.

Didnt go eat but Seems very up class inside and staff are very attentive. You can just go for drinks outside but weather makes a big difference, the garden was also closed when we went. Mainly full of business people. I would definitely go again for a drink when it's sunny - can imagine it gets very busy

Only.popped in for a drink, seriously upmarket place, friendly staff, calm atmosphere.

Used to be good but been very disappointed with service and food recently. Some of the staff are very good and some you wonder how they still have a job. The last time I was there for lunch the waitress was trying to get our group to order our deserts at the same time as our starters. Wasn't too happy when we said we would decide after main course... Don't think I'll be back again as the price does not reflect the level of service and quality of food that would be expected.

Amazing views from roof terrace, but quite expensive drinks

This is my go to favourite spot....the lamb shank is to die for, with great service it always a joy to visit

Food was exactly what I needed, but not daring or unusual

Nice patio for a drink. The food was decent, but would have expected better for the price.

Loved loved it. Great food great service.. nice vibe.. would go back

Amazing food and amazing service
Highly recommend

Went for the Parisian feast in mid-August, after a French colleague recommended it. The selection for the starter was incredible; the main course was superb, but the best part was the dessert. The service was welcoming, helpful and very efficient.

Great food and service pink peppercorn gin especially good

Such a lovely setting - you enter a lift on the ground floor and step out into a chic rooftop restaurant with large gardens and views across the City. Decor is muted and expensive (I have to admit to preferring a little more character) and the crowd's suited but not serious. My breakfast of smoked salmon and spinach Eggs Benedict was delicious, served up with piping hot coffee and lovely, if a little mannered, service.

Perfect for after work drinks with a relaxed city style atmosphere

First time I went, fantastic. Last time I went, a little lackluster. Hope it was an off night as opposed to standards dropping.

Great service, very friendly ... wasn't rushed to order or eat and thoroughly enjoy the meal as the food was excellent

Service was erratic, the main course was cold, had to be sent back but sides not replaced meaning they went cold. Dessert wine arrived after I finished dessert (which was not that great). No means of drying hands in the toilets would be disappointing in a Wetherspoons, in an establishment as expensive as this it is unforgiveable. Will not return

Terrible service. I chased the waiter around trying to order

Amazing spot for a late afternoon drink... When we visited on a Friday night in October there was a live bank and dancing with amazing cocktails and a stunning view!

Went to the Saturday launch of the Le Brunch ! which included the new Build your own Benedict! . Choose between smoked salmon, Bayonne ham or mushroom, topped off with the choice of three Hollandaise sauces: classic, truffle or Nori

Great venue on top of 1 Poultry in the middle of the City opposite Mansion House.

Delicious Bayonne ham Benedict with truffle, followed by a medium rare Sirloin Steak topped with a fried hen's egg and an excellent presented Green Apple parfait made to look like an apple!

Beautiful terrace near bank station. Perfect for a fancy drink, easy walk in policy.
Good for work drinks as they have a small terrace with heaters and it is perfect with good weather.
Not sure about the food.

Went there for the roof top bar which has fantastic views of London. Make sure to walk all the way round for the lift to get to the open area.

Excellent classic French food and superb atmosphere. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. A must go to place.

Nice garden area, needs a dedicated bar area. Very spacious and quiet on a weekend which makes a better experience rather than during the week.

I've been here for drinks before. Lovely place for a sunny day. Very friendly staff

Great food, great service and all at a discounted price - nuff said. Definitely worth another visit. Enjoy...

The Cop D'Argent is a higher class restaurant, not only in terms of food but also in price. However, it is very worth spending the evening here. Service and cleanliness great. Food very tasty

Very impressed with the service we had with my friend yesterday when we came for dinner.Our waiters (Benjamin,guillaume) and a lovely french lady looked after us very well.Fodd was delicious,the cote de boeuf was really worth the price considering the portion and quality of meat and dessert was just a feast for the eyes and palate!can only recommend this place who has an amazing view as well overlooking the city.

Food was fantastic, vegan menu is excellent. Giving 4* as the waiters are not particularly friendly so unsure if we would return - looking at the other posts we are not the first to think so. Might be time to have a word with the staff.

Excellent food, and staff, what else would one want?

Great classy place with lots of Vegetarian and Vegan options. The wine list is humongous as well as the knowledge of the sommeliers that work there. Our wine experience was carefully handled by Lazarus which was a brilliant, exhaustive and patient guide.
Make the most of the refreshing rooftop during the hot season, here you are treated to some sweet views of the Square Mile's skyscrapers.
I really recommend Le Coq D'Argent, the only thing that needs improvement is service presence on the terrace.

Been to Coq D'Argent a couple of times and it's always a good vibe. Only downside is the queue for the bar on a sunny day but that's to be expected.

Dinner started off with a Carpaccio. The interesting addition on to this particular dish was mushrooms that were pickled a little bit. The plating was really elegant and the pickling of those mushrooms was a great way to introduce some acid into the dish.
For the main course I had the Duck. The duck was tender and was accompanied by a rich orange sauce. It was very tender and juicy and didn't seem greasy at all despite the confit method of preparation.

Great terrace to spend a warm evening on, food drink choice.

Best gluten free pizza I ve ever heard. So good I had to ask the waiter to make sure she hadn t given me the wrong thing.

Fantastic green rooftop escape in the heart of London!
I went there in May with friends and we had a great time chilling in the garden terrace. The layout is nice and super cosy. The heatlamps helped to keep us warm in the evening. Absolutely loved the greenery around- felt so refreshing. The garden part is amazing for the city views.
The cocktails are outstanding; wine was good too. Hospitality is great - super friendly and very considerate. We did not try tur restaurant; unfortunately I cannot comment on the food.
Overall- this place is a green gem in the City. Great for friends get togethers, chilled drinks, work drinks, dates. Really recommend.

Long time favourite city haunt but not cheap. Good food and good service.

Great food, good service, and a nice area to eat outside when the weather allows

Excellent service and food.
Roof garden looks lovely too.
