L'Escargot - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens
The private rooms at L’Escargot are ideal for private parties whether they be special celebrations, pre or post theatre meals, business meetings, or corporate entertaining.
L’Escargot has been the venue of choice for many great parties and events.
Coco Chanel threw a party here, and many happy times have been spent around the piano long into the night.
Over the years wine tastings have been very popular and L’Escargot has hosted many great literary events with book launches being a speciality.

There's a huge fondness for the old place though, and the news that L'Escargot had been bought by a sympatico consortium and would be lovingly revived was met with a collective whoop of approval.
My guest David Shamash, the generous high bidder in The Independent's charity auction, was a frequent visitor to L'Escargot in its prime, but like me, hadn't set foot in the place this century.
A new chef, Oliver Lesnik, has been in place since February, and his lengthy menu of brasserie greatest hits covers the waterfront – or le front de mer, as this Frenchified document would no doubt have it.
Pretty much everything on it could have featured on L'Escargot's launch menu in 1927, from croque monsieur (£6) to lobster thermidor (£36), by way of coq au vin, côte de boeuf, and of course, snails.
L'Escargot's dining rooms are as lovely as any in Soho.

Greek Street is right at the heart of London’s premier entertainment district and exposed to the energetic buzz.
However, nestled within the lively surroundings is London’s oldest French restaurant and it offers a sense of sophisticated solace.
The Lobster and avocado salad also proved a good choice as a starter prior to the Fillet Steak with Béarnaise sauce.
However, for those who want to enjoy an authentic French experience in the heart of London’s West End, few places could beat L’Escargot.
L’Escargot is located at 48 Greek Street in Soho.
