AboutAbout L'Escargot Restaurant
L'Escargot has been serving classic French cuisine in the heart of Soho since 1927, making it London's oldest French restaurant. Set in a grand Georgian townhouse on Greek Street, the restaurant combines historic elegance with genuine French hospitality, offering everything from escargot and lobster bisque to chateaubriand and tournedos rossini.
The restaurant spans multiple floors, each with its own character, from the ground floor dining room to the intimate private rooms upstairs. The set menu and pre-theatre options make it particularly popular with theatre-goers, whilst the late-night menu on Thursday, Friday and Saturday keeps the buzz going until midnight. Live piano music on certain evenings adds to the sophisticated atmosphere.
Dogs are welcome at L'Escargot, making it an excellent choice for fine French dining with your four-legged companion. The central Soho location, just moments from Leicester Square and the West End theatres, adds to its appeal as a destination restaurant.
