    If you go to a London restaurant more than once, then it’s almost home. I’ve been to Bellanger now on several occasions, so consider myself relatively familiar with the menu, staff, and overall quality. For whatever reason, the service on Sunday was slower than usual. The restaurant was busy, but the attention to detail was lacking. For example, the gentleman bringing the food just started plopping plates on the table, to the wrong people. He could have easily asked who ordered what, but failed. It happened at every course and even at coffee. Generally, I’ve received better at Bellanger and expect better. Considering I had guests in from New York, they were also less impressed with the service than what I had hoped.

    Bellanger offers a delightful French brasserie experience with a charming atmosphere, excellent food, and a beautiful wine selection. While we waited around 15 minutes for our 8pm reservation, the rest of the evening more than made up for it. The Chicken Schnitzel was absolutely delicious, and the Oysters were a real highlight - fresh and perfectly prepared. Once we were seated, the service improved, and I could see why the restaurant was busy. As with all Wolseley Group venues, the quality was exceptional. I’d highly recommend Bellanger and look forward to returning.

    The service was terrible. My friends meal arrived 20 minutes after ours and my side arrived after I finished my meal. A terrible experience all round. Must do better if there is ever going to be a next time.

    Love this place and will be back again! There was a mixup on our order: where one person was to be ordering no appetizer, so their food was to come out with the appetizers but it did not. Other than that the food and drinks were excellent.

    Good space, friendly staff and a great location. I'd say it's slightly pricey so I don't go so often as a consequence.

    We loved it! The setting was amazing and the whole service delivery was on point! Georgina (the manager) was a wonderful hostess and very engaging. We loved it so much we're booking again this week with more friends! Thank you.
