Restaurant légendaire à Londres

Le "Quaglino's" à Londres, en Angleterre, est un restaurant légendaire qui joue un rôle central dans la vie sociale et culinaire de la ville depuis son ouverture en 1929. Fondé par Giovanni Quaglino, il était dans les années 1930 et 1950 un lieu de rencontre prisé par la haute société londonienne, fréquenté par des aristocrates et même par la famille royale. Après une fermeture en 1977, il a été ranimé en 1993 par Terence Conran et le groupe D&D London, et s'est depuis réinventé comme l'incarnation de l'élégance et du glamour. Aujourd'hui, il allie sa riche histoire à une approche moderne et reste un élément indispensable de la scène gastronomique haut de gamme du quartier de St. James's.

Gastronomie raffinée à St. James’s

L'atmosphère du "Quaglino's" est marquée par un mélange de charme Art déco et de style contemporain. La salle à manger spacieuse est dominée par un escalier iconique et sinueux qui mène à la zone centrale de dîner, tandis qu'un élégant bar à cocktails aux détails dorés et aux arrangements floraux luxuriants anime l'espace. Une rénovation en 2014 a donné à l'intérieur une esthétique moderne et fraîche, tout en préservant l'aura nostalgique. À noter également la scène où de la musique live – allant du jazz au soul – est jouée chaque jour, transformant le restaurant en un lieu de rendez-vous animé le soir. L'ambiance est sophistiquée tout en restant accessible, et le personnel est apprécié pour son service professionnel et amical.

Cuisine européenne avec ingrédients britanniques

Sur le plan culinaire, le "Quaglino's" propose une cuisine européenne raffinée axée sur des ingrédients britanniques de haute qualité. Un des plats phares est le "Roast Saddle of Lamb", un plat d'agneau tendre servi avec une sauce aromatique et des accompagnements délicats, connu pour sa saveur riche. La "Dover Sole Meunière", une sole meunière particulièrement fondante, est également très appréciée grâce à sa préparation classique et à ses saveurs subtiles. Les amateurs de fruits de mer se réjouissent du "Crustacea Altar", une opulente sélection de fruits de mer frais présentée avec style. Pour le dessert, le "Chocolate Fondant", un gâteau au chocolat chaud avec un cœur coulant, offre une douce conclusion parfaite grâce à sa richesse de saveur.

Cocktails avec élégance historique

La carte des boissons est un autre point fort du restaurant, en particulier les cocktails. Le "Q Martini", un cocktail signature, combine du gin avec des saveurs raffinées et reflète l'élégance historique de l'établissement. La sélection de vins est vaste et soigneusement élaborée, avec des options allant des vins blancs pétillants aux rouges corsés, qui complètent idéalement les plats. Le "Quaglino's" est également réputé pour son brunch, qui offre une expérience unique avec de la musique live et du prosecco à volonté, particulièrement prisée les week-ends.

Atmosphere and vibe of this place is glamorous like their dress code. The service from our waitress was excellent and she was honest about the menu when I asked questions. Never waited long for drinks, and overall I had a great night. However, when we spent £300 per person, this comes with expectations which were not met in my opinion. 1) We were reminded that our table was for 2 hours only, twice. Felt rushed to order mains, and after dessert was asked to move to the bar. 2) The entertainment was on and off, for a Friday evening 7:30 onwards, I had the expectation that it would be all night. 3) Food was okay but not special, with no 'oh wow thats delicious' moments amongst our group. Starters were good. Caviar was good, and condiments nicely prepared. Mains, Fillet steak was perfectly cooked but no flavour at all, perhaps not aged long enough or lack of seasoning. Whole Duck was seasoned nicely, but cooked so uneven, with half of 1 breast raw, the other perfect. Surely this should be sous vide to temperature then roasted for texture. Desserts were enjoyable, and well presented. Drink selection is very good, including a wide range of wines and spirits. Bar staff was also very accommodating, friendly and quick service.

Myself and a few friends went to Quaglinos for St David’s Day and wow we genuinely could not fault it! Delicious food (had the st David’s day menu), the cocktails were genuinely the most delicious I’ve probably ever tasted and the band were incredible had everyone up dancing. Thanks to the team for a wonderful night and looking after us so well, we felt very special! Would definitely recommend for a fun night out or any special occasion!

Awful experience at Quaglinos. Came for the brunch and we were told there would be vegan options, was served olives and lettuce and they charged £45 for it. Everyone else's meal bang average too. Avoid, there's so many better places in London than this overpriced garbage.

Quaglino’s exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel truly valued. Despite not having a booking, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us, ensuring we had a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable—attentive, kind, and professional. The bartenders were fantastic, guiding us through the drinks menu and keeping our glasses perfectly topped up. The atmosphere was lively yet elegant, making it the perfect place to celebrate. We can’t wait to return for supper next time. Highly recommend!

Arrived for our friends birthday at 6pm, atmosphere was good, was sat down and ordered drinks many drinks to choose from no issues there. We ordered our food it wasn’t the greatest for the price the restaurant was charging for it, after ordering starters, mains and continuous drinks at 7.40 pm we was told we was not aloud to see the dessert menu and we had no choice but to leave the table, we was disgusted with how we was treated we hadn’t even been at the table for 2 hours and was being told to move on. I would not recommend this place to anyone as the way we wasn’t treated for an expensive venue was nothing but disgusting avoid and if you do venture there don’t get your hopes up for nice food as your be very disappointed.

The night was supposed to be special as it was not only the first valentines with my partner but also her birthday. When emailing about her birthday and the availability for a cake or similar this was coldly ignored and I just received an email back from the reservations manager that the deposit had been received. No response or acknowledgment of my request (even if it wasn’t possible). This should have been a warning sign on things to come. When arriving on the night we were walked to our table, and once sat realised our table was very wobbly - not the tolerable kind. We waited 20 minutes before my partner - on her birthday - had to go up to the front desk to report this and also ask for someone to even come and serve us water… about 5 minutes after returning from the front desk the server came and simply asked us “are you ready to order” without any greeting, we informed them that we haven’t even had water yet. The manager came to see us shortly after and tried to fix the table and kindly gift us a glass of bubbly each. The table still wasn’t fixed, I myself tried to fix it and then we had to get up to report this again, to which we were told someone would return which they never did. After waiting ridiculously long time to receive our starters we realized we were not severed our first course (amuse) and of course had to seek out help to report this again. No one checked in on us during the starter or main. We had one check in after our starter. Every interaction with waiting staff had to be sought after, I’ve never been one to complain and it pains me to write this but it was a horrible experience on a day that was supposed to be so special. After eating our lukewarm mains, a manager came to ask how we were and my partner had to let out her frustrations. With 10 minutes left of the set being performed we were seated at the front - which was nice for 10 minutes while having dessert - before having to wait again for 30 minutes to get the bill. My partner was ignored by everyone so she had to get up again to try and find some help. When we received the bill the deposit wasn’t removed, and indeed, the above average 15% service charge was left on that we had to ask to ask to be removed. Normally we are all for tipping above the average and we felt so embarrassed having to ask for this to be removed but it was the worst night I could have imagined. Also the man (I think one of the managers) when taking payment was rude and actually, scoffed at us. I would have taken more photos and videos but alas we just didn’t even get time to enjoy ourselves and have proper wine and drinks with our meal (as no one would check on us) it just felt like 3 hours of having to tolerate a dreadful service while waiting for food.

This is my second time at Quaglino, and unfortunately, it was worse than the first. The front desk staff were not professional, making us feel unwelcome. They seated us at a table near the toilets, so we couldn’t see the live band. There were many tiny flies. Also, if you request another drink, you will wait at least 10 minutes. I ordered a medium-well steak, but they served me a well-done one. I would rate the overall service a 5 out of 10.
