Duck magret with orange , rosemary & Campari sauce is absolutely to die for. Divine. The house red also very good. Enjoy whilst chilling reading the quotes on the ceiling. Great vibe. Recommend ++

Emma Carruthers

The mussels are absolutely to die for, the drinks are divine and the table service is amazing. Even the bathrooms are cool. Would absolutely come back and probably will tomorrow.

Very old school , cosy bistro . Home style cooking . The Provençal stew was as good as my legion d'honneur awarded French chef grandfather would have made with a rich wine reduced sauce . Recommended

MJ Lee

An comforting boutique french cuisine after visiting the British Museum . Waitor has a unique humble manner. Dishes we ordered were pleasant and delicious. Love the wall painting and ceiling quotes.

I’ve been eating here for very, many years & I can’t praise it enough. Savoir Faire is a ‘family’ restaurant , the food is good, the prices are reasonable, the ambience is fun & the staff are great

I had a lunch in here. The paté was incredible, go for this one! The entrecot was not the best meet in the world, but was good. The prawn soup was very very good. Very good service .

David

Tasty food. Fair price . Friendly staff . Free WiFi . Cidre is excellent (stella artois). Meat is very good.

Lovely little French bistro with delectable freshly prepared food. Order one of the house wines to accompany your meal: they’re affordable and really good!

Ask for the private room if you have a group of 6-9 people - it's personal and cozy ! :)
