Fabulous place - the atmosphere and the music are really something else! We saw an incredible gypsy band playing - so passionate and exciting -im a convert ! Beautifully decorated, 1920s Paris style, really friendly customers and staff and an owner who is so knowledgeable about this style of music . Food is good, pate, snails, beef bourguignon, coq au vin - typical french stuff and wine is cheap and very drinkable ! i shall be back again and again. oh, and they have a gorgeous patio which wa nt open when we went, but wil be soon i was told - i can just imagine drinking there on a hazy summers evening listening to this fantastic music and pretending i m in the south of france somewhere..!

Very disappointing evening at this restaurant oweing to three main complaints:
- Dreadful food: pre-prepared/microwave food for sure.
- Slow service: 3 hours for a two course meal - and we were trying to get out of there as soon as possible. Tables half cleared, main courses arriving at staggered intervals.
- Boring music: some sort of piano and female vocalist cabaret act that did nothing was too loud to be dismissed as background music, and too unpleasant to be enjoyed in its own right.

To top it all, when we expressed our dissatisfaction, the head waitress informed that the food "is not amazing, but very good". No, it's disgusting and implying that your customers are food snobs only adds insult to injury.

The five pound booking charge, twenty pound cancellation charge and no tap water policy all show what sort of place this is - a shameless rip-off.

Save yourself 30 quid and go somewhere (anywhere) else. We all agreed that Wetherspoons would have been better and a quarter of the price.

We went to Le Quecum on Sunday night with friends for a birthday celebration. We paid £12 to enter with about 15 others. Some of us were having food but most were there to drink and listen to the music. I was gobsmacked when I went to the bar to order a round of drinks which included a cup of tea for one of our party and was told that I could only get a cup of tea with food. I explained that i was buying a sizeable round of alcoholic drinks, had just paid £24 for me and my partner to enter the place and surely the barman could therefore bend the rules to accomodate my request. He replied that the rules were the rules and I could not have a cup of tea unless I ordered food. At this point he pointed out the manager who I politely approached to ask if her bar tender might on this occassion show some flexibility in the rules. To my amazement she refused and said that she didn't care about my request because i was not a local! Stunned, but not wishing to spoil the birthday celebrations of my friend - I calmed myself down and ordered a round of drinks and a class of tap water instead of a cup of tea only to be told... you guessed it ... they don't do tap water!

Very sad indeed, because they have obviously put a lot of work into the decor and atmosphere of the place only to spoil it by filling it with staff and management who have never in their lives heard of the concept of customer service.

I visited Le QuecumBar and Brasserie with a group of my friends about a week ago. What a find! It was liking finding a little bit of Paris in the middle of London. The atmosphere was great and the staff fantastic. We all ate and drank and whiled away the evening listening to some of the best jazz in London. How nice not to have to go to the West End to find this sort of venue.


Le QuecumBar and Brasserie will definitely be a regular venue for me, so if you fancy something a little different then I suggest booking here for a truly memorable evening.

I travelled across London to visit this Le QuecumBar & Brasserie because I had heard good things about it. Real time and effort has been put into making a vintage French style venue and it also has great music, and when I visited a couple of Gypsy guitarists were playing. The food when it finally came after a two and a half hours wait was good, nicely cooked and simple, but small and not really value for money.



However, the service was atrocious. I was told that because two of my party were 15 minutes late that this caused the two hour delay on our food! I was then accused of troublemaking when I asked for a discount by way of compensation! Overall I was extremely disappointed by what should have been an extremely enjoyable evening at Le QuecumBar & Brasserie.

LeQuecumBar is one of the most charming night spots I've ever visited. It is a beautifully decorated club with an outdoor patio like in the South of France, the food and service were fabulous, and our last night in London was made most special by wonderful jazz guitar and a congenial visit with the owner. We will tell our friends about Le QuecumBar & Brasserie and hope to visit again one day.

It was a Sunday at 5:30pm, too late for lunch, a bit early for dinner but we were very hungry and we found Le QuecumBar & Brasserie just round the corner. It was open but empty, with only a young man and lady behind the bar welcoming us in. They told us that we would have to pay £12.00 entrance fee each.



We asked why and were told that at 8pm a live band would be playing and that was the entrance fee to see them. We said that we simply wanted some food and a drink and that we would not take three hours. They said it made no difference, we would have to pay the £24.00 for the live entertainment we were never going to get to see.



Due only to my hunger I suggested staying for some food and, in the unlikely circumstance we were still chewing when the band started playing, paying to enjoy their music then. No, we would have to pay £24.00 for the privilege of eating at the establishment, music or no music. We will never go to Le QuecumBar again.

I visited Le QuecumBar & Brasserie for the first time on a Tuesday night because I love Gypsy Jazz and I was meeting a friend who lives in London who also likes live music.

I had the best night out I have ever had in my life. The music at Le QuecumBar & Brasserie was amazing, the food was wonderful, but most of all it was the atmosphere and friendliness of everyone that left such a lasting impression on me.

Sincere apologies to Sylvia the owner for keeping her up so late! No one wanted to leave the place. I have booked tickets for the 20th February and I can't wait to return. Ten out of ten.

I collect characters and I was so taken with the appalling reviews here that I had to go there and see for myself. Restaurants and bars are, in general, bland, boring and all pretty much the same. If we could get the owner going, like the previous reviewers say they did, then we could be in for an interesting meal, maybe a free one.

What a fantastic evening! I dragged three people along with me to Le QuecumBar & Brasserie who didn't really want to come.

The band was amazing. Not sure I should call them a band. It was a guy called Steve Sheperd, and somebody else playing rhythm guitar. I never heard anything like that before. I'm a convert. Gypsy Jazz, absolutely amazing.

I had to leave to get some sleep because I was travelling the next day, but my friends wouldn't come with me as they were enjoying the evening too much. I'm going back for more and this will be one of my regular haunts.

The food was wonderful and sensibly priced. The wine list was excellent and as for the owner, she was absolutely charming and couldn't do enough for us.

I don’t normally bother with this review stuff because I’ve got better things to do, but these people deserve to succeed. I would recommend Le QuecumBar & Brasserie to anybody.

What a shame... I've been to Le QuecumBar for a birthday before and it was great, however we went there for the missus' birthday last night and they dropped the ball massively.


The band never turned up (I'm not sure there ever was a band - perhaps they just told us that to secure the booking?) the food was bad (about a third of the meals were left untouched or sent back), and then we got a very questionable £45 per head bill.


I wouldn't mind so much if we didn't get such a half-hearted, insincere apology from the management at Le QuecumBar - I didn't believe a word they said. It's a shame, but after last night they deserve to be slagged off!

I can only say how disappointed I was by Le QuecumBar. I had heard great things about this venue and was really looking forward to celebrating my friend's birthday here. As a pregnant women, bars and pubs aren't really my thing at the moment so I was anticipating good food and good music and entertainment at a cool venue.



Well, the Le QuecumBar venue was great but the band didn't turn up, the food was appalling and overpriced and the owner was so rude.



I do hope this was a one-off bad night for them but judging by the attitude of the owner once we complained and the way that she dealt with subsequent complaints I'm not confident that this is the case. I certainly won't be giving Le QuecumBar a second chance.
