Nice lovely, delicious quality food, well presented & perfectly served.
Good value, friendly & attentive staff will recommend it to friends.

Top class restaurant nice food lovely staff have to go back again & again. Excellent

Ridiculously overpriced, 'boil in a bag' factory food..... Well meaning staff and nice touch from the manager who comped two glasses of wine to my wife for messing up the order.. Watch out for the soup; micro-waved to a temperature approaching evaporation....!

Brasserie Vacherin is a lovely restaurant in Sutton Town centre.This is the restaurant we have been waiting for. No more travelling to the city for good food and paying extra for the same or less qulaity product. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is informal while maintaining an air of sophistication. We always receive a warm welcome, lovely fresh top quality food and excellent service, would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Simple steak no sauce - delicious

We were so excited about eating at Brasserie Vacherin being lovers of French food and thrilled that one of London’s top chefs had opened this restaurant in Sutton. Fine dining in Sutton is hard to come by so to have this restaurant on our doorstep was definitely a bonus. On arrival we were escorted to our table where we were seated. Unfortunately the table we were sat at constantly wobbled and we gave up trying to attract the waitress and fixed it ourselves with bits of paper from our pockets. Our order was taken and our drinks and starters arrived promptly. We then waited nearly an hour before our main course. The food was good but really nothing that special and the service was non existent – no one asked us if we had enjoyed the food which is the least you expect. My expectations were high and sadly I was very disappointed and so were my guests as we so wanted somewhere local with fine dining and excellent service. The pricing is at the higher end of the scale but if the food and service were top notch I would have happily paid. If you are charging 20% service added to the bill you expect excellent service. Please, please, please improve residents in the area need a local restaurant that is really good.

Finally Sutton has a restaurant worth talking about ... we took advantage of the midweek February offer of Steak Frites and a glass of wine for under £10 ... the steaks were cooked to perfection (one medium and one well done) and the glass of wine was of a high quality.

Service was attentive without being over bearing.

It wasn't particularly busy inside given it was a Thursday evening but this will no doubt change as word spreads.

One minor criticism is that the lighting is somewhat bright and this could be toned down a little to create a more authentic brassiere ambience (perhaps using candles to provide some of the light?).

Will definitely visit this restaurant again to try the a la carte menu.

As the previous reviewer noted, Sutton is in need of something other than pizza/pasta options. This has the makings of a regular haunt for me, and at less than 100yards of icy pavement from Sutton Station, my friends in smarter suburbs have no excuse not to join me.

Due to lousy weather one of our party could only stay for about an hour, so we regretfully skipped the starters and headed straight for the mains. One duck confit, and two pave steaks (it was too cold outside to contemplate anything lighter). My fourth star is for doing what was asked for with the two steaks (which included checking with my pregnant friend that she was clear that 'medium' would involve a bit of pink stuff in the middle). My 'very rare' was rightly interpreted as sealed to perfection on the outside, and moo-ing in the middle. I could do without the nonsense of pommes frite in a mini tin pail - whoever started that trend should be carefully sliced and deep-fried.

The vegetable sides were somewhat overpriced for the quality and quantity - a smart move would be to include a choice as part of the main dish. And put my pommes de terre on my plate at the outset.

The remaining three stars are for really excellent service (not in your face, but friendly, informed and efficient), a decent wine list, with options for half litre carafes and by-the-glass at the cheaper end of the spectrum across a good range, and a superb tarte tatin. This latter option is for two (friend number three having taken off by this point to battle the elements), and it is generously proportioned for at least that number. Next time however, I'm not sharing it, and I'm having the pot au chocolat on the side.
