I've been here probably a hundred times over the years. Apparently 90% of people order steak, which is not surprising as its one of the best place in London for it. I don't eat beef, but the fish and other dishes are always excellent and authentic French. Superb wine list and then even have draft beers nowadays. Its expensive of course, but i can guarantee that whoever I take there will enjoy the food. Having an adjacent bar means you can switch to a meal in the restaurant is the needs arises. All in all a pretty spot on place.
I have eaten here twice, and the food is fantastic. Its very understated but delivers everytime. The Chateaubriand steak for 2 is amazing as are the mussels to start. Great selection of wines too. The fact the bar next door plays the rugby gives it a real atmosphere......

Went here a few months back on the Taste Card with the gf. Service was great, the waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable - and all were french to give it a bit of an authentic feel.
Took a risk ordering Onion Soup for starter which was amazing, and the steak I had was cooked to perfection - hard to come by in London!
I've worked in hospitality for years so always nit-pick on service, but couldn't fault it. Will def go back at some stage. It gets 4 stars as the service charge was pretty steep, but at the same time we didnt mind too much as they had earned it.
I went to this place a couple of weeks ago with a group of 7 and will not be going back. The food is over priced, especially when you pay almost £20 for a steak and they can' t cook it as you ask. One of the group also ordered a fillet steak, which was poor by any standards - especially for £25. We pondered long and hard about whether to complain, then asked them very politely to change the fillet steak for another meal.
The service was nothing to shout about either, with far from gracious staff making asking for another meal feel like torture. What happened to the customer is always right? We did not pay the tip.
This place could be good if the prices staff and food get a lot better.
Be very wary about this restaurant. Beyond the miserable service and distinctly average food about which I completely concur, the staff seem to have some sort of agenda to inflate bills beyond their already over-priced levels. Not only did they add an extra bottle of wine to our bill, but then they tried to input an inflated total into the credit card reader when I came to pay. Mentioning this to friends over the weekend I was amazed to find that two other couples had had exactly the same experience at the restaurant. If you bother visiting this place - and I heartily recommend you choose one of Clapham's many better quality and better value establishments instead - then check your bill very carefully!
I went to Le Bouchon Bordelais restaurant in October 2006 and the manager was helpful and knows his job. The service was exceptional and the food perfect.
I went back last week and i noticed the restaurant management team had changed. The new one was useless and not professional at all. I do not know if he even knew what management means apart telling the waitresses to do things.
Le Bouchon Bordelais was packed and he didn't even give them a hand - he was just walking around and that's all.
I can give you some advice: get rid of him and bring back the other manager. I will not come back if this guy is still there. I was really enjoying the old manager too.
Le Bouchon Bordelais does delicious food but it's also a really good place to go for a few drinks. They're not exactly cheap but the setting for Le Bouchon Bordelais certainly makes it worth it. Really nice staff too.
