Memorable evening in Covent Garden's Palm Court Brasserie

Not my first visit - so I knew what to expect - and was not disappointed. As before, the food and wine was great and the service was faultless.

As this lovely little 'french/european' restaurant is situated in the centre of what many tourists will sadly discover is rip-off central in the West End we are lucky to have discovered it's charms.

Food menu is broad and thought has obviously been taken with the wine list. Prices are good for the quality of food as well as the excellent service you'll be treated to.

Having already pencilled in what we will be eating and drinking next time round - we'll be back.

Prices are pretty reasonable, especially when they've offers on BUT if you're vege think again..... their vegetarian main course options are actually a little embarrassing in their rubbishness (the med' vegetable thing was second-rate school dinner slush!)
Vegetarians should expect more of London restaurants than some peppers smothered in a tasteless tomato and pepper sauce.
Service was fine and central location all good but I'd not go back!

What a find...walked past it a hundred times over the years but never been in before.....its lovely. Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food. Have already booked for my next visit!!!

I really enjoyed this place....the atmosphere is so cozy, which, in this weather is very welcoming. The service was superb and the food really delicious. the moules were perfect as was my wife's haddock. Service very efficient too. Will definately go back.

Loved this place. Friendly waiters, lovely food (I had seabass, friend had pork), the best french martini I've ever tasted and a lovely atmosphere. Fantastic!

Worthwhile going to if you get a deal - think we had three courses (plus glass of champers) for £14.95. Would not eat there if I had to pay the full price.

Cocktails are hit and miss

I would definitely not recommend Palm Court Brasserie as they have very small portions when ordering from the usual menu, which is such poor value for money. It is outrageous how busy the place is and I think that the location alone is carrying it.


My steak was served cold, and I had to ask three times for our drinks. The pudding portions at Palm Court Brasserie were atrocious. There are so many better places out there, steer clear!

I would not recommend Palm Court Brasserie - they didn't have our booking for 8 for lunch! Although they offered us a round of free drinks in their sister restaurant nearby while we waited, I wish we'd not bothered.



My friend & I ordered off the fixed price menu and when 5 chips and a piece of chicken came out, we were very disappointed compared to the big portions our friends received. We were told it was good value for a fixed price menu! That's not the point! So we demanded a free bowl of fries to go with it.



It went from bad to worse with the vegetables side order being miniscule for £2.95, the apple crumble & custard came out cold and had to be sent back, the toilets were a mess with no loo roll. Then it was also cold sat by the door with it being wide open, they got our bill wrong.



To top it all off, the Palm Court Brasserie manageress was very rude and did not care about our problems. She was more concerned with keeping the coach party of Italians happy, not those who might have returned if we'd had a good meal.

Palm Court Brasserie is lovely! Fab staff and great food! We came across Palm Court Brasserie after looking for a nice place for an evening meal, and we were very glad we did!

The staff were attentive and took our coats, and continued their hospitality through the course of the meal - refilling our wine glasses constantly!

The food is delicious; I had the chicken breast while my boyfriend had the swordfish. I would recommend however that if you're not having a starter that you order a side dish as the main dish might not be big enough for the larger stomach!

The best pudding on the menu is the chocolate brownie! The wine was also fab. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Maybe my worst experience ever!
The £9.95 menus attracted me, and we were only thinking spending this money and nothing else!

First we had a table close to the kitchen and during the dinner we had the sound of spoon and forks thrown (cling cling!!).
The waitress then come to ask us if we wanted something to drink and when we asked for only tap water her way of behaving toward us changed!

It’s easy to understand that they will be cheerful to you only to make you spend money!
Then the food arrived, portions were very small!

I had the broccoli purée, which was hot on the outside, cold in the middle! We then paid the bill without having any thanks or greeting!
The worst restaurant experience ever!
