We had an issue with our main courses as it appeared they had sat for a while since cooked and needed warming up. The restaurant was busy and a reheat would have sufficed but our waitress finally returned with freshly cooked meals - exceptional! My wife’s birthday and a lovely and special evening.

Excellent atmospheric brasserie right in the heart of London, the set price menu seems to be good value, I had an excellent and very tasty, large, piping hot mushroom soup and a chicken main course, that was perfectly seasoned and extremely tasty. Efficient friendly service; I will certainly come again soon.

This was a memorable family get-together with Australian relatives and Kettners could not have been a better venue. The atmosphere and decour are classic, the food delicious (a small, but high quality menu), the service first class and the price per head entirely reasonable. Would unhesitatingly return.
