Brasserie Zedel

"There isn’t a word in the English language that does justice to describe the combination of free, seemingly unlimited, and delicious carbohydrates. Irresistible, yes, but it doesn’t quite capture the feeling, the je ne sais quoi, of woofing down the first basket of Brasserie Zédel’s still-warm, completely addictive sliced baguette, before catching the eye of a member of staff, looking down at the empty basket, looking back to them, nodding, and mouthing T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U. Again. Again. And again." - jake missing

"A lively brasserie with a colorful menu that appeals to all ages." - Andrew Young

"Brasserie Zédel is never not busy. It’s full of Londoners, tourists, Gatsby-enthusiasts, and everything in between. The reason why? It’s brilliant. This enormous and grand French brasserie is rich in 1920s Parisian atmosphere, but lacking in any kind of pretension or uppity-ness. The restaurant is perfect for almost any occasion or night out, thanks to Bar Américain (their cocktail bar) and Crazy Coqs (their cabaret club). " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Like stepping out of the cinema only to find that it’s still light outside, stepping into this cool basement restaurant on a scorching day will be a shock to the senses—in the best possible way. Leave the sweaty streets of Piccadilly behind and descend the stairs of Brasserie Zédel for cocktails, cabaret, and no sign of the sun. There are some solid set menu options and the sprawling, gloriously art deco, gold-detailed brasserie has enough space for you to stretch your arms out and hope that the sweat patches dry. " - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"London’s most famous set menu just got even more reasonable. Yes the legendary three courses for £15 - including perhaps the world’s most famous carrot salad, as well chopped steak and chips, and a chocolate tart - is now under a tenner. A glass of house red, anyone?" - jake missing
