GAZETTE PUTNEY

This is my new favourite restaurant in Putney. The food is some of the best I’ve had in London. The beef tartare is assembled at the table and is generous with both flavour and quantity. The escargots are tender and covered in copious amounts of garlic butter and parsley, and are presented beautifully. The service is pleasant and attentive, and we left full and satisfied. I can’t wait to come back and try the onion soup and chateaubriand.

Amazing food, friendliest service! It’s not easy to find a good onion soup and tartare, but Gazette nails it!

Had been planning to come visit Gazette Putney for ages! Finally today we made it! We should ve been much earlier! Wonderful French cuisine would definitely recommend And will probably be back very soon 🤩🌈❤️🙏

Really disappointing !! Starters were a mix of very average to poor ..The pate I had as a starter was tasteless!! Then we waited 45 mins for mains. Once arrived , we had various sides and sauces missing and had to then ask 3 times for them to be sent to our table ..by that time our food was cold and we were all just very p*ssed off ! Overall we spent 2 hours there mostly waiting on food which was supposed to be an easy quick lunch …avoid it ! so many better places around to spend your money on !

I've only been here twice for breakfast and had the champignon - it was that good and you can see (taste) they use high quality ingredients. The staff is always lovely and everything on the menu looks delicious. Looking forward to come back and try some of their mains.

The lunch set menu was really good value and excellent quality. Loved the Prawn Cocktail on toast, and the Pan Fried Seabass with a lemon and butter sauce, these were perfect and I’d highly recommend them! Also we enjoyed the Duck Rillettes and Brevette Steak buried under a pile of shallots. All washed down with a pleasant Carafe of enjoyable House red, we’ll definitely be back for more again soon.

Short version: Avoid. The place needs new management and fresher seafood. Longer version: This restaurant should, by any accounts be fabulous but it's let down by poor management and questionable seafood quality. Starters: the plain bagette bread and butter was very nice. The prawns were so crumbly that they were anything but fresh, the onion soup lacked any croutons or substance, and the pate was passable at best. Mains : here we had a bit more luck, in that the steaks (both the filet streaks and the Skirt steak were decent enough) and the steak tartare was well received and properly prepped at the table. The duck margret, on the other hand, was far too tough. Sides are hit and miss: the bone marrow and spinach were good but the French fries and gratin dauphenois left much to be desired. Deserts were generally good. Management was just generally poor and the waiting staff seemed harrased and understaffed. Was not impressed on that count at all. For the management alone, I wouldn't recommend or return to this restaurant.

Service, food, price and atmosphere were all excellent! This restaurant went to my list of the top restaurants in London! The onion soup is delicious and the risotto with courgette and cheese is spectacular!

Great French bistro in the heart of Putney. The steak tartare was delicious and is mixed at the table to your liking. Service was friendly and attentive

Went for dinner this evening on a recommendation. Unfortunately I will not be recommending it to anyone else. Slow service, terrible food, wine not great. Chicken liver parfait grainy and watery. The ultimate insult was the bavette steak which came swimming in what looked like dishwater and huge amounts of lukewarm stuff which may once have been shallots. Not once did any of the staff ask if everything was ok with our food. Maybe because they didn't want to hear the answer!

Cute little cafe on the main road of Putney that serves affordable and delicious French food. They have an excellent value lunch course at 12 pounds for two courses. Service is very nice. Would recommend.

In London I've found myself continually asking "seriously, why don't they know how to soft poach a damn egg" when out to breakfast. I mean, it's really not that bloody hard. Luckily, that thought did not pop into my mind AT ALL at Gazette. Gazette delivered the best poached eggs I've had in London thus far. Heck, I'll even go so far as to say it delivered the best brunch I've had in London, like, ever. The omelette was juicy, the potato / mushroom / pancetta / onion fry was simply to die for, and did I mention that the eggs were poached to perfection?! Service was faultless. Can't wait to go back and try their non/brunch items (chopped steak tartare, in looking at you!)

I came back recently and ordered the monday night special - Chateaubriand with chips. It looked small when it came out but it was really filling and I really liked it. It was funny as my friends ordered their steak well done and our waitress really tried to persuade them to change it to at least medium well. I'll definitely come back - curious to see whether the moules frites are any good.

I recently enjoyed a lovely brunch at Gazette, I had the full French and it was huge! Everything seemed like it was presented and cooked with great care. Roasted tomatoes, brie on bread, bacon and mushrooms, soft omelette.... Great setting too, interesting quirky décor, just seconds from Putney High Street. Would be interested in trying their evening meals, some great deals on their website!

Good food served in a very rustic way. The first time I went I had brunch consisting of eggs and toast and since it was close to midday I ordered chips too but the chips weren't very good- overdone and cold.

Beautiful interior and our waiter (seemed to be the manager too) was awesome - knew his stuff and everything he recommended was sublime. We had the tarine tasting platter - mouthwatering and I loved how the bread came in little baskets. Then had the rib eye- wow! And the frites are delicious!! Them desert had the madelines with choc pots. Too good and our red wine was the best. Definitely a favourite and will be taking my parents there in May for anniversary dinner!

What a great place! Amazing service and the food is extremely good. Very good value for money and feels very genuinely French.

Fab authentic French restaurant in Putney. If you love steak frites, you're in for a treat. The snails are great too, 12 (instead of the normal 6) as a starter. I also had pan fried foie gras on the side with my steak which was absolutely delicious (if a little greedy) Wine can be bought by the glass, carafe or bottle which is perfect when you all want more than one glass of different wines. I'll definitely be back.

Went for dinner here last night. Had the snails to start (I love snails ) portion size was amazing. If your not overly hungry you could get them for a main and then just have a side order. On Mondays they have a steak deal £14.50 for their 'best cut' and a side of chips. It was cooked perfectly and I'm really fussy with steak. Id say if you weren't going for a deal it could end up being quite pricey, by in total and with a bottle of house red it worked out at 30 per person.
