Good for business meals

Located just off Trafalgar Square and around the corner from the London Coliseum, Les Deux Salons has two new main rooms – deux salons; a French restaurant with private dining spaces on the first floor and an all-day café, bistro, bar, épicerie and cave à vin on the ground floor.

While definitely not formal, the restaurant is a little more upmarket with a special service, but never stuffy or complex. There’s a superior range of ingredients, including Native oysters, lobster, truffles, wild mushrooms, Dover sole, wild salmon, Anjou pigeon and côte de veau, as well as game birds in season. Plus, there’s always have a rack of lamb for two. The dessert menu is also a little more sophisticated, and includes a glamorous soufflé. An experienced sommelier team to help promote our extensive all-French wine list.

Very disappointing evening planned to meet some old friends. We had booked a table for 4 in the restaurant but when we arrived we were told the restaurant was closed for renovations but they had reserved a table in the ground floor Bistro where we were given the Restaurant menu. The Bistro was uncomfortably noisy and rather scruffy - not even a tablecloth. This was not at all what we had expected. Food was well cooked generally but poorly presented. One of our party had ordered a steak which was well seasoned but the accompanying bearnaise sauce was separating. The Lobster was delicious. Bacon served with liver was tough and salty. All in all very disappointing and expensive for a mediocre experience. We shall not be coming to Les deux salons anytime soon.

Lovely building, good (if not spectacular) food, let down slightly by occasionally clunky service (e.g. having to ask for water refills and cutlery on a few occasions) and a sense that it is slightly over priced. Would happily go back but good rather than outstanding

The service was very slow upstairs. It seemed that everyone downstairs was being seen to. Also the plaice almandine was so full of bones it was inedible. Sadly it has put us off returning, having spent many happy meals there in the past.

I asked for a quiet table as my friend is partially deaf. We had a lovely corner table and the staff had kept the table next to us free. The restaurant is spacious and very comfy. The food is good French food and the deserts are delicious (try the tasting desert choice).

I took a friend for an informal meal at Les Deux Salons - we enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was very good and the menu fine. My food (fish) was very nice, but my friend chose the bavette steak, which was so tough she couldn't cut it, despite asking and receiving a sharper knife! I was a bit surprised we weren't offered a discount, although the waiter did apologise when he saw she hadn't eaten more than about half.
