Square Meal Review of La Trompette ?

‘Quiet but brilliant food, and the best place in west London for lunch', observes a typical fan of Chiswick's most cherished restaurant – an affable mix of foodie destination and neighbourly local bolthole. La Trompette's combination of slick, knowledgeable service and ‘consistently superb' food with keen prices and a refreshing lack of Michelin-starred pomposity is certainly a winner – and a ‘real treat' for its many admirers. The kitchen melds the gutsy flavours of France's Midi with influences from here and there – anything from roast cod with Provençal tomato, salt cod and gremolata or ‘the best' chateaubriand with hand-cut chips to braised rabbit-leg ‘saltimbocca' with gnocchi, cavolo nero, mushroom purée, and sage or char-grilled skate with sag aloo, yoghurt, tamarind and mango. To finish, the tarte Tatin is unmissable, and it would be a sin to ignore the brilliant cheeseboard. The exceptionally sourced and priced, 600-bin wine list is a tribute to sommelier Matthieu Longuere's diligence and knowledge.

Sommelier’s Award

La Trompette’s list is wonderfully wide ranging, and stuffed full of superb wines. With a local clientele, mostly spending their own (as opposed to company) money, this list is about covering all bases rather than about showing off. Other lists have more – and more expensive – Burgundies, Bordeaux, and Tuscans, but none have such consistently well-chosen examples. This is a list where La Trompette head sommelier Matthieu Longuere’s diligence, professionalism and understanding of his customers leaps off the page.

    SmellyLion :: La Trompette review

    So to La Trompette, named, we found out from a lovely chatty maitre'd (I think, I was absent for the introduction) after the trompette mushroom. They have recently undergone a massive renovation and the decor has changed from cozy and warm to light and airy, perfect for an early dinner on the terrace outside which we opted for...

    samphire and salsify :: La Trompette

    Michelin starred La Trompette resides in Chiswick and comes from the restaurant empire of Nigel Platts-Martin. He owns The Glasshouse, Chez Bruze, The Square and The Ledbury which hold quite a few Michelin stars between them so we had high hopes for our dinner. We arrived on a Monday evening and it was very busy. White table cloths covered each table yet the atmosphere was relaxed. One table had a crying baby in a push chair and another family were dining with their two young children. The place had a family friendly neighbourhood vibe...

  3. Made a return visit after a gap of a couple of years to La Trompette in Chiswick. The area was livelier than I remembered, lots more interesting shops and restaurants. The weather was good so the full length windows were open to effectively extend the restaurant into the outside space...
