An oasis of classy calm on Baker Street, Bistrot De Luxe shines without the sweeping views and high-drama interiors of the Galvin brothers' other ventures in the capital. Some readers even prefer it over a trip to the continent: ‘if the Eurostar is having problems, just hop in a cab to W1 and pretend you're in Paris', advises a fan of Bistrot's metropolitan magic and ‘consistently excellent' food. You'd hardly be living a lie if you indulged in an endive, Roquefort and caramelised walnut salad followed by Landaise chicken suprême with rosemary butter sauce, ‘unbeatable' crab ravioli or ‘the best cassoulet I've ever had – in London or France'. To conclude, ‘divine' desserts include baba au rhum with crème Chantilly. Not all correspondents understand the ‘hype', and busy sessions can result in inattentive service, but the masculine mahogany interiors and ‘good value' wines add a certain Gallic charm that wins over most punters.
Le Bar at Bistrot de Luxe: This private area seats up to 22 seated guests, or 30 at a canapé reception. Choose from a selection of set menus, with wine recommendations from the head sommelier. Room hire £200.

The past 12 months have seen the Galvin brothers win yet more plaudits in culinary circles. Galvin at Windows at the London Hilton on Park Lane was awarded a Michelin star, while Galvin Bistrot de Luxe continues to gain fame as an intestimable big-city eatery. In 2009 Chris & Jeff launched Galvin La Chapelle - their first foray into the Square Mile. It's been a seamless transition from employees to burgeoning restaurateurs for the brothers, who launched Bistrot in 2005 & Windows in 2006. Before that, Chris was picking up acclaim at former Conran eatery Orrery & A-list hangout The Wolseley, while Jeff held a Michelin star for five years when he was executive chef at L'Escargot.

Saying it straight :: Galvin Bistrot de Luxe. Use your bus pass.
It’s the sort of place you could take your grandmother. Or someone really dull. It won’t scare them. Unusually, there were a lot of people there over the age of 50 which is always an unexpected pleasure in a Central London restaurant these days especially since I am approaching a milestone birthday of my own and need to know where these places are. Perhaps the oldies like it because this isn’t trendy or quirky and doesn’t have any gimmicks. Or play any music. It’s a simple brasserie, reasonably priced and with competent service. It’s the very first in the Galvin chain and very different to the other Galvin offerings...
