For those not in the know one would simply pass by Saint Jacques, unfortunately mistaking it for another overpriced central London sub-par restaurant… Fortunately we took the plunge and we’re more than happy with the what was provided. The veal chop and apricot tarte tatin were enough to keep us going back for more. Richard (proprietor) was simply charming!

Excellent food and service. A great addition to St James's life. The menu is short and French, the wine list is long, interesting and well priced. The service is brisk and friendly. A lovely local restaurant.

Best French restaurant in London! A hidden gem in the heart of the West End. Amazing food severed in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are attentive and fun and the proprietor Richard makes you feel welcome and at ease. Definitely can’t wait to return! 🍷(The court yard is the best place to spend a long lunch)

Absolutely amazing lunch, food was delicious and Richard made us cry with laughter all throughout. Free champagne on the house was a fantastic ending to a lovely afternoon.

Good restaurant, interesting menu, good choice of wine, well prepared food. Service was friendly, but the atmosphere was not great. With half empty restaurant on a Saturday evening it looked like staff was not too enthusiastic. Toilets have to be refurbished. I do not believe anything was done there since the change of ownership. Some investments are recommended into heating. With 10C outside it was chilly inside and I saw some clients did not take their coats off. I am not expecting to come back.

Last week we had a rather belated "Sam Lane Photography Christmas Party" and thankfully chose a warm, dry night to sit outside in the secluded courtyard terrace. We enjoyed some fabulous dishes (starters: scallops, soufflé, foie gras; mains: rib of beef and steak); paired with some amazing wines. And we finished with some delicious desserts - pear tart to share, crême brûlé... A very, very nice evening indeed!

Really pleasant bistro at the bottom of St James. Really well prepared French cuisine with a good wine list. This has become a regular for us and since there's always something new on the menu it keeps it interesting. The mid-week lunchtime menu always has something tasty to try.

Went there for a family birthday and I must say the service was awful. Waiters, bar one were miserable and unwelcoming. Ruined the evening really. Food was nice but would not go back. Also, when I ordered the crepe suzette and I asked the waiter was it not flambéed. He just said to me, "yes it was, I did it over there" Shocking really. My only regret is I didn't ask them to remove the service charge.

Traditional and classy. This really delivers the St James experience. Incredibly friendly team, and first class flavours. Courtyard out the back a delightful extra when warm.

Amazing birthday dinner. Very welcoming staff and amazing food. Thank you Saint Jacques for such a special dinner!

Outstanding meal. Delicious true French gastronomie. Impeccable service where you can take your time to enjoy your food not being rushed and can have the pleasure of seeing Crêpes Suzette made in front of you! A restaurant where you feel at ease and have an excellent time. Not forgetting to mention the very nice wine menu.

I came to the restaurant for the breakfast , hase been seated. And 2 min later the waitress said that kitchen is closed for breakfast, i can have only coffee. I make online reservation for a table for breakfast, choose time. Walked 15 min from my hotel . It was very unprofessional. So 1 star only for that . Didnt have a chance to try a food unfortunately.

Absolutely hands down the best French cuisine I've had! If you're looking for a top tier place that won't empty your wallet this little gem will wow anyone you bring! The staff was phenomenal, knowledgeable and fun. They really brought the whole experience together. The restaurant is beautiful, but doesn't make you feel intimidated by how fancy it is, I really appreciated that aspect. Top notch wine selection too, 11/10 would go again.

Short staffed but very nice restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere and good food. Ample servings as well.

Small restaurant, good food, not much decor.

A must stop for good food and great service. The food was exceptional. The wine was exquisite and the desert vanilla soufflé was outstanding. Really enjoyed being able to taste a variety of items for a reasonable cost and the staff and owner were attentive and professional. Great experience and would return and recommend.
