Super fast service — we said we didn’t have time and managed to eat within 25 minutes. Salmon, salad and fried Brie were very good. Don’t take the fried calamaris though!

I come to London once a year and when I do I always go to Bistro1 if I'm in the West end. The food and service are always excellent and for an extremely reasonable price.
