L’Escargot – London We chose L’Escargot for dinner after learning it was one of Princess Diana’s favorite restaurants, and my wife insisted we try it. Our group of five had a 7 pm reservation. Service: The staff was warm and friendly. Even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy that evening, service was on the slower side—something to keep in mind if you’re used to the faster pace of American dining. Food: • Appetizers: The French onion soup was one of the best we’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. The seafood lobster soup was creamy and indulgent. And of course, the escargot was excellent—the butter and green pesto sauce made it a standout. • Mains: The smoked haddock was not our favorite—it came in a heavy cheese-based preparation that wasn’t clearly described on the menu. On the other hand, the lamb was tender, flavorful, and highly recommended. • Dessert: If you plan to order a soufflé, do it early—it takes at least 30 minutes to prepare, but it’s worth the wait. Extra Tip: Don’t miss the charming live piano bar upstairs—just follow the staircase after dinner for a lovely way to end the evening. Overall, L’Escargot offers a classic French dining experience with standout starters and a touch of royal history. Perfect for a special night out in London.
