Harden's survey result
Summary
For a “really good-value meal” (including a “pretty decent steak-frites”) “in the heart of the West End” it’s hard to beat this Soho brasserie. “The simplicity of the menu” and “wide variety of choices” mean “there’s something for everyone”, so it’s “a real go-to”, especially for its set-price lunch or pre-theatre deals.
Summary
“Affordable French bistro cooking”, a “wide range of dishes” and “decent portion sizes” make this Gallic outfit (like its nearby stablemate Pierre Victoire) “just the thing for a Soho bite”. It provides truly “exceptional value” for lunch and pre-theatre, but beware the price jump from 6pm, when it switches to an à la carte format.
Summary
“A decent French option in Soho”, with a “good varied menu” – this brasserie (sibling to nearby Pierre Victoire) provides “excellent value for the West End”. It’s especially “handy for the early fixed-priced menus”; after 6pm, despite the name, it moves to an à la carte format – which “isn’t as much to shout about”.
Summary
“Unostentatious and slightly lacking in character”, this “basic, cheap ’n’ cheerful French-style bistro” (sibling to Pierre Victoire) offers “good, honest cooking and excellent value” in the heart of the West End – “more enjoyable, with better food, than many a swankier venue”.

Prix Fixe Restaurant Diner Reviews
"A buzzing French-style brasserie with excellent service and attractive atmosphere. The choice is unusually wide for a set lunch and pre-theatre dinner, while the dishes are well executed and flavoursome. Lifts the spirits "
"Good spot for quick lunch and friendly sunday opening hours. Came as group of 10 and waitress was v accommodating when 3 of our party were delayed due to terrible train delays. Food is nice and good variety of french and less french food. slightly annoying everything has a supplemental price on the prix fixe menu - why bother - should do the french thing where you have a 25£ option and a £35 option "
