I had a wonderful lunch at Soutine with a friend recently. The French food and drinks were exceptional, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service by Patrick and Ledina was outstanding—attentive and warm. A delightful experience we both can’t wait to repeat!

Soutine, nestled in St. John's Wood, is a delightful French restaurant offering enjoyable dining experience. The Chicken Schnitzel was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked – tender and juicy – the accompanying sauce was incredibly flavourful, complementing the dish beautifully. The wine selection was great with both the Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc proving excellent choices. They also had a good selection of dessert wines, a nice touch. To finish, we indulged in the superb apple tart. Overall, Soutine offers a nice atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly, helpful staff. I liked the gesture of taking our coats, so we had plenty of space and didn't have to worry about carrying coats and umbrellas. Highly recommended – a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for French food.

What a wonderful restaurant. We are local and was out taking photos of our friends and this place is just stunning. The food was lovely, the ambiance superb and the customer service outstanding. We were attended to by Bela who was 1st class. Thanks to everyone there for a lovely experience.

I Absolutely love this restaurant. I came here with my fiancee for lunch as we were given a gift card from a family member. It was our first time here. I booked a table in advance via email. Helen was very helpful in assisting me with this and it was very simple . On arrival we were greeted by 2 members of staff with lovely smiles , Juan and another lady both showed us to our table I didn't catch her name but she was nice to us both. We sat down and another waiter served us, he was lovely and had a great sense of humour. Lots of laughs and made us feel welcome too. We ordered olives and bread as we just wanted something light to start. The bread arrived warm and butter was freshly made in house. It was a very generous portion for 5 as well. I thought it would just be a few slices but it wasnt. This certainly came as a surprise , we ate it all and enjoyed it. I must add the butter was very tasty. Weird thing to say but ive not had real fresh butter in years so this made me smile. , my fiancee ordered a special of the day with was a ribeye.I ordered the steak frites and salad. Both steaks were cooked to perfection , melt in the mouth and most certainly worth every penny. The accompanying sauces were freshly made too. It was so tasty!! The flat iron steak (steak frites dish ) was much thicker that I thought it was going to be. I was delighted by this. The staff were efficient, they did ask us if we were finished before clearing our table for our desserts. I ordered the apple tart fine. My partner ordered the vanilla cheesecake. We both agreed that the apple tart was sublime! It was the best apple tart I've ever eaten. I would most certainly recommend this couples, family, friends. The restaurant itself is stunning inside, i loved the character of it and it is spotless. I could find no fault of this restaurant and it was refreshing to find a place with such high standards and everyone being friendly too. I will most certainly be back and have recommended already to family and friends. I felt so special here. The service, the food, everything was perfect! Thank you again to all who interacted with us and served us. From the moment we were greeted at the beginning to the moment we left, all the staff were friendly, attentive and smiling. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn't feel rushed at any point and we loved feeling like a VIP here. Thank you to you all at Soutine.

The pan-fried salmon was good. The steak was pan-fried well, but the quality of the meat itself was very ordinary, not like the quality of meat that a fancy restaurant should have. Good vibe.
