The ambience is great. It has a trendy vibe and artistic decoration. It is in Selfridges, so it is good to visit after shopping.

The food seemed to be Asian fusion with European. We had scallops for starters, but they were served one dish at a time instead of together. I don't know why, as they didn’t explain it. We had chicken breast and lamb for our mains. The chicken was with teriyaki sauce. Overall, the taste was TOO salty and strong for me.

The staff paid attention to our wine glasses to pour the wine. I liked the violinists who were playing live in front of the customers.

It is an interesting restaurant to visit to chill out, but the food isn’t to my taste and below average. I would probably go back there for drinks after shopping to rest my legs, as I like the atmosphere.

Had a nice brunch here, I liked the Eggs Royale. Quite fancy and unique decor, and it's a good place for drinks too. Felt a little let down by the attentiveness of the service though. Expect prices in line with the area.

The place is absolutely gorgeous! We went there for Sunday brunch and it was a lovely experience.

The truffle croquettes were fantastic, the zucchini fries were very flavourful albeit more oily than anticipated, the chicken Milanese was great but get some fries with it and the egg dishes were ok.

I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a lush experience!

I’ve heard amazing things about The Brasserie of Light. In my experience, the best thing was the decor. Prices were reasonable but I feel it is more for presentation. The food was unfortunately nothing special. The bread was fresh and warm which was nice. My dish in particular, The Baby Gem, Apple and Grape Salad, did not contain any grapes despite being in the name of the salad. It also had an amass of cheese which was not mentioned on the menu. Although fresh it lacked flavour. So overall, very underwhelming, and my fellow diners agreed. We saw some fantastic cocktails being delivered to other tables so drinks may be a reason to revisit. The tables are also situated very close together to make for as many diners as possible which can make it somewhat uncomfortable at times. Service was good in general but the restaurant was very understaffed.

What great experience. Friendly staff. Everything was perfect specially the appetizer was delicious and new idea of serving beetroot. Really enjoy it the egg bendicit and the poached egg cooked as i like runny yolk with harden white egg. Thank you for having us and hope to had another experience in the near future

The atmosphere is incredible! The design and lighting of the restaurant are wonderful as well as the service. Food is very delicious, however I would not recommend the steak as it was nothing special. Salmon and chicken Milanese were more delicious. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Booked for a celebratory dinner, absolutely loved the interior from the bar to even the toilets. Friendly staff. Great food from main to dessert & the tastiest mock-tails.
Only downfall is it can be quite loud when busy, however I’d had ask to move and was able to be seated somewhere quieter. Definitely would recommend & revisit!

Went for an evening dinner here. The menu is surprisingly affordable considering it's London. I didn't order any starters, the cocktails were good (ranging from £8-12 approx). For mains I chose the steak, was done very well according to my preference, not a lot of chefs do it correctly so that was very pleasing. The steak sauce (peppercorn) was very nice although wish it came with butter on the side. The french fries were a side order which was crispy and on point. All the hot food was served correctly on time and had the right temperature. For dessert we were recommended the snowball dessert (unfortunately cannot recall its name) which had orange sorbet inside when the white hot chocolate is poured on the dome. Looked really nice and ideal for a Instagram video however the sweetness was far too much for my liking, it was an overkill. Most of the items in the dessert menu did look very tempting! For one person the bill can range from £30-60 depending on starters, drinks and sides ordered. The interiors are very classy and beautiful, very neat and tidy however it can feel quite crowded as most seats are close together. The staff were very friendly and helpful in choosing items from the menu as well. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would go back again on special occasions.
