Langan's Brasserie (Mayfair)

• The ambiance is great with the place buzzing even mid week and the service very friendly makes it a relaxing evening
• Its a little expensive but with this location that must unfortunately be expected
• Most of the famous Langan art collection was sold at auction in late 2012
• A scallop shell contained sliced scallops with a crust of breadcrumbs and chorizo
• My only criticism is that the dressing for the salad was a bit sharp
• Pleasant Marie rose sauce but lobster that was served in rather large chunks and was not perfectly tender
• Red cabbage was tender enough
• Had too much sweetness and not enough vinegar (12/20) though French beans were carefully cooked (14/20)
• Veal Holstein is a very retro dish named after Count Holstein
• It being a Weiner Schnitzel topped with an egg to add just a few more calories to a slab of deep fried meat
• Chocolate fondant had a hazelnut ice cream topping and was suitably rich
• The warm liquid chocolate filling was enjoyable (14/20)
• Chocolate ice cream was good but mango sorbet had a slightly grainy texture (13/20)
• The cooking was between 13/20 and 14/20
• Every window pane has Langan name with illuminated red fluorescent lights
• Is a semi hemisphere enclosure draped with thick velvet curtain
• Stepping inside Langan's is like a transformation from the pandemonium on Piccadilly Street
• Peter Langan and Richard Shepherd were the three that brought Langan Brasserie to where it is now with a menu that
• The dining room on the ground floor is just a massive 'L' shaped room
• Private rooms are available for hire on the 1st floor
• I do not think there is a formal dress code but the lunch diners are largely on business
• I am glad that there was no background music to compete
• Comfortably warm but the toilets are like cold rooms
• Many diners were already gay and merry halfway through their main courses
• Countless cups of Irish coffee were ordered after
• Not sure if they were trying to sober up just enough to make their journey home but still in keeping with the tipsy spirit
• It is hard work trying to cope and keep sane with the crowd as such
• Langan's Brasserie is a proper London brasserie serving just good honest
• I am afraid that there is no room left for desserts
• Just a pot of peppermint tea (akin to having chinese tea with chicken rice) to ease the surfeited stomach
• Generous portion of cod served with proper tartar sauce
• I substituted the chips with mashed potatoes
• Grilled sea bream with marinated peppers GBP 19.50 &ndash
• Slow roast shoulder of lamb with boulangere potatoes GBP 17.50 &ndash
• Cutlery etiquette should be forgiven with a dish like as it only does justice to the chef and plate of food to use my hands
• Langan's is an elegant London restaurant with a really nice atmosphere but a menu that I wouldn't travel far
• Coming to Langan's is a nice experience
• The restaurant is elegant and the service is really great
• I thought that the menu was more British than typical brasserie food
• I felt that the menu was really not extensive and we had very few choices
• As always the best Brasserie in London
• Lunch with my old school pal a delight and the Rhubarb Crumble with Ginger Ice Cream spectacular taste
• Fine dining is something which is completely foreign and scary to me
• I managed to win a meal through work so was super excited to finally try something new
• The decor of Langan's Brasserie (Mayfair) is simple but very impressive
• The staff were so friendly and as expected the service was first class
• Everything was well cooked and the choices were very enticing
• Can't wait to go back when we are next in town
