Having been set up by two master sommeliers I was expecting a restaurant with alright food but decent wine. I was wrong! The food at Cabotte is as outstanding as the wine - and the attentive friendly staff make navigating a huge wine list easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended as a place for that special occasion

The wine list is the main attraction for me, the range of Bourgogne wines available by the glass in particular.The food appeared to be priced as well as any other decent restaurant in the City but that isnt really the point.

Stopped in here for a apero hour as we had reservations elsewhere but the wine menu was great and we enjoyed some olives and gougeres. The staff knew their wines! The full food menu looked great too... will need to go back to try it for sure!

Service is good and friendly but small portion, non-surprising taste, expensive for its size and taste. Dish layout is beautiful but taste could be improved. My friends ordered steak and it was over cooked. Another friend’s Sea bream risotto was too salty. I was probably lucky as I felt my seabass wasn’t bad.

Stumbled in here for lunch by accident, and glad we did! Absolutely delectable, and the best sourdough bread I’ve had at any restaurant in London. Impeccable service. I only wish I was drinking at lunch too!

Very central and pleasant modern French place. Food was really tasty if a bit pricey, but that comes with the location. The restaurant had a very modern choice to it and Ill definitely return one in a while to check their new dishes.

One word - amazing! If I could give 6 stars - I most certainly would. This was Michelin quality experience of French cuisine! From starter through main course and into desert - every single bite was delightful, full of taste and perfectly executed! My biggest compliments to the chef. Thank you for such wonderful and inspirational food. My wild black bream served with lobster bisque was out of this world!. My husband immensly enjoyed his pheasant. And both of our deserts were to die for. We had Lemon and Orange cake and a Financier (which is an almond kind of sponge) with pears and goosberries. Apple tart looked great too at the next table.Wine list is extensive beyond measure, mostly French wine. But sommelier was so helpful and lovely - we got recomended exectly what we wanted! Great service thoughout, including our waitress and even our host.And the design and ambience inside are beautiful and relaxing.Highly recommend this place. Just be aware it is expensive - amazing place to celebrate an occasion.

Staff is friendly and attentive, but a little disappointed with the food. Both me & my partners main were a little too salty, its okay but not impressive. Maybe its just a mishap and we were just unfortunate.

Dinner here last night as a four to celebrate my friends engagement, fantastic service, great food, exceptional wine.Highly recommend.Only suggestions would be to request full wine list when seated as opposed to the initial sheet, youll be pleasantly surprised when seeing full list.Will return!

Very strong list of Burgundy (although a bit pricey well it’s Burgundy we are talking about here). The food quality is very good. I heart Blandford Comptoir though:)

Very bad service that unfortunately leaves no other option than a minimum rating. For this price level service needs to be outstanding. Way inferior to other nearby restaurants such as Goodmans.

Lively, efficient and friendly staff front this authentic Burgundian restaurant. They do classic dishes better than youll find in the region - oeuf meurette for one - and brilliant cheese. The wine list is stuffed with goodies, many of them affordable. Even the atmosphere is good, especially for the city. A lovely evening and highly recommended.

We were excited to try Cabotte, and even more so when we managed to get a reserved bar space on a same day reso. The only possible seating as tables were all booked. When we arrived we were happy to sit at the bar, a very comfy velvet clad, seat backed stool, with a display of the restaurant. The Maitred seemed very intent on seating us at a table he managed to expertly maneuver for us, so we moved. We expressed if a reservation would need the table after all we were ok to move back to the bar.Food was not great, not magnifique, maybe just OK. The sweatbreads were cold, and I felt lacking in seasoning and depth of flavor. My pear cheese tartine, and salad were delicious. I had the hake for an entree, which was essentially a half of a fish fillet. While tasty, all portions at the table were very small. My colleagues duck was also served barely warm and the portion size scant.We ordered a half bottle of white and a bottle of red. We had just finished our entrees, plates still in front of us, when the Maitred returned asking us if we can be moved to have our dessert. While that wasnt what we meant when we offered to move back to the bar, we agreed to move and it turns out, its by the cold front door. He did give us 20% off our meal for doing so, but he ruined our meal and dining experience. Desserts were good and we also ordered more after dinner wine.Overall, Cabotte is ok for a fairly expensive meal ($130 per person) with ok service and ok food. Our dinner out the night before, for half the price, was much better.

I love this place since we discovered a few months ago. We were looking for a nice wine bar near Bank and indeed, Cabotte being owned by two French sommeliers has amazing wines but also the food is fantastic. A few weeks back I was fussing over my fish which was not cooked enough and going back last Friday I was greeted with open arms and ensured that the fish will be perfectly cook this time without me even mentioning anything. This makes you to come back many times, was so surprised they remembered after such a long time. The atmosphere is very nice, super friendly and attentive service. It is a place for a date night but also for a dinner with a few friends. I think the chef will keep us surprising with new amazing dishes not shy away from Michelin star restaurant quality.

Food doesnt get any more French than this .... Excellent all round. Duck egg entrée was particularly good. They have an comprehensive wine list and also use a Corivan so you can get a glass of aged Burgundy - something that is pretty rare to find.

Review №85

Being run by 2 sommeliers, the wine list is exceptional. The lamb was extremely tender and the side of leek gratin accompanied it nicely. Highlight was the tarte tatin for desert - a Crispy base and caramelised top with a dollop of clotted cream.
