Relais De Venise City Of London Branch

Extremely, EXTREMELY busy on a Monday night, I guess because their Marylebone branch was closed for refurbishment. We’ve been trying to come to this restaurant for years now but can never go due to the massive queues, so we thought we’d try on a Monday and at a branch in the middle of nowhere, surely no one would go…. But how wrong we were. Super packed and massive queues (although as we were 2 it moved quickly for us). The staff, as another reviewer perfectly put it, are very impersonal and you can’t even ask them for something without them huffing and puffing and I get it it’s a fast paced restaurant and they were busy so they didn’t have time to waste, but you can be nice to your customer...

I don't see why everyone raves about this restaurant. They don't take reservations, so you have to wait outside in line for average food that is overpriced. The steak is just okay and the overall food quality is nothing special. The main attraction seems to be the set menu which includes a small salad, dry baguette, a basic steak, and a lot of fries, all served on small plates. You get a second serving of steak and fries as well. The steak comes with a small amount of their special sauce. The atmosphere is hectic and it's hard to get the attention of the servers. The service is quick but not very friendly, and they charge an extra 10% for it. Overall, not worth the wait.

We try the menu that they have, first a classic salad with nuts and a mustard vinaigrette and then the meat of good quality and good cooking point the salsa type paris very good accompanied by homemade fries, the best thing they do is a second pass repeating dish so that the meat does not cool while eating quiet, average price 30/35 pounds per person.

This location is always full and I feel like the waitresses hurry your meal as much as possible, even putting food on your plate without asking which made me eat it cold. The only nice thing about this location is that you wait in line inside but I still prefer to go to Marleybone and have nice waitresses. Réservez une table maintenant

DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT. Delicious steak, crispy chips, and salad with a flavorful mustard dressing. The meringue dessert was a bit difficult to eat, as it was chewy and got stuck in our teeth. The service from the ladies was warm and welcoming!

Sit down. Have some wine. Eat some steak. Good to go. No fluff or faff. No butter with that fantastic baguette either. Great steak frites. Would go back often if I worked in the city, less so otherwise.

Fantastic as always. Came over to City from Marylebone as that one was shut for a refurb, but well worth the trip
