Truc Vert in City of London

I don't understand the bad reviews although I didn't just mooch in for a coffee as a cheap option to rest my legs after a hard day shopping. Instead I went for a meal. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful without being overbearing, and the atmosphere relaxed and romantic. Already planning next visit and we've not yet left.

I had the worst coffee I've ever had here. The iced coffee was watery and tasted really bad. We also had a cappuccino which was served boiling and therefore burnt. It's also expensive, stay away from this place!!!

Very nice environment, had a breakfast there, the food is ok, friendly stuff. However the hot chocolate could be better

Seems similar to many other places in this area, serving expensive food to tourists. Wasn't overly impressed by the main course I had though it was OK. The cheese platter was pretty good afterwards.

Really unpleasant and rude staff, and the food is terrible. Overcooked omelettes, small portions and very vinegary eggs Benedict. £1.50 for a side order of avocado that was 3 slices. Avoid!

Unfortunately my experience was different than most of the reviewers here. Two things for me were very dissappointing. First, staff was not very professional and not prompt at all. We were initially mixed up with people who will pay with a voucher, even though we made a booking through their web site and gave our name at the door. That could have been a honest mistake but then we had to wait 15 minutes to catch someone's attention so we can pay our bill at the end.Second, my main course, duck a l'orange was simply bad food. It wasn't tasty and it felt like meat wasn't fresh.Starters were just OK. Bread selection we ordered was only 2 different kind and 2 pieces each.I guess I was expecting a bit more than this and considering the money I paid there, I should have had a better service and food.

Everything was quite average. Would have expected something more for the price, but it wasn't bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this to someone but it was quite good.

Great food (although at those prices, you would hope so) and nice decor, but the service was pretty terrible. Three of them would stand round the till chatting as we're all sat waiting to order. Took the drinks order initially, but didn't bother asking me!

Stopped in for dinner on a recommendation from my parents. Wonderful food, nice atmosphere. Seems like a place you where could either take a date or a few colleagues for a biz dinner. Will be back for sure.Note: work traveler from US

Truc vert became my favorite restaurant / cafe in Mayfair. The decor is very pleasant, the food tasty and the ambiance very sophisticated, relaxing and soothing. Found the vegetables cleverly cooked, neither too raw neither too soft. The flavours always both elegant and complex, simple but with a creative undertone to them. Highly recommended!
