Incredible food, one of the best main courses I've ever had. Lamb wellington was just amazing and the reduction sauce was spectacular.

Just wow - a complete haven, you feel like you're entering another world - and your pace naturally slows down from the business of London. Couldn't recommend the food, atmosphere and fantastic service here enough. Already planning a return trip!

French charm, exquisite cuisine, great service.It feels almost like a time travel. It takes you to good old times, somewhere in Paris. The noise of the city is left outside.Nice and cozy interior. Attentive staff. Top quality French cuisine. Feels very authentic.They do Canard de Rouen a la Presse, which is quite rare these days.I had their signature Simmenthal beef tartare. It is skillfully prepared at the table. We had it medium spicy and it was out of this world. The taste, the texture is just a perfection.I also ordered Agneau en Croûte or Lamb Wellington which was an absolute delight. Another dish mastered to a perfection. At one moment I had an illusion of being a jury member at the French cuisine competition and served with a champion dish.Wine list is well balanced and I liked it had some fine half-bottles as well.The only remark I have is for the plateau de fromages. I wish the selection of cheese could be even better.My strong recommendation for anyone looking for an old fashioned small French restaurant in London.And sincere thanks to the team.

Would give more stars if I could. A whole sky of stars for Otto's! We went for a meal to celebrate my dad's birthday, and were absolutely blown away by our evening. The atmosphere, service and attention to detail were amazing, and the special thought taken for the birthday celebrations was really moving. The restaurant itself is beautiful, it felt like we'd stepped into another world.Everyone was so polite, helpful and above all genuine. There was a feeling of being truly welcome which means we can't wait to come back. Believe me when I say this is a restaurant experience like no other. And the food. The food! The best steak I have ever eaten in London. Heavenly scallops, beautiful snails, ambrosial white burgundy and the perfect vodka martini. The crepes suzette are a must. We can't wait to come back - thank you Otto and team!

Characterful classic French restaurant with the inimitable Otto flambéeing tableside and wielding the antique duck and lobster presses.Incredible food and utterly magical atmosphere - unforgettable!

Otto's is some of the best French food we've had! We're visiting London from NYC and were impressed. Oliver knew the menu from top to bottom and delivered truly exceptional service. My wife is pregnant and he was able to guide us through food restrictions. A gem of a restaurant for sure. Some very light background music may be a nice addition to the dining experience!

Some great food, lovely cozy ambience, and amazing people. The prawn avocado salad was the perfect balance of fresh and savoury, beef tartare (hand prepared in front of you!) was so fresh and deliciously spicy. We spent 4+ hours chatting over dinner and Oliver also kindly catered for one of my friend’s broken arm by offering to cut up some food. The wine was also lovely and the selection huge (and great recommendations were given). Would definitely recommend for a date night or a special occasion.

Excellent food and service. Our starter was late due to human error, but we were well compensated, including free wine and a special dessert. I ordered the calf's brain (which was really nice, even though I was a bit scared at first) and the lamb Wellington. The wines were absolutely fantastic. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. Five stars.Also an inspiring name of the restaurant. Very cool.
