Savoir Faire Restaurant 42 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1EP

"Very nice dinner served by polite and nice staff. It is not very cheap but definitely worth the price. The onion soup, lamb shank and duck were all cooked well. Highly recommend to someone wants to have a nice modern French cuisine."

"Lovely restaurant. Generous portions, very tasty food - everything was very rich, lots of butter and cream was used! Absolutely lovely meal. One star knocked off as I've had better creme brulees, it was okay but not great compared to the other courses. 3 courses for 2 & a bottle of wine came to £115 Inc service charge. Mario and his team were friendly and kind. Will definitely return."

"Used a Groupon here (paid 24 pounds to use 60) and made a reservation online in advance. Atmosphere and music were strange. Server was a little cold and unwelcoming. Fresh baguette with butter (free) was so addicting. Fish dishes were quite good (although I requested my salmon to be slightly undercooked and they managed to overcook it a bit anyway), especially the vegetables (so buttery!). My friend and I shared the duck but had to send it back because it was dry, overcooked, and tough. Second time was the charm and it tasted much better. Would come back again because of the Groupon deal but would never pay full price. Four stars for the value. Without Groupon, I probably would have rated 2.5."

"An comforting boutique french cuisine after visiting the British Museum. Waitor has a unique humble manner. Dishes (with photos) we ordered were pleasant and delicious. Love the wall painting and ceiling quotes."

"Pretty good food and a great deal on Groupon. £20 to spend towards £40 of foods and drinks or £30 to spend towards £60 of foods & drinks. Only 1 voucher can be used on a table. You can also only order foods on the a la carte menu, not the set menu. Before your meal, you get a complementary basket of bread (slices of baguettes) with rich Irish butter. We had 3 mains: Entrecote Steak, Pan roasted Duck Magret and Poisson Du Jour (pan fried Hake) to share. We ordered a medium rare entrecote steak which was tender and seasoned quite well. The chips though were slightly disappointing, they don't look or taste like restaurant quality chips. They weren't particularly fluffy inside nor crispy enough on the outside. Its side salad was also not impressive with barely any sauce. Quite bland to be honest. The Pan roasted duck Magret/breast was well-seasoned, though could be less well-done/more tender. I love the sweet potato mash and beets sauce, they complement well with the duck. The side roasted vegetables were nicely done too. Overall a lovely dish. My favourite dish had to be the chef's pan fried Hake. A well cooked piece of fish with a rich and creamy mushroom sauce. This is what I call restaurant quality food. Yum! The service was good, though not very fast considering that it was a relatively quiet lunch service. The dinning space was a little tight and the decor looked outdated. It also had an odd, almost musty odour, especially on the way to the toilets in the basement. Not my favourite dining atmosphere I'd say. Overall, I think the food is good, although there is room for improvements. The Groupon voucher definitely made the meal a lot more affordable. I would consider coming back with a voucher but I wouldn't pay the full price to dine here. I would give this restaurant a 3.5 stars but the voucher bumped it up to a 4."
