Private Dining 2014
L’ESCARGOT
L’Escargot is London’s oldest and most celebrated French restaurant.
Situated in the heart of Soho this beautiful restaurant has been the haunt
of the good and the great for almost one hundred years and is an especially
admired retreat of stars of stage and screen. Coco Chanel visited shortly
after the restaurant opened, and it was a regular haunt of Maurice Chevalier.
John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson would often dine here after a show; it
was also a favourite of Princess Diana.
The Private Rooms at L’Escargot are ideal for private parties whether they be
special celebrations, corporate entertaining, business meetings or pre or post
theatre meals. The rooms are comfortable and have been decorated to a high
standard, celebrating eccentric French design. We can cater for a small
sit-down lunch or dinner for 10 or a larger cocktail party for up to 100
guests. Seated parties can be a maximum of sixty guests. Book launches
and wine tastings are a speciality.
L’Escargot has an eclectic art collection, both traditional and contemporary
with work by Peter Blake, Lucien Freud, Salvador Dali, Laura Knight, John
Bratby and Henri Matisse.
The restaurant is renowned for its French bourgeois cuisine, and menus
change with the seasons. The Chef de Cuisine is Oliver Lesnik who has a
distinguished career having trained at The Connaught Hotel. There is an
excellent wine-list with over 250 bins.
A dedicated sales co-ordinator will oversee every detail of your party
to ensure that your every need is accommodated and your event is an
outstanding success.
L’Escargot offers the perfect environment for a successful outcome; and
most importantly we have been praised for the quality of the service we offer
and the friendliness of our staff.
Vous êtes le bienvenue !
