    Amazing dinner. Lovely food and cocktails. Cameron was very knowledgeable with the cocktails and it was nice having the chef coming out and discussing food cooking techniques. Laura was the absolute star of the evening, very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Can't recommend this place more.

    Food was great! Service was great!! Food looks good and tastes as good or even better than it looks! Really, run don’t walk before they become too popular. I think it might be the location, otherwise it would be so full!

    It is a delightful interior, well appointed and spotless. The staff are charming and helpful. The food is inventive and delicious with surprising combinations and an eye to detail. Wine is, as everywhere, expensive, but one doesn’t have to drink! Will definitely go back for a classy and interesting meal.

    We had a great time, my partner cannot have alcohol or pork, therefore I requested that all our dishes are alcohol free and without any pork. The staff remembered our requests, and very kindly accommodated our needs! We had plenty of options, and most importantly the staff did not seem bothered or annoyed, we were treated with so much kindness. Absolutely amazing food and amazing service, we will definetly return! 😊

    What an exceptional dining experience! Chef Thomas Lemercier's creations are mind-blowing ✨. Our favorites were the crispy potato terrine, heavenly soft milk bread, mouthwatering Teriyaki Pork Belly, and perfectly seasoned Beef Tartare. The intimate ambiance and attentive service offer a perfect escape from the city. Thank you, Eneko, for the excellent wine recommendation, and Laura for her attentive service. La Bibliothèque is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique culinary experience—hurry before it gets too famous and reservations become impossible!

    This was our second visit to La Bibliotheque, and just like the first time we left content, and completely confused why the restaurant wasn't packed to the gills. Lovely French Bistro dishes, with modern twists (a chocolate cremeaux with miso caramel, a steak tartare with wasabi, etc) great service, lovely vibe, and overall the real deal. Full disclosure, both times we used the forks 50% off voucher, but we've decided that it'll still be on our regular rotation even at full price. It's worth it, it's great.

    Fabulous food. The menu was a perfect juxtaposition of French and Japanese. We had a good run round the wonderful cocktail menu, the wine list and 3 courses of the food menu. The service was attentive both from a food and wine perspective, with everything explained and some opportunity to test the new menu. All in all a wonderful experience.

    Fantastic food, cocktails and service. Beautiful quiet ambience, upmarket yet relaxed. I highly recommend La Bibliotheque for a special occasion. We ended up staying about five hours, trying nearly every cocktail on the menu between us.

    The food was innovative. French - Japanese fusion. Place is cosy with very attentive service. Eneko {?} is a great host and a good sommelier. Everyone else serving was also excellent. The ceviche and tartare are cut in Italian style rather than French but tasted excellent and we liked the salmon a lot; the beef tartare is really quite interesting in a good way. The prawn dish served in an unusual bisque - outstanding! (and not too fishy). Deserts are not bad but try too hard by combining too many flavours. The wine list is good and Eneko will find the right one for you --- whether you want a good wine or a good pairing.

    Delicious food, French with a well executed Asian twist. The bread is to die for, and the desserts were incredible. The service was attentive and kind, but there was an indescribable weirdness to the energy of the place. It felt like they were still working out who did what and when and it created a bit of palpable awkwardness. It’s under a year old, so I totally get that and it didn’t affect our experience in any meaningful way.

    Second time and new menu. Excellent dishes, the milk bread never disappoint, we could travel from the other side of London for it. our faves included the Mackerel and Salmon as starters, the pollock dish as main and the original thyme and fennel panna cotta. Also the chocolate crémeux, miso ice cream and crunchy chocolate

    Amazing dining experience. The staff here were top-tier. So attentive and accommodating with all requests. Food was innovative and tasty. One or two dishes were just bellow excellent but one could still appreciate the concept behind them. However, all others were tremendous. I would especially recommend the Tunworth Ice Cream.

    Really creative, tasty food. Main portions were a little small, but fill up on the delicious and generiously portioned snacks, then you're good to go. The bread was quite wonderful. With the offer, it was really good value, without, maybe a little steep.

    We've been so warmly welcomed by Charlotte. She was happy to recommend the best drinks and dishes matching our dietary requirements. All food and drinks were delish taking different influences from Japan, Mediterranean etc. We loved it. Nice attention to my partner for his birthday. A little small gem in Haggerston, happy we travelled from SW for the occasion. We'll go back to try more of their Sake and Whiskey selection. Food and drinks highlights (if we had to choose): milk bread, bone marrow starter, pig dish, waguy with slices potatoes dish and the sake pairing with the Pea/Stratciatella starter
