4.5/10Disappointing service. Took ages from when we sat down to when waitress came to take the order. It happened the same after we asked for the bill and had to go downstairs to ask for it because we had to go. We had the duck and the meat was lovely but the Dauphinoise potatoes were very hard and tasteless. The chocolate fondant was nice but not different to the ones you can buy in any supermarket. I assume they are restricted on decor due to conservations laws, but it looked unkept and tired. Furniture was tired and some lighting didn’t work. It has such a great potential! Seems a waste. Bathrooms could be made more luxurious maybe adding better products and the odd plant or flower. It felt like I was actually using the bathrooms of the old Victorian orphanage that it was.

3/10Food was too salty, one 1.5 server for the whole night (Saturday), tried to catch the attention of the server quite a few times but unsuccessful. Server not knowledgeable on ingredients or prices

7.5/10Wonderful setting, so was a real shame how quiet it was. (Only 3 tables full) Service great and wine was well priced. Starters were great (duck rillettes & burrata) Mains weren’t good: -Steak was full of sinew and tough. Paying £28 for it was very disappointing. -seabass was fine, but wasn’t as good as you’d expect it to be. I hope it was an off night, as would like to come back due to nice service, and the lovely setting.

5.5/10Food quality below average at those prices.
Le Gothique • Owner
Thank you for your cusomer review. We believe the pricing for all our dishes is on the lower side of averages in our sector in our area. Your score of 5 sits within a large body of scores of 10 and 9 scores making you personally look completely at odds with ALL other reviews. This is a family business, not a chain, and we rely heavily on our scores and reviews.

10/10We had a lovely supper here, sitting outside in the courtyard on a very balmy evening. I have lived in the area for 20+ years and had no idea this firmer Victorian asylum was here but it’s a spectacular backdrop to an al fresco event The supper was great - relaxed pace, chilled atmosphere, tasty plates The one thing I would change is the smoking - because this is a courtyard garden cigarette smoke lingers which isn’t great for the non-smokers eating

10/10The perfect definition of a hidden gem. After finding the entrance through a courtyard of an amazing character building, we were surprised by this unique venue. We sat outside under cover and had the option of a heater when it got a little cooler. The food was exceptional and the three courses were all brilliant. Really amazing experience.

8/10Nice food, great service. Much smaller that I was expecting when I look at the building. Very small footprint. and minded me of a small pub, rather than a fancy restaurant.

10/10We need to come back during daylight hours to see more of the architecture and story about the building. Lovely food and surprisingly quiet for an evening.

10/10Loved every second. The staff was attentive, polite, good humoured and knew the dishes. The food was incredible. The setting is entirely unique and it's one of my favourite quirky spots in London. Thank you for having us!

9.5/10Waiter very pleasant and helpful. Both lamb and duck very tender and flavoursome, vegetable sides perfectly cooked. Beautiful surroundings. Very quiet at midweek lunchtime. Nevertheless a very enjoyable meal. Extremely good value booked on Fork app.

9/10Good place. Hidden from general public in a historic building. Only 2 tables Saturday lunch time thus a bit lack of vibe, but real treasure for those who hate Chelsea style brunch madness. Good attentive service. White table cloths french setup. Delicious onion soup, We have ordered duck and sirloin. Duck is highly recommended.

Le Gothique on Wandsworth Common was London’s first genuine gastropub when it opened in 1987. The restaurant , bar and gardens are located within the glorious Royal Victoria Patriotic Building. The turrets, spires and towers of this spectacular landmark building is South London’s most historic building. Whether you are looking for a romantic table for two, planning a birthday celebration, a memorable and affordable location for your wedding or just fancy a pint….. this is THE place to seek out and find. The much over used term “Hidden Gem” really is appropriate. The “secret garden” situated internally within the building is most certainly London’s best al freco dining experience.
