"Café Luc can sit happily alongside Tintin, Johnny Halliday, statues of micturating babies and waffles on the list of Belgium’s cultural accomplishments. In fact it beats those easily (apart from Tintin, but that might just be me)." READ REVIEW

"The service was very good, the wine list not bad (with plenty by the glass), the range of starters, salads, pastas and mains a pretty gentle canter through the post-Wolseley all-day eating standards we’ve come to know and, well, expect..." READ REVIEW

"An otherwise adequate meal was soured by the desserts. When we bit into innocent-looking grapes in a bowl of 'crème caramel with marinated raisins', we nearly spat them out - they had been so heavily soaked in alcohol they were unpalatable." READ REVIEW

The 3 stars I have given going to the decoration. The food was not edible, even the side orders we ordered were simply bad. Our waiter was rude and inefficient and the only dish that anyone of us actually liked was the steak tartar.

Although on the top of Marylebone High St. which is a little quieter at night Cafe Luc seems to be the new Hot Spot for Maryleboners. We thought the food was delicious, the ambience as it should be and the staff very friendly.
Already looking forward for the brunch!
