Lutyens
French
85 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1AE
Latest critic review: January 29, 2010
Terence Conran's latest venture...
More French perfection from the Peter Prescott and Terence Conran partnership. There's a charcuterie counter, sushi bar, members club and private rooms. Head chef David Burke comes via Bibendum and Pont de la Tour. Oh, and Samuel Pepys was born here.
Critic Reviews
Zoe Williams
Telegraph Reviewed on January 29, 2010 "So I end as I began, feeling about Lutyens the way my mythical 1940s heroine feels about her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend: it’s fun, but it’s not fun enough." READ REVIEW
Matthew Norman
Guardian Reviewed on November 14, 2009 "Lutyens is the second grand bistro – on the bustling Parisian model and concentrating on gutsy, classic dishes – he has opened in London this year, and it is superb." READ REVIEW
Andy Lynes
Metro Reviewed on September 02, 2009 "Lutyens probably won't change your life – the Conran formula has become too familiar for that – but it might just make your day." READ REVIEW
Joe Joseph
Independent Reviewed on August 22, 2009 "...yup, Conran has created another classic French menu bang in the heart of London." READ REVIEW
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh
London Lite Reviewed on August 20, 2009 "Roast rabbit ... looked like it had leapt straight out the Eighties with its old-fashioned garnish, but you couldn’t fault the flavour, while skate with shrimps... was a no-frills classic." READ REVIEW
John Walsh
Independent Reviewed on August 08, 2009 "There are many things to love about Lutyens, but the food isn't one of them, not yet anyway." READ REVIEW
Lisa Markwell
Independent Reviewed on July 26, 2009 "The crubeens... promise much, but are the dud in this otherwise delicious meal." READ REVIEW
Zoe Strimpel
City AM Reviewed on July 22, 2009 "Whether you go for the high (lobster mousse) or the low (fish and chips), your dish will be served beautifully and – where possible – with fanfare that recalls the food’s fresh origins." READ REVIEW
AA Gill
Sunday Times Reviewed on July 19, 2009 "The menu is good, if a little conservative, but it’s probably right for the clientele." READ REVIEW
"Richard & Peter"
Harden's Reviewed on July 09, 2009 "...this is a dining room where bistro/brasserie classics are done well, if not remarkably, in surroundings which are arguably just a bit too grand for the menu." READ REVIEW
Guy Dimond
Time Out Reviewed by July 08, 2009 "The best formulas you don’t need to tamper with – something Terence Conran understands very well." READ REVIEW
Feargus O'Sullivan
thelondonpaper Reviewed on July 08, 2009 "It’s breezy and charming – but it’s a pity the food isn’t either more generous or, well, cheaper." READ REVIEW
Fay Maschler
Evening Standard Reviewed on July 02, 2009 "The execution of the food we ordered was competent but prosaic. It lacked élan, joie de vivre and other similarly useful French words and phrases." READ REVIEW
Dos Hermanos
Dos Hermanos Reviewed on June 30, 2009 "...an instantly recognisable Conran opening, great room, great service, top ingredients, adequate if hit and miss execution and a bill at the end that gives you a bit of a shiver." READ REVIEW
