Our Guestbook
“ We had a delicious meal. There's a very nice ambiance in this place, it is chic but not snobby. The bar illuminates over a restaurant of parquet flooring, and a black vinyl ceiling. The sirloin steak was really good. Our waitress Erisa was very friendly and attentive. Laurent served as a really nice backdrop to catch up with an old friend and eat some good food. I'd definitely come here again. If I could pick any area for improvement, the soundtrack was a kind of soothing elevator music cover playlist - no one should ever have to hear a singer-songwriter-lady cover Nirvana's "Smell's Like Teen Spirit" at 1/8x speed in a sultry tone (and then continue to cover Bob Marley and Eurythmics with the same thing). ”

“ My friend and I went to Barbounia to celebrate her birthday! It was such an amazing experience! The staff was very, very accommodating and lovely, and they offered us complementary champagne, port wine and dessert. The food was also incredibly tasty and overall the experience was great! I would definitely recommend going here and we will surely be back! ”
“ Amazing place, although a little out of my price range! (20 starters, 40 mains). However the staff were genuinely kind and friendly. ”
“ Everything I ate was absolutely delicious - from the breadsticks, the tuna tartare, the seared scallops to the burger and chips. Staff are very friendly and attentive. ”
“ One of the most impressive restaurants that I've been to lately. I can't find fault with anything I was served. Service and ambiance were also superb! ”
“ Interesting concept - mix of steak and sushi, amazing venue with beautiful rooms overlooking Regent Street. Service was top notch, as was the food. Highly recommended for a date night, does not feel like a hotel restaurant whatsoever. ”
“ Nicely decorated, on the first floor at Hotel Cafe Royal. Good food, impeccable service and a good wine list, reasonably priced for a restaurant like this. We liked the sushi and the Dover sole. ”
