Le Querce - London

For us Le Querce plays an important role in local life. It’s a slice of Sardinia on our doorstep. Le Querce daily with its deli/cafe is always full of very pleasant surprises so we’ve been a bit sad that it’s only open 3 days now. Last Sunday we went to the restaurant part, sat outside in the sun and had a really special 3 course meal and well worth the £39.50 a head.… It was a great menu …the food was beautifully cooked and presented. All in all a lovely food experience.

I was really looking forward to going back to Le Querce after a long gap. Sadly it was a disappointing experience. The evening menu now requires you to have at least two courses, costing £29.80, plus an extra £4.80 for side dishes. Two of us were almost 30 minutes late joining our group due to traffic problems but has to wait another 30 minutes before the orders were taken, with no offer of drinks or nibbles while we waited. The food was still good but our main was 6 not very big pieces of pasta stuffed with potato and cheese in a tomato sauce, which I felt was stingy for the price. One of our group only wanted a main course but we were charged £6.50 for the bread, cheese and olives she shared with another person on top of the set £29.80 for her 6 pieces of pasta. Another chose ice cream for her dessert, which is priced at £3 a scoop meaning her medium sized bowl of pasta with ragu was £26.80. I understand that costs have gone up since Covid but the combination of poor service, high cost and lack of generosity in portion size means that’s the last meal I’m likely to have at Le Querce. It may be because it’s winter but the range of ice cream flavours was far less interesting now as well. I wish I’d not gone back and only had the good memories!

Our party of nine had a great night out yesterday! Between us we ordered across the specials, pasta, pizza, fish and meat and we were delighted with our choices. We were very happy with the red and white wines we ordered, the food arrived beautifully presented and did not disappoint. Think we all managed to squeeze in a little dessert, everyone happy Thanks for super friendly service and delicious food, looking forward to coming back soon.

Overpriced, awful atmosphere, average food, not allowed to choose one course only. You are obligated to have 2 or 3 courses. Opted for 2 courses £28.50 ,chose bowl of pasta and tart tartin. Puddings individually priced at £6.50 meaning the pasta cost £22.50!!! Pasta was tasty. Tart tartin came by itself semi heated (hot and cold and without cream or ice cream . You had to pay an extra £2.50 to have ice cream , which would mean Paying £9 for a small slice of semi heated tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Main course of chicken, dry and tasteless, tiny amount of sauce on a bed of peas with a smear of puréed squash. To have a side of potatoes/ chips cost an extra £4.50 meaning that this tasteless dish cost £27 !! Chips tasted like they’d been cooked in stale oil! The restaurant smelled of off fish!! Will NEVER eat there again.

The sea bass was horribly overcooked and fishy tasting. The prawns with it were like rubber. Guys, don’t even think about wasting your money at this place. You’ll be as sorry as we were.
