Bellanger offers a delightful French brasserie experience with a charming atmosphere, excellent food, and a beautiful wine selection. While we waited around 15 minutes for our 8pm reservation, the rest of the evening more than made up for it. The Chicken Schnitzel was absolutely delicious, and the Oysters were a real highlight - fresh and perfectly prepared. Once we were seated, the service improved, and I could see why the restaurant was busy. As with all Wolseley Group venues, the quality was exceptional. I’d highly recommend Bellanger and look forward to returning.

The service was terrible. My friends meal arrived 20 minutes after ours and my side arrived after I finished my meal. A terrible experience all round. Must do better if there is ever going to be a next time.

Love this place and will be back again! There was a mixup on our order: where one person was to be ordering no appetizer, so their food was to come out with the appetizers but it did not. Other than that the food and drinks were excellent.

Good space, friendly staff and a great location. I'd say it's slightly pricey so I don't go so often as a consequence.

Not the same experience we had last time a couple of years ago. The “Sommelier” didn’t know their wines that well. The atmosphere was flat and service friendly but inefficient. The food was the best aspect-very tasty and well presented. Wouldn’t rush back.
