Welcome to Otto’s French Restaurant, London, the world’s only restaurant to have both a duck and a lobster press; the essential solid-silver contraptions from which the most extravagant dishes ever created are made; ‘La Grande Bouffe’.
Step back into the old-world glamour of sumptuous, traditional French cuisine with tableside service at the heart of what we do.
We serve impeccable, classic French cuisine which has been hailed by critics as the best one can find in London.
Not only do we serve the pressed duck and lobster tableside, but at our restaurant, you can also enjoy a traditional poularde de Bresse ‘Demi-Deuil’ with truffles and morels
We do do not turn tables; you have your seat for the entirety of lunch or dinner service.
Everything at Otto’s is made from scratch - and all dishes are created to order.
We invite you to experience the magic of Otto’s for yourself.

It is always a pleasure to eat at Otto's. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We enjoy the 'theatre' of presentation and service in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. This remains one of our favourite restaurants.
