Galvin Bistrot de Luxe

Galvin Bistrot de Luxe Review

The accomplished Chris and Jeff Galvin brothers blaze a trail for the French bistrot de luxe approach on a fast-moving stretch of Baker St. Seasoned fans and a more discerning crowd go for the impeccable food and service in a handsome slate-floor, bentwood chair, and mahogany-paneled Parisian-style salon. There's no finer Dorset crab lasagna in town, and mains consistently punch above their weight: Cornish brill, calves liver with Alsace bacon, stuffed pig's trotter, and sumptious daube of venison with quince and chestnuts are all devilishly tasty, each one a superbly executed gastro triumph. The £19.50 3-course set lunches or £21.50 early evening dinners (6-7 pm) are top value, and look out for occasional live Sunday afternoon jazz.
