Beautiful space. Bar area is a knockout. Service was friendly and professional. The flst iron steak with the diane sauce was a five out of five. read more

Even though this is a mainly French style restaurant, I came here on a Sunday morning to eat their Full English breakfast. I arrived at 8 am and I must say the service was fast and efficient, especially considering that by 8.30 the place was completely packed. I did like the atmosphere, it was a good experience. The full English was tasty but a lot! The serving size was too much for me to finish. I'd like to see a smaller portion with maybe a smaller price since I thought it was relatively expensive, even for the area. Will try to go again for lunch or dinner and report back! read more

We luckily got a table without a reservation later in the evening. The place was bustling and a bit loud. It felt very alive. They had a nice number of vegetarian choices for one of our party. The waiter offered me a taste of the wines before choosing. All food was excellent. read more

Walking through Sloan Square and popped in since it seemed fancy. The food here was very mediocre for how it was priced. Though I did enjoy the complimentary bread and butter. I also ordered a veal dish that is not included in the pictures. The staff however, are lovely and helpful. The menu is mostly in French so it took a bit googling to know what to get. read more

Good breakfast! Not perfect service, but it's good enough. I'm always disappointed in service though, I mean they are getting paid!

It was a recommendation from another lawyer. Nice place and good food! I'll visit again. read more

Colbert is a Nice spot for lunch in Sloane Square. Both service and the food were great.

Colbert is a fairly upscale French bistro with classic French interior and a relax unpretentious atmosphere. I been there for weekend lunch and dinner, the staffs are always attentive and warm. On a nice day, I would recommend you to get a table outside. There are many pleasant buildings around the café and the architecture is just lovely. If you are a person who enjoys architecture and interior design, you will enjoy it very much.. During the weekends, there are many beautiful luxury fast cars park in front of the café, and I have seen many fashion lovers who dress up for lunch here. You mostly wont be disappointed coming here on the weekends if you fancy cars or fashion. I came here with friends for causal dinner a few times, you might see many guys with suit coming in for drinks with their colleagues at the bar for a few drinks and a bite. Nice little bar area. Therefore, if you happen to be here during holidays season, you will see the beautiful decorations around the squares and the stores right in front of the café . The bar drinks are extremely well made, so its a good spot for a few drinks as well. They also have a very good wine selection. The menu is quite basic traditional French, I wouldn't say it's excellent if I'm honest. Beef tartar is a dish that we get often there. Overall, the bar drinks are well made there and they also got a good wine selection. However, my friends and I do enjoy the service, the décor, the ambience and the crowd here. We do keep coming in once a while ! read more

Colbert - Grilled Salmon - French Near Me - Chelsea, XGL

Housed in a large, gorgeous corner space with high ceilings large wrap around windows and views looking down the streets around Sloane Square, I thought Colbert was absolutely charming. The interior was classic French bistro and the staff and restaurant were impeccably attired and decorated as such. It was spotlessly clean. Five stars for the staff who were fabulous in both accommodating our walk in party of six despite the restaurant being quite full and for the outstanding service the entire management and service team provided us. The menu, was mainly traditional, but also contained some healthy and innovative menu choices. The lentil and superior salad was quite tasty and the four desserts we shared were all delicious, with the frozen lemon gelato and tarte de titan being the crowd favorites. The sloe gin and tonic during pre dinner cocktails was a favorite with my local gang. Thank you Colbert for a lovely evening with dear old friends. read more

I only sat in the bar and it's a long bar which I like. Ambiance in the bar was very cool, dog friendly bar so there were 4 or 5 dogs in there which I though was pretty cool! Food was good, I had steak frites, escargot and oysters and they were all very good. Service was great but service sitting at the bar is usually pretty good and that's where I generally like to sit! read more

Good price/value relationship. read more

This place is part of the Corbin and King stable that includes The Wolsey, Delauney and Brasserie Zedel. I mention this because I am very neutral on these places- great rooms, but unspectacular food. I have tried to get in a couple of times before, but have been put off by the queue, and once my dining companion was put off by the fact that everyone else appeared to be an average age of 90. Anyway, on this occasion, we arrived on a Thursday evening at 9pm, when the clientele were of a broader age range, and were seated at the bar for a drink for less than 15min before we were called to the table. The place itself is beautiful in a French brasserie Corbin and King way, and could conceivably have been here a lifetime rather than a few short years. Staff are friendly, efficient and fun, joking with us and checking that all was well. Clientele tend to be a little more mature, and of the easily elegant, moneyed Chelsea variety. So on to the food. As I mentioned, I am not a fan of the food at related restaurants, but I was recommended the steak tartare (£20) by the waiter. As this is a favourite of mine, I had to go for it. It arrived with the hugest portion of good chips and a salad. And it was really, really good. 2 mains, 2 glasses of wine, water and coffees came to £90. I will be back. And check out the loos, the attention to detail with the old school French decor continues charmingly here as well. read more

Colbert - French Near Me - Chelsea, XGL

Sloane Square manages to be one of the most outwardly pretty yet utterly vacuous London addresses and at 5 to six on a late week workday night, also seems to be home to more arseholes per square foot than a builders bum convention. Within seconds of leaving the tube I've been buffeted by a spry fool in a pinstripe oblivious to anything but a night on the 'lesh' with the boys ("on my way down the King's Road now squire, you'll spot me, I'm looking seriously sexy tonight") and watched as some infernal permatanned, pashmina clad princesses did her level best to get knocked over by one of the smug Astons prowling the Square by waltzing straight in front of it assuming that it would (like everything else in life) fit around her. After that Colbert was a warm buzzing welcome. While a number of the arseholes had inevitably found their way indoors to loudly complain about the paucity of the residents parking in Ken and Chelski, there was enough space for me to slip unobserved onto a stool at the handsome marble bar. It's a classy old fashioned sort of space that, with its comfortable booths and waistcoated French staff feels like it has been there since way before George Devine reopened the Court next door in 1952. In actual fact, it's been there for less than 2 years, when uber-restaurateurs Jeremy King and Chris Corbin took advantage of a famous tiff between the landlord and previous tenants Oriel in which the latter were booted out following a terrible meal experienced by the Earl of Cadogan and his family. Most people would have just refused to leave a tip. Service is friendly, prompt and efficient (perhaps mindful of the fate of their predecessors) and it'd be hard not to recommend the location at least as a great spot for dinner before a show at nearby Cadogan Hall or the Court. The food was fine brasserie fare, though maybe just without quite the oomph I'd been hoping for. Mini house baguettes were toasty warm spears of delight, built for scooping up thick butter, ideally the garlicky sort I'd been hoping for along with my starter of l'escarcots. The snails were plump, mild and inoffensive little fellows, like schoolboys from a minor public school. Their buttery bed was pleasant enough, though not a patch on the earthily vulgar bunch I got mugged by at Zedels. Admittedly though, these ones didn't make you feel that you'd be growling parsley and garlic at people during interval drinks. A Salad Nicoise was fine, but much less than the sum of its parts. Most of those parts were excellent, with the exception of a lump of slightly dry tuna, but it was difficult to ignore the keen £17.50 price point for a handful of haricots vert and an, admittedly perfectly cooked, egg. The rest of the menu is textbook grand brasserie, with moules, confits and a section for crustacia. Plus plats du jour, all day dejeuner and some rather exciting looking patisserie to finish and you can breakfast all day or lunch from noon until night. If I'm in the area I just well might do either, or both. And it'd be the ideal place for your slightly risqué maiden aunt, just make sure she's paying. read more

Welcoming, charming spot with friendly staff. Went here for lunch and had a generous pot of Moules Frites. Before getting our food, we were served warm bread with one of the better olive oils I've had at a French restaurant. There was a pleasant, vibrant buzz in the restaurant with some people standing at the bar for a glass of champagne, and some parties sitting down for a proper 3 hour luncheon this Saturday day. I was brought here by a friend and his wife, and their 6 year old son. Although we had a little one with us and were casually dressed (with wet hair from the pouring rain outside...), I felt as welcomed as the well-dressed women with impeccable make-up (how did she do that?!) and a Louis Vuittion bag in her hand. The area is good for shopping with two of my favorite stores around the corner: Hugo Boss and Zara. In essence, the high rating is primary given because of the vibe, and the staff. They were extremely professional, quick, and funny. Looking forward to going back soon. read more

The bread sticks are these warmed up little mini baguettes and I really love them. I never book and usually spend a ton of time waiting at the bar which, unlike most pubs, has the ability to serve efficiently despite being extremely busy. Service has always been good, though occasionally slow. Toilets flush as expected. Food is standard anglicised french but good. I almost always get an omelet (they are very good). The best place in Sloane Square area. Long Live Mumia Abu Jamal. read more

Great service, great atmosphere, tasty Bloody Mary.. probably one of the best I've had but the food was meh. I like eating healthy so when I saw the superfood salad I was excited. Unfortunately it lacked taste. If the quinoa was warm and offered a interesting dressing it would have been good I think. read more

My go to when meeting with friends when I want an elegant,but not over the top atmosphere with friendly wait staff.

This is a French restaurant that lacks the flair or passion to set it apart from every other French restaurant in London. The food is solid, however uninspired. For the prices that Colbert charges for its food, I would have expected better than average. However, average is precisely what what you get. Not to say that the food is bad by any means, but it won't compel you to come back anytime soon. read more

I was immediately impressed when I walked through the door, and with all the hype surrounding the opening of Sloane Square's stylish new place, that was unexpected. Instead of attitude I was greeted with warm welcomes. There was of course no room to sit, yet instead of that all too typical "too bad - good luck getting a table in the next year" dismissal, I was instead given at least the illusion that they were trying to help me out and wanted me to come back in the near future. I cannot express how refreshing it was to experience that, and how important it is that there are still places out there making an effort for the clientele. So on that alone I highly recommend checking out the hottest new eatery in Chelsea. After a couple other attempts at getting a table I finally was able to experience a breakfast and then a couple weeks later, a lunch there as well. And I almost hate to say it, but the food was a bit of a let down. It was the weakest link in an otherwise enjoyable experience, and because of that I am giving Cafe Colbert a 3 star review. But the quality of the food is the most important factor of a restaurant no matter how lovely the space or friendly the staff. For the breakfast I ordered scrambled eggs with salmon which I thought would be a treat. I was a presented a very watery and soggy plate of eggs with some messy, coarsely shopped salmon thrown in. It looked unappetizing and while tasted all right it was far from fabulous. Thinking I ordered wrong, and again seeing that my first impression of the place was so positive, I went back again this time for lunch in hopes of it being much better. It didn't have to be a culinary triumph, I was just looking for a good bistro meal. I ordered the cassoulet which was again, just OK. Good, better then breakfast, but still a bit dry and lack luster. And this time the service was slow as well. I am very much hoping the kitchen can turn things around as the location is prime, and the decor offers a little bit of Paris right in the heart of Chelsea. Locals had been waiting a while for a much needed return of a neighbourhood hangout back on Sloane Square. In many ways Cafe Colbert fits the bill. It is convenient, lively, and familiar. But CC needs to improve the kitchen and soon. read more

Eh, boring, old school and average food at above average prices. The steak tartar has zero spices/flavour (even our waitress advised against it). The sunny seats are nice, and the wine menu is decent, but why not go to a real French brasserie, or the Botanist across the street, which is excellent? I just don't get this place. Obviously the location is the best, and the brasserie decor is suitably Parisienne, but for foodies? No way. read more

Colbert's service seems to be getting worse and worse each time I come here. From the rude hostesses at the door right through to the waiter, everyone is full of attitude, snippy comments and just generally not gracious at all. As for the food, it is a typical French bistro with the usual menu, taste and cuisine. You can do better going somewhere else. read more

Location, location, location. The mantra of real estate holds equally true for restaurants which benefit from huge amounts of foot traffic. Even though they deserve to die a sudden death they manage to go on and on and on and on. Colbert, ideally located on the Eastern corner of Sloane Square near the Kings Road, is the perfect example of such a place. A hunting ground for Yummy Mummy's and Sloane Rangers for high street fashion, this area was desperate for something 'different'. I have now been twice and gave it a fair shot. However Colbert is just not good enough. The food is substandard, the service indifferent and the cost not appropriate for the quality provided. So what does £50 buy you at Colbert: 1. Undercooked omelette (no sides, not even a garnish) 2. Eggs Royale for the girl (on a under-toasted, oversized and soggy muffin) 3. Toast (yes: £2.50 for toast) 4. Sparkling water 5. Orange juice 6. Jam (yes, they charge the for jam) 7. Americano coffee (I ordered a filter coffee) 8. Tea The only reason I didn't give one star is because 50% of the wait staff interactions were non-negative: 1. waiter 2. hostess 3. food delivery person 1 4. food delivery person 2 1 & 2 managed to pretend that they cared a little bit. The other basically threw the food onto the table. Sorry to bother you Mr. Colbert. I will make sure to stay out of your way in the future. read more

I took my husband here for brunch for his birthday and as much as brunch is rarely, if ever, amazing we were pretty disappointed. The menu had egg smeared all over it, my Brouilles with Comte was really not nice and his eggs benedict was pretty average. The staff were great and it has a good atmosphere but certainly for brunch it does not justify the expense and waiting list. It is a VAST improvement on Oriels though!!! read more

Highly recommended. Four of us went to Colbert in Sloane Square around 11:00pm on a Saturday night for coffees and desserts, after a comedy show at nearby Cadogan Hall - and we had a very pleasant experience. The excellent service was so friendly and polite that I was taken by surprise! Cappuccinos and cakes were delicious, and very reasonably priced, considering the classy setting. read more

This place was really great! I'd have to say that my favorite part about it was the French theme and all, a country which I'm a huge fan and American fan of including its food. I also really love the steak and the creamy sauce that looked like nacho cheese sauce to me! I really suggest that any of y'all going to London one day go here because it's very great quality! read more

Crowded most of the times but worthwhile. Great location. Service is very good. Onion soup, bread and oils: delicious ...

We are a frequent visitor here while staying in London. The place is very charming, the staff is great, the food is consistently very good. It is a great spot to visit over and over. There is a good variety on the menu, all the food is prepared very simply and very well. The decor and lighting, specially at night, is very relaxed but nice. It is the perfect balance of somewhat upscale combined with relaxed unpretentious but good service. The bar drinks are extremely well made, so its a good spot for a few drinks as well. They also have a very good wine selection. On nicer days you can grab a table outside. Sloane square is very pleasant and the architecture of building is charming. The lighting of the area at night is well done. And if you happen to be here during holidays you can see the decorations around the squares and the stores. And finally the breakfast is also recommended. But be sure to book before you go, it is popular. They do manage you squeeze you when they can, so don't hesitate to ask. read more

Hit and miss. Mussels were great. Best anywhere! Chicken an abysmal failure. Service was first rate, though a bit confusing. Did we actually have ten waiters!

I was visiting London for my FIRST time and my friend from Finland took me here. As soon as I walked in the doors I was enchanted by the dim lighting and authentic French décor. The two of us were seated on the spot, BUT, if you are going with a large party make a RESERVATION in advance (I tried taking a party of 6 here without a reservation and it was NOT happening). Our server was very thoughtful and knowledgeable of the menu. The food we ordered was brought out promptly and was very delicious. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the Chelsea area FOR SURE. I'll be back as soon as I can hop the pond again... read more
