Bagatelle London

5/5 for the atmosphere. The rest is amicable and that’s being polite ! Food is poor, service even worse complete with hefty price tags ££££.

We ordered the small caviar which was £390. Roast Chicken £115. Octopus £60-80. and some other small bits including Burrata etc.

The chicken arrived more so like a Poussin, a tiny bird, and the waiter dropped half of it on the floor when cutting it at table side! We hadn’t realised it had been dropped at first, we had to ask three times why one of the breasts was put to the side on the back of the tray, the waiter was keen to try to dismiss it and walk away - leaving us with half a tiny bird and some bones for £115. Shocking.

We did eventually send it back, and the manager offered a bottle of wine as an alternative to the chicken dish, but there was no form of apology, and considering we’d ordered sides to go with it, including potatoes and vegetables etc. They went uneaten so not ideal.

Overall, very very expensive night out for basic food and poor service - but the vibes are 10/10 and music was spot on. Always a great night at Bagatelle, this being my second/third time.

But the waiting staff need to up their game to warrant the prices! Food needs major improvement also. Staff on the door are very rude and the front of house also.

Shame.

Hands down one of my favourite restaurants in london!! The food is simply just amazing worth every single penny. The staff were so nice and helpful

We wanted to share a genuinely positive experience we had at Bagatelle Mayfair thanks to the incredible female security, Nelly.

One of our friends became unwell during the evening, and from that moment on, Nelly handled the situation with exceptional professionalism, care, and compassion. She spoke to our friend calmly and kindly, reassured her, and made sure she was properly looked after at all times.

As our friend was no longer allowed back inside due to having had too much alcohol, Nelly stayed with her upstairs outside, ensuring she was safe and comfortable. She provided her with a bottle of water to help her sober up while we arranged a taxi home, constantly checking in and offering reassurance. Her caring nature truly went above and beyond what we expected.

When the taxi arrived, Nelly made sure our friend was seated comfortably, spoke directly to the driver, reassured them that our friend was okay, and ensured she left safely. Every member of staff we encountered was kind and comforting, but Nelly truly stood out — she went out of her way to make a difficult moment feel calm, safe, and handled with dignity.

Overall, the experience was really lovely despite the circumstances. Nelly was not only professional but also sweet, reassuring, and even managed to bring warmth and lightness to the situation. Having a strong, caring female security presence at such a popular Mayfair venue made us feel extremely safe and comfortable as women.

We are genuinely very grateful to Nelly and commend Bagatelle for having such an outstanding member of their security team

I went to Bagatelle London for my friend’s birthday, and it was honestly such an amazing experience. I’ve been to Bagatelle Miami before and loved it, but this location somehow topped it — I think I actually loved it even more.
The atmosphere is upscale and electric — from the moment we walked in, the energy was high, the music was bumping, and the space was filled with beautiful people, dressed to impress. It’s definitely high-end, but in the most fun and fabulous way.
The drinks were phenomenal, and the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. They made sure everyone at our table got a drink and a shot, and they even helped pass around the food so that everyone got to try something. That kind of attention to detail made the night feel extra special.
If you’re looking for luxury party vibes, great cocktails, and a glamorous crowd, Bagatelle London absolutely delivers. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just a wild, bougie night out.
Can’t wait to go back!

Worst value for money night out I’ve ever had.

A group of us attended the Midnight Mass on a Sunday, and the experience was genuinely shocking from start to finish. The food alone was an embarrassment: we were served roughly four thin slices of very average steak per person, not even a full steak each. Starters were just as bad: four small plates shared between eight people.

The seating made things worse. We were crammed onto a small round table, so tight that the waiting staff couldn’t even reach us. We had to pass plates and cutlery ourselves, which is unacceptable given the price point.

The music during the “meal” was good, but after the meal was equally disappointing. It jumped randomly between genres and felt more like a cheap wedding DJ than anything resembling a curated “party” atmosphere.

I’m not shy about spending money on a good experience, but what we received for what we paid was outrageous. Bang average food, poor portions, chaotic music, and cramped seating.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely woke up the next morning still annoyed and felt obliged to write this. The organisation seriously needs to reassess how group bookings are handled and rethink the overall structure, because in its current form, the experience is appalling.
