You know sometimes you forget just how fantastically striking a skyline London has. And it’s not until you are standing on a wonderful terrace looking out that you are fondly reminded of this fact. Overlooking the now infamous square mile, on the roof of 1 Poultry, Le Coq d’Argent has a simply stunning roof garden.
On arrival you are transported to the roof by private lift, and straight away you know that you are in for a celebration of French chic and a fine feast. The ambiance is charming and the views stunning, really the view is fabulous. Being situated in the city of London, it’s no surprise to find a heady mix of lawyers, judges and business men alike. But don’t be put off by that Le Coq d’Argent is well suited and in a prime location to attract this type of patron. And anyway it didn’t detract one iota from a charming and pleasant atmosphere.
Being a French restaurant, you come to expect certain things, like as I said sophisticated and fashionable chic surroundings. A great atmosphere and fabulous food, all of which we got. But oh, how we had to wait - tad slow service and rude waiters! . Not so good if you are looking for a quick business lunch, but fortunately for me being as I was accompanied by a handsome debonair companion, the wait for the food was easily tempered by this.
All in all, Le Coq d’Argent, is a wonderful restaurant which can boast a fabulous terrace providing simply stunning views of the city. There’s a great atmosphere, good food and with perhaps just a nod to Gaelic nonchalance when it comes to the service. Le Coq d’Argent is well worth a visit, if nothing else for the views alone.
Thanks for a fab time J x
