You'll find classic French cooking and the ambience of a bustling Parisian bistro at Elena's Etoile. This Charlotte Street restaurant has long been a favourite of film and television people - as the vast array of signed photographs along the walls testifies. Movie deals have been brokered and careers launched during this restaurant's 100 year history. With its rich red velvet banquette seating and starched white table clothes this great institution has a self confident, classic feel. The menu full of traditional French favourites with Italian dishes, some of which have been given a lighter, modern twist.

Some people like sitting opposite faded photos of 70's C class celebrities - not me. My companions enjoyed their meal, my carpaccio was revolting, smudged on the plate so that I could only lift strands off and covered in goats cheese and raw onions so that any subtle taste was bullied off the plate. Seabass(overcooked) was meant to come with tagliatelle but only had about 8 "worms" of pasta on top which was accompanied by a weak and watery tomato sauce. Service efficient but robotic with no warmth and certainly no smiling. Wine takes a big leap pricewise once you leave the house offers. Perhaps I was unlucky as the others enjoyed both their courses.

I can't rate this restaurant highly enough.
The warmth, & sincereity, of one's welcome (whether dining accompanied or alone) is surely unsurpassable; the food, even from the bargain limited set menu, excellent bistro fare, prepared with heart & stunningly presented, the wine list extensive and suitable for all wallets, the decor fascinating.
An inimitable London experience - the perfect way to celebrate the glory of living in such an entertaining city.
