A location that is lacking in good eating places and works well and an excellent evening. The souffle was one of the items that out of this world. Will be back again

John 14 October 2011 From London

A unique venture from Michelin-starred Michel Roux, Roux at Parliament Square serves innovative modern cuisine. Housed within a striking historic building, the understated luxury of the dining room is offset by a fashionable bar.

Blending contemporary cooking techniques and indulgent flourishes, the Roux at Parliament Square menu offsets intense flavours with beautifully elegant presentation. Delectable options include delicate Cornish crab ravioli with Champagne veloute, or a pigeon and foie gras ‘kiev’ with Madeira sauce. Classic desserts at Roux Westminster incorporate an experimental twist, like chocolate mousse with peanut parfait, coriander and lime.

For a more informal ambience, the bar area at Roux Parliament Square restaurant offers a quaint, library-style setting with a fashionable edge. This bright, airy space offers premium wines and beers selected by Albert and Michel Roux, alongside a tempting selection of light bites.

Surrounded by iconic landmarks, Roux at Parliament Square London offers a cosmopolitan hideaway. The iconic Westminster Abbey is only 4 minutes’ walk away.

        Good but not great.

              We dined at lunchtime on a Friday. The restaurant was full but it didn't feel busy, and the atmosphere was very calm. The only other Roux restaurant I have been to is Gavroche and so my expectations were sky high. Unfortunately this didn't live up to them - but in fairness to the restaurant it is not trying to be a copy of Gavroche.

              The food is good in the main, and the service is 70% there.

                          Booked a 630pm dinner for myself and three friends. Had a three course meal for [$]which was amazing value. Superb food, none of us could fault it. I took a chance by having a dessert of pear souffle with gingerbread ice cream, I'm glad I did as it was out of this world. Our only issue was that the cheese trolley had been parked next to us and it was a bit whiffy! But once i asked the waitress to move it there was no issue. Would highly recommend roux at parliament.

                                The London Restaurant Festival special 3 course lunch at [$] per head (excluding drinks) was good value and the food quality excellent, though portions were on the small side. The wine list, though good, was expensive boosting up the total price. Aperitifs were slow in arriving as was wine service during the meal.

                                                        Dinner on a Tuesday evening was faultless in every way - as good a meal as I have ever had.

                                                              Would have been excellent, however let down by a terrible waiter who was rather 'rough round the edges' - certainly not what you would expect from a restaurant of its stature. I was left waiting repeatadly with no wine left, looking around for ages until it had happened so many times I had to go to get the wine myself. We felt like we received a 2nd class service as we were dining out on the [$]for 3 courses offer. We also were made to order our deserts at the same time as the starter and main, something which I did not appreciate. The food was very good, although the main selection was limited to chicken, cod or risotto). Luckily, the head waiter noticed the shoddy service, (mainly as I pointed it out to him!) and we were given desert wines on the house as a way of apology. Overall a great restaurant with good food, let down by unattentive staff (with some exceptions). We had a good time, but would not be in a hurry to go back.
