[[Kake]] and [[bob]] visited again on a Wednesday lunchtime in August 2009; there were plenty of free tables on this visit, too. We again went for the set lunch (now &pound;15 for two courses or &pound;17 for three, drinks not included) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3862571736/ photo of menu]</small>.

[[Kake]] started with the potted mackerel <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3861932889/ photo]</small>. The mackerel was good; nice and rich and well-seasoned. The accompanying pickled baby beetroot was quite mild, contrasting with the much sharper pickled baby carrots. [[bob]] went for the charentais melon with roquefort and endives <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3861881713/ photo]</small>.

For mains, [[Kake]] had the steak tartare <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3864974904/ photo]</small>. It was fine. The accompanying frites were good and hot and crispy, but sadly oversalted. [[bob]] had the duck confit with roasted flat peach <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3862299977/ photo]</small>.

[[Kake]]'s verdict: Not sure. The obvious comparison in the area is [[La Trompette, W4 2EU|La Trompette]], which I think has the edge in terms of finesse, but is also more expensive. I think I'd prioritise a revisit to La Trompette over a revisit to Le Vacherin.

Accessibility: A small step up to get in, and a larger step up into the single (small) cubicle of the ladies'.

French restaurant in Chiswick. (It has a younger sister restaurant in South Croydon, Le Cassoulet.)

On a Friday lunchtime in June 2008, Bob had no problem getting a table. The only other customers were a group of about 10.

The food was very good. I had the 'Taste of Summer' lunch deal for £16.50, which was three courses and a glass of wine. A bottle of still water was £3.20.
