[[bob]] first visited on a Friday lunchtime in June 2008 (note: as of May 2011, they no longer open for lunch on weekdays). I 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 <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/sets/72157606108187999/ photoset]</small>. |

[[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 £15 for two courses or £17 for three, drinks not included) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3862571736/ photo of menu]</small>. |
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 is £3.20. |

[[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.
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 is £3.20.
