Old Compton Brasserie

The manager Kasia and the team of waitress were absolutely fantastic, provided a great service and the food was nice. They took care of our friend with a gluten free allergy too! The music was fun and we enjoyed our evening here. Drinks were served quickly and were delightful.

I had a stupendous experience at Old Compton Brasserie. Despite arriving just in time for the last calI, I didn't feel rushed to order. I need to shoutout Kate, who provided excellent service. She went into meticulous detail about what was gluten free on the menu (the majority, including a separate fryer!), and ensured my entire meal was safe. She was overall patient, kind, and very helpful. As for the food - where do I even begin? I got the fish and chips, miso cabbage, and Steak Frites. All were wonderful. As someone with gluten intolerance, I felt truly spoiled by the abundance of choice of things in which I actually wanted to indulge. The fried fish was - no joke - one of the best I've had in the UK, no competition. The batter was crispy, the fish was flaky, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The accompanying tartar sauce was exquisite, and I also enjoyed the mint mushy peas and curry. The chips weren't traditional 'chips' (thick and fluffy), and were instead 'fries' (thin and crispy), but they still tasted good. The Steak Frites was yummy. I had it done medium rare, and the chef did exactly that. The béarnaise sauce suited it perfectly. It came with the same chips as the fish and chips. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The miso cabbage was great. I could've eaten ten more portions of it easily. The atmosphere is upscale brasserie. There is ample seating, and I appreciate the the music isn't too loud. In general, this is definitely a place to check out.
