This is probably the best restaurant in the Trafalgar Square area. It's always my go-to lunch spot whenever I visit the National Gallery. You can either stuff yourself silly on cheese and charcuterie - something I have done on many an occasion. Or you can enjoy a variety of small plates. Or you can go for a full-on three course meal. The food is modern, French-inspired and always delicious. Their wine list is vast, with a focus on France and Italy. However, you can also select a number of wines by the glass.
Terroirs is an easy place to enjoy a quick bite or to while away a number of hours in good conversation over great food and wine. My only gripe is that they seem to have increased their prices of late, but overall I can really recommend this restaurant to locals and tourists alike.
I love this place - one of my favourite places in London. Been going there for years and its a lot harder to get into but its still lovely. The wine is great and the food never short of great. Charcuterie board is a must.Great date place too.

Ben Adamo & Darren Smith from Wine and Vinyl have teamed up with Terroirs wine bar & restaurant in Charing Cross to put on "Wine and Music" evenings on the first Wednesday of every month in the cosy cellar space (£3 entry).
(N.B. The next #WineWednesday will be in September)
To kick off the series, on the hottest day of the year, Ben & Darren put together a set list drawing from the sound tracks of cult movies such as Pulp Fiction and Full Metal Jacket, whilst classic wine moments from film history were projected on to the walls.
A condensed version of Terroirs’ 200 bin wine list has been carefully compiled for the event, showcasing five whites and five reds by the bottle as well as ten wines by the glass and a couple of bottles of sparkling. It's a quirky list with a real range of styles on offer - Amphibolite Nature, Jo Landon was ideal for the 36° heat, as was the Magnum of Casa Coste Piane Prosecco, whilst the Pinot Blanc, Gerrard Shueller is a must for sour beer fans.
Head Chef, Dale Osbourne, has put together a seasonally-focused tapas menu, comprising a selection of Terroirs’ signature dishes. I was really impressed with all of our plates, but particularly the Jamón de Bellota, Salt Croquetas & Aioli, Snails on Toast with Garlic, Parsley & Bacon and the unusual Black Pudding & Beets.
It's a great date spot, especially on Wine & Music Wednesdays - check @Terroirs on Twitter for #WineWednesdays updates.
A real treat. An excellent Jurançon accompanying delicious potted shrimps and fresh Dorset crab. The simple gem salad was a real treat. We'll be back b
Very nice. Seated downstairs (less noisy) tortilla alioli to start bavette main. Very good. Room temperature not as warm as I would like. Service very good.
Nice and 'slow'. They really espouse the slow food ethos in the kitchen and cellar of this centrally located gem. Well worth tracking down as it's a great place to enjoy a glass of wine and a couple of light plates after work. See the full review at www.grumblinggourmet.com
Great place for good wine. 3 of us had two bottles of fab wine, bolstered by some bar snacks, bread, cheese and a boudin noir. Okay, you probably wouldn't come here mainly for food - but it is pretty good. Sophisticated and stylish, nice staff who know their stuff, all of which is just right for when you fancy that kind of evening. My only gripe is the 2 hour table limit - common enough I know but definitely not sophisticated or stylish, more plain greedy as I far as I am concerned.
Great new downstairs. Hadn't been here for a while so tried the new downstairs area. Really nice space with a high ceiling and a few extra things on the menu. Food and wine were great - the Roast Landaise Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic is good and stretches to more than two people. We shared that between four, added a couple of small plates, and had a great time. Waiting staff can be hectic and need some energy to get their attention at times. Once you have them they really know their stuff about the menu.
More Terroirs please. This is exactly the sort of restaurant that any large city should have lots of: the sort of place you can have a big meal, a small meal, or a glass of wine and some nibbles. Tasty, well-prepared food, extensive wine list and good service.

Archetypal French wine bar. Bloomin' love this place though, my, it's difficult to get in. The wine list is great, informative, reasonably priced. We had a glass of the week's guest white, a highly fragrant Italian, and then a couple of glasses of a velvety and robust Languedoc, served just right ie not too warm.
Duck scratchings - had read so many reviews which mentioned them and was slightly obsessing. Did they deliver? Well, taste-wise, yes - gorgeously meaty, fatty and salty and very moreish. But they were tiny little pellets. Obviously a duck only has so much skin, so you can't get pork-sized ones...but I did wonder whether we'd been served the crumbs from the bottom of the bowl.
Duck rillettes (can you tell I like duck?) which were smooth and moist and a very generous portion. Though could maybe have done with a bit of a kick - pepper? paprike? brandy?
Ventreche which were paper thin circular slices from a sausage of lovely, fatty meat. Again, huge portion.
Smoked eel with celeriac remoulade, lovely, maybe the remoulade was a little TOO mustardy.
And the surprise hit - caponata with goat curd. Melty aubergine with tomatoes, raisins and nuts, with a beautifully mild cheese and slices of sweet, garlicky toast.
I could have stayed all night and eaten the whole menu. So I will be back. Next time, want to try the vegetables with anchoiade (the next table had them, beautiful looking baby carrots and radishes), the jambon, the pate, the snails, the clams in vermouth...
Love it.
went for a rare lunch in what has been a difficult year. We were concerned at how safe it might be but it could not have been better, we were treated like royalty and the food & wines were delicious. Thanks to the staff for making us feel both safe and welcome. We will be returning soon.
Very good wine with many options. The staff will be glad to guide you if you need any help to pick one. The place itself is nice. I ordered many starters to try different things and it wasn't bad... the place was full so I imagine meals are good. Book in advance.
Terroirs never fails to deliver. I've been here couple of times, and it has become my safe place since. Great wine selection, staff is always here for a good advice and a great service with good manners. They also serve tasteful food, even if I was expecting more in the plate as a French.
Great little place. Huge choice of wines - staff are highly knowledgeable and really ensure you find the right one. We also had a small cheese platter which was tasty.
Nice steak and burrata. Tried 4 types of red wines and they’re all very good. I really love the vibe here. Will come back for sure.
Small but perfectly formed menu comprising small plates and more substantial dishes. Relaxed, yet attentive and efficient, friendly service. Huge wine list with something for everyone.
Just the best flavours in London, the best vibe, and the best service - eel is their speciality (trust me, honest) and so is any chocolate dessert
