What People Say

Reviews from TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise Amelie for its welcoming staff, beautifully presented dishes, and relaxed ambiance. Diners often mention the flavourful French onion soup, fresh seafood options, and the delightful wine list.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests leave happy, a few note that the menu leans light—so if you’re after a big pre-show feast, you might want to order a couple of courses. The outdoor seating is charming, but limited, so it’s best to book ahead if that’s a must for you. Also, while prices are fair for Belgravia, they may be a bit higher than more casual spots.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a stylish, convenient, and delicious French bistro experience before the music starts, Amelie is a top pick in the heart of London’s live entertainment scene.
