    Once more, we had an excellent meal at Balthazar’s. We both selected the PRIX FIXE three course menu. My Pea and Mint soup was superb and for main course I choose the Steak Frites cooked to succulent perfection at medium rare. My wife enthused about the very generous Moules Frites and very much liked the Viognier wine to drink with her main course. The service from all staff was very efficient with a nice attention to detail. We would thoroughly recommend your restaurant to any potential diners who are looking for a first class restaurant, with a very pleasant calm ambience, in the very heart of London - for opera lovers it is an ideal choice since it is so near the Royal Opera House. This was our fifth visit and we will definitely go again. Once more, THANK YOU Balthazar's !!
