About L'Artiste Muscle

Close to Green Park station and Hyde Park, L'Artiste Muscle is a French restaurant at 1 Shepherd Market in Mayfair, London. This is a tiny bistro with only about 6 tables on the ground floor, and a lower floor adds more seating. The menu follows a French bistro line. A warm goat cheese salad works as a starter, and the moules frites come with bread for dipping the sauce. Beef bourguignon is served with mash potato for a main course. The restaurant is open daily. A wine list sits alongside the French menu.

Customer Review Summary

Mussels draw the most mentions, served as moules frites or in a sauce, alongside the warm goat cheese salad and the crème brûlée, which one self-described picky fan calls terrific. French onion soup, escargots, chocolate mousse, a cheese plate and a duck confit special also earn praise, and the wine list is called good. Reviewers describe a quiet, relaxed bistro with a Parisian feel, only a few tables on the ground floor, and friendly, efficient service. The mains draw mixed reactions. The beef bourguignon is called perfectly seasoned by one diner, while another found the beef dry and overcooked, though the mash and sauce were good. A separate reviewer found the steak cooked well but chewy and told the management, and another felt the food reached for fanciness without executing it well. One table kept asking for more bread, round after round, to finish the mussel sauce.

    “Wow. Very impressed with this place. Fairly non-descriptive and unassuming exterior, not super large inside either, but very good food all around. A true French cuisine experience in the heart of London. Nestled away in a small non-descript area right near Hyde Park. The warm goat cheese salad was fantastic, perfectly seasoned just warm enough, and delicious all around. The chicken, the beef bourguignon , all of the mains we’re just spot on. And to top it off, the crème brûlée was just perfect. I’m a big fan of crème brûlée, but also pretty picky, this was just terrific. The cheese plate finished off as a great compliment. A nice wine list, super helpful and friendly staff. Would certainly recommend anybody in the area, or if you could find this little nook buried in between the tangle of downtown London”

    “I really like the relaxed bistro vibe of this place, and the service is efficient and unobtrusive. The main thing that let it down was the food. I felt that it was an attempt at fancy food (in an attempt to justify the high price that wasn't well executed). I would rather have something simple and delicious.”
  • Zeina Masannat
    “Walked in and were welcomed and offered a table for a party of 4 - ground floor has only 6 tables with more on the lower floor. Goat cheese salad was delicious so were the mussels. Asked for multiple rounds of bread as the mussels sauce was too good not to dip the bread in it. Gigi our waiter was super nice and knowledgeable. For dessert the creme brûlée was out of this world! Highly recommended”

    “Their desserts are a must try!!! We loved everything except the steak. It was cooked great but the quality of the meat is not great bec it's very chewy! We told the mgmt so I hope they check it soon! But everything else was really good!”
