Bienvenue
... It isn’t often that two of the world’s finest winemakers team up to create a wine this affordable, especially when the said winemakers are from two wineries whose creations sell for hundreds, often thousands of pounds, per bottle.
The Provence-based Triennes estate was established by Burgundian legends Jacques Seysses, of Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti; the expertise in this beautifully refreshing wine is clear to see. With lifting acidity and bright red fruit, this may well become your new favourite rosé.
For the whole of August, we will be offering a glass of this wine with a three-course set menu, with five choices per course, for £29.50.
Just last week, New York Times wine critic, Eric Asimov, wrote a review praising this highly quaffable rosé: "Yes, it is true that the Triennes estate in Provence was founded by two of Burgundy’s most venerated names: Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac. But that would not be reason enough to pay attention to this rosé if it were not also delicious. The wine, made mostly of Cinsault, with handfuls of Syrah, Grenache and Merlot, smells of berries and flowers with savoury, saline edges."
Booking for this three-course meal is essential. To reserve your place please call: 020 7584 1118 or contact us via e-mail: L'Etranger.

A review of Letranger restaurat from one of the bloggers: One of my favourite restaurants in #Kensington is @etrangerLondon just off Gloucester Road. It has a superb wine list (years ago the sommelier at the time would take a delight in educating customers he knew and would bring out lots of little samples to test blind to decide if you wanted your choice or his - and he never tried to use that to upsell - just to widen taste and knowledge. I've had that once or twice with o...ther sommeliers since but never as regularly. The black cod miso is to die for but pricey. There is a much more reasonable three course set winter menu with a glass of wine (my red was a very nice Longuedoc) for just £29.50 which is a steal for the quality. Don't miss the crispy caramelized tarte tatin.For more tips check out my curated Kensington, London and New York travel boards on pinterest under discerningfoodandtravel and for in depth posts my blog is www.discerningfoodandtravel.com #letrangerrestaurant #letrangerpianolounge #letrangerlondon #wineselection #winetastingdinner

"Come quickly ! I'm tasting stars!" - Dom Pierre Perignon, French Benedictine Monk, (1638 - 1715) when he first tasted his newly created champagne. COME QUICKLY AND TASTE STARS... Dom Perignon Wine Tasting Dinner is coming soon... #winetastingdinner #letrangerpianolounge

You could argue it's four stars, but you always tend to find a smile and a humerous comment from at least one of the staff-members to cheer you up. So the delicious food and nice wines deserve the mark of excellence! Innovative and classicit makes you feel at home at l'Etranger - even as a "stranger"

Wonderful food and very welcoming staff

Très bon repas, super ambiance! Bravo! Great food! Amazing menu thanks to the chef. And a great atmosphere!

Thank you for an amazing night! Excellent venue & great service for our staff party from start to finish. We will come back for sure.

Service was immaculate, very nice clean contemporary restaurant. Food was fantastic I'll definitely visit again.

Ruined my holiday , wouldn't go back . Gives French style and taste a bad name

Impeccable wine list, excellent service and beef cooked to perfection... infallible!

Great place to dine and chill . Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Food here is truly exceptional. The wine tasting dinners are also a must!

Fabulous restaurant. Food is excellent, the staff are friendly and Very atmospheric

Fab food, amazing cocktails and live music 🎶❤️

An excellent meal, with great service! The sommelier was extremely helpful, even though we weren't spending an extortionate amount on wine! Would definitely go back for a special occasion!

Eclectic tasty menu & Great service. Quite Underrated i think

A lovely quality/price for the lunch menu 25£ (3 courses) the food was wonderful and the wine list is really really big and amazing ! thanks a lot, i'm sure to come back a next time !

Rubbish!! Special family meal was ruined by terrible atmosphere, loud rowdy group of diners, average food for exorbitant price - I always find that a restaurant's toilets are a good bench mark, these were filthy dirty, smelly & unkept.

will have to boycott till they stop selling foie gras. what a shame.

Ugh? Fois Gras! Such a cruel product! Having read your menu no way will I eat here!

Totally agree, foie gras should so be of the menu, do you really know what you are eating. Maybe research it guys before you buy. Educate yourself as its never to late to learn.

Staff rude when I told them food was cold.
