Your Reviews of QuecumBar & Brasserie, Le
Chris Koster (1 December 2007)
My partner and I went along to Quecumbar on a weekday night, having heard about it from a Jazz loving work colleague. We arrived about 7.30 so there was no cover charge but didn't know what to expect. We had the best night out in an absolute age. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We loved the thirty’s atmosphere. I am not mad about Jazz but the guy playing swing and blues on the piano just transported us. It felt very elegant and special and we were both surprised at what a difference live music makes especially played by someone with talent. There is not enough of that around London, the next time we go I am going to dress up a bit - just for the fun. We ate there as well and the food was of a good standard, well prepared and tasty. I think it could be an even better experience for a group of friends, although I did meet a couple of very interesting people - the place seemed full of them.
