Tatler 2007 Restaurant Guide
'La vie rustique comes to Mayfair. This delightful resto/traiteur feels like a farmhouse kitchen only much brighter, with light streaming in and white-topped wooden tables and chairs. Le Truc Vert is a great place for tea if you're 'doing' Oxford Street. Home-made scones with jam and cream - yummy.'
The Times Top 10 deli-restaurants
'An honest, humble operation offering a welcome cahnge to the Mayfair scene, Truc Vert is a deli and restaurant rolled into one. Try the delicious smoked haddock fishcakes with marinated fennel and red onion, or roast lamb neck with spiced aubergine, feta and mint yoghurt.'
Harden's
'For "simple and effective" food, this "wonderful French deli-café" in Mayfair has many fans -- it makes "a great place for a bite after braving the Selfridges hordes"'
Metro Life
Le Truc Vert owns a suitably pelagic look courtesy of the attractive fixtures and fittings which seem to have been fashioned from driftwood. The Green Thing is an oasis in the West End for food shopping and eating.
London Restaurant Guide
Truc Vert is Mayfairs local traiteur, an open all day - home to spontaneous food, with a daily changing menu. Customers can shop for fresh food, wine, take-out specials and pastries, or opt to eat in. All food is produced on the premises from the finest ingredients.
Square Meal
The rustic French surrounds with chunky wooden tables & lots of delicious foodstuffs on display make this Mayfair restaurant 'look very inviting from the outside'. The daily-changing menu has a firmly Gallic slant with the likes of quiches & pâté & an enticing selection of freshly baked cakes & pastries. All-day opening is a bonus & the place never struggles to pull in punters.
Evening Standard
The place is a minor work of art. Take the drinks. As well as the usual Gallic intoxicants, there are some interesting additions such as Pineau by the glass. Everything has been carefully thought through.
Local Secrets
On our arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff. The house red was smooth and the house white was clean and fresh, and by the time we finished with a shared dark chocolate brownie it was clear that we could have chosen anything on the menu and received the same level of excellence.
