Fodor's Review:

When Sir Terence Conran opened this impressive 300-seat restaurant, he promised to reinvent the Parisian brasserie, and he's come close. Alcazar's mezzanine bar is famed for its DJ, and with its slick decor and skylight roof, it feels more like London than the Rive Gauche. The kitchen may have started out rather uncertain of what it wanted to accomplish, but the food is now resolutely French with the occasional Mediterranean touch, plus the house classic fish-and-chips. Prices are reasonable: a three-course lunch menu is EUR 30 including a glass of wine and coffee; a dinner menu is EUR 42. The chef seems to have found his groove with dishes such as salmon-and-ginger tataki and veal braised with morels. Lest you forget this is Conran land, there are also very good fish-and-chips and Irish coffee. For dessert, it's hard to pass up the profiteroles, mille-feuille, and baba au rhum. Sunday brunch is popular, and the restaurant has introduced "lyric nights" on Monday with a set menu.
