Truc Vert Overview
Truc Vert is only 2 minutes from the craziness of Oxford Street yet it feels like it’s a million miles away.
Offering a taste of rustic France it’s an oasis in the heart of the city. With simple decor- lots of wood, caramel coloured walls and wine racks full of many a tempting tipple. It’s homely and unpretentious and the food is damn good to boot.
Executive chef and owner, Russell Cameron, clearly takes pride in choosing fine ingredients for the provincial French and Mediterranean menu. It’s full of tantalizing fresh meats, fish and vegetables and is changed daily.
My goats cheese ravioli with chive, parmesan and cream sauce tastes wonderfully home made. It is set off perfectly with a simple green salad and delightful chunky chips that are crispy and well seasoned.
My companion has scotch rib-eye steak with roquette mash potato, Portobello mushroom and pink peppercorn jus. He declares the mashed potato to be one of the best he has ever had- creamy with a hint of roquette which ideally complements the succulent, peppery steak.
Desert raises the bar even higher. You cannot visit this place without sampling the wonders of the strawberry crème brulee. The crispy top, fresh summer strawberries and vanilla cream work together in harmony, it’s the crème brulee to rival all crème brulees. The warm soft chocolate pudding with berry coulis is worth the ten minute wait. Chocolate gushes out when it is cut open and it is swimming in luscious, ripe berries- yum!
Whether you’re after an alfresco coffee, daytime snack or three-course dinner you can’t go far wrong with TrucVert and its delicious, fresh food served in rustic yet chic surroundings.

As a 'traîteur' - local deli, café and restaurant expertly combined, Truc Vert has many facets. Truc Vert is open throughout the day offering breakfast, morning coffee, and of course lunch in a French café style setting through the new afternoon menu to dinner when the ambience is softened with dimmed lighting, clothed tables, candles and fresh flowers to provide the perfect setting for either business dining, a relaxed meal with friends or an intimate dinner for two.
