Chef Jono at V&V in Leeds

A very intimate setting , with very attentive staff. My husband, my son and I had the tasting menu. All the dishes were totally amazing, they were all out of this world . Definitely worth a visit for a special experience.

One of the best restaurants in UK. A tasting menu like no other. Highly recommended.

Incredible food, fantastic service and perfect wine pairings. A superb meal and great value

Odd one for me this. I want to preface with...my god, this man can cook. Chef Jono's food is incredible. Beautiful flavours, expertly seasoned, and served exquisitely. My issues here are the pacing and the dish choices, meaning that I currently would NOT recommend the signature tasting menu, and would instead recommend the lunch tasting menu or Sunday roast. In terms of dish choice, it was a lot of dense and rich food. The mackerel course was the only one that felt light, and there were no one-biters. Again want to state that the food quality is exceptional. The (excellent) malt loaf should have been a third of the size, and the (incredible) Not French Onion Soup almost finished us off, and that was halfway through. Adding to this, the pacing of the courses was too fast. I've never been to a full tasting menu that was done in two hours. We were almost done after one. Thankfully, service staff noticed and asked if we needed a break after the main courses. We did. We were uncomfortable. Finally, I think the decor needs a little work. We were sat with a light overhead that felt like we were in an interrogation. So bright. Really distracting, although excellent for food photos. We'd ask for a different table next time. So yeah. Can't speak highly enough of the food or the staff, but the tasting menu needs some more thought.

We had dinner here this evening and it was really bad. It’s not that the dishes were well considered but badly executed. They were just a bad idea from start to finish, with far too much cream so that everyone left feeling quite sick. The mushroom tiramisu was truly disgusting.

The most amazing Sunday lunch, our first time here and we will definitely be returning to try the other tasting menus. The restaurant had a great atmosphere. The staff were informative without being stuffy and friendly without being over the top. The food was out of this world! We can definitely see why this is the “survivor” of the fine dining restaurants in Leeds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first food tasting experience at V&V for our wedding anniversary. We were looked after so well from the moment we arrived, with such attentive customer service. Every course was delicious and presented so perfectly, it was just the perfect amount with the beef and cauliflower cheese course being our favourite. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again and recommend V&V to our friends and family. Thank you so much, Sian x

From the moment we arrived , the staff were absolutely immaculate, not over the top, just very welcoming, kind and, clearly passionate about the restaurant. After following Chef Jono on masterchef, who in my mind, was the most innovative and creative in that particular season, I was keen to see for myself. By the time we got to course 3 of the signature menu, I cried. It was that good, and I’ve eaten at most Michelin restaurants in the area and further afield. I have never before cried tears of joy from tasting food until last night. A huge 5 stars from me to the entire team. Thank you so much!

We had Sunday lunch here last week. Absolutely brilliant. The ramen broth was a stand out course. Everything was super delicious!

Amazing polite, friendly and staff very knowledgeable. Food out of this works quality and large portions.

This place is absolutely amazing, a sensory delight. The food was superb - so many wonderful flavours and textures that I kept saying ‘wow!’ We were so well looked after by the staff as well, we will definitely be going back.

We booked in for the Sunday Lunch Taster menu. What an incredible experience. The venue is small and intimate feeling, but not so crowded that you feel cramped. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. You can look into the kitchen and see the chefs at work. Once shown to our table, we were offered the menu and the drinks list. I was unable to try the drinks pairing with the meal as I was driving. There was a wide range of drinks available, including several alcohol free choices. The food was simply delicious. From the snacks through the courses to the desserts. Each dish a piece of art, both visually and culinary. I couldn't choose a favorite as they were all so good. In terms of portion size, perfection. Any larger and I wouldn't have managed them all and I'm a big hungry guy!!! All in all, and amazing meal in an incredible intimate venue. Thank you Chef Jono and all the team.

Oh my goodness!! We visited today - Sunday 11th August. Our first time here and it definitely won't be our last . The restaurant is accessed by a rather steep staircase but you already get the vibe that this is a special place as soon as you open the door. The decor is quite dark and subtly dramatic and is complemented by stylish table settings. We were greeted by chef Jono as soon as we arrived from his open kitchen (really interesting to have a snapshot of this efficient, well-organised and well-staffed working kitchen). Our servers were very attentive (Lily in particular was a standout star). They were lovely, professional and had a really friendly and fun manner when explaining the components of each dish from our Sunday lunch tasting menu. Now for the food..... It was totally awesome with some really inspired combinations of ingredients. I won't go into lots of detail because you really need to go and taste it for yourself. If you consider the number of staff involved, the fresh ingredients and the number of different and sometimes unusual ingredients that feature in this menu, then it really is not expensive at all. I expected very small portions but I can honestly say the plates/dishes were filling and collectively left us both more than satisfied. It was an amazing experience. Thank you all at Chef Jono at V and V. Liz and Brian Hill

My partner and I had the signature menu with drinks pairing. The staff were excellent and friendly. Some of the courses were excellent such as the ox tongue, however others weren’t well executed. The masala fish was far too strong and acidic, and texturally didn’t work as well as other dishes. The drinks pairing on the whole was fine, but the amount of variation between different wines, cocktails, sake, and port proved to be too much for both of us and didn’t sit well with the food meaning I was unfortunately sick. The whole experience was very rushed despite the restaurant not being very busy, with one course and drinks following immediately after the last, to the point that we had to ask for 10 minutes breather between service. This definitely impacted on the overall enjoyment. The restaurant its self, the music, and overall ambience was very nice. All in all when compared with similar restaurants we’ve visited in Yorkshire for tasting menus, it did not come close in quality and execution unfortunately.

Very nice place, run with love and care for the customers. Logical prices and super tasty and well cooked food. Totally recommend it!

I tried the tasting menu with a drink. The food taste ok. However, the drinks with the food didn’t go very well with my stomach. Plus, the different textures of each course made me throw up at the end of the day. The staffs are amicable and great, but I am sorry the food and drinks need to be reviewed again

Came last night. Absolutely amazing. The food is outstanding, the flavour combinations and presentation are to die for, especially the Not French Onion Soup.. could not pick my favourite dish. The staff were knowledgeable and Friendly and the service was spot on. Just enough time between dishes. Loved the whole experience and will definitely be back.

Excellent, had the Sunday June tasting menu on Father’s Day and had a wonderful meal. Will defo return

We thought we were having a good time until the very end after we paid the bill we’re told apparently too loud and rude to people - strange no one said anything through the 3 hours we were there or before paying… took a lot of the shine off it - nice idea but bad execution for the price. Would have thought it was odd other than the guy that doesn’t drink that was with us also thought it was pretty weird and unjustified.

Loved everything about V and V - food stunning - staff lovely - music sooooo good. I personally love that the food is accessible for all and is not pretentious at all - I loved the fact that the environment felt a real blend of the highest quality food with an atmosphere that is humble . Loved seeing Chef Jono who was lovely to talk to - couldn’t recommend V and V enough !

Had an amazing Experience last night. The June 7 course was lovely. I loved the service and the fact this place isn’t pretentious. Even down to the playlist. It was perfect for me and my friends. More food than I was expecting but it was perfect. Thank you Chef Jono and your team. We will be back soon.

- in general, the food was good, however, our main course, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, was very chewy so we could not eat it - the mushroom risotto was excellent 👌🏼 - very standard choices of ingredients, very safe and classy combinations. Nothing super exciting or new but overall was good. The major concern, however, is the atmosphere in the restaurant: 1. 80s music does not suit the fine dining restaurant - sorry! Neither rock nor exciting/ happy vibes. It does distract from enjoying and tasting food (more than opened curtains🥲). Some soft jazz, sunset lounge, and chill lounge would be much better. 2. The waiters presented dishes just reading off the menu - I can read, would be nice to know a bit more about a dish. Where the ingredients came from etc. 3. It was dark during our lunch meal. Fine idea to close the curtains but think about the music, which goes in the loop of 1h45mins Comparing to other, this restaurant is lucky to have a Michelin star

Ate here last night and had a wonderful meal, the food was lovely, the staff very attentive and an all round great experience. Would have given it a full 5 stars had Chef Jono been in residence, surely the whole point of the experience is to be fed by the master himself.

We had a lovely meal, would highly recommend xx

Had the Signature menu with the wine pairing and everything was perfect. The staff were excellent and put us at ease the moment we walked in. It's fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere and make sure you are hungry if trying the 8 courses as we are stuffed. Thank you Jono for a great birthday.

Top quality dining experience, the tasting menu has a great variety to it and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special evening out. The restaurant has a personal feel to it and all staff work hard to provide a great experience.

A wonderful dining experience which was provided with great food, an interesting wine float and excellent service. With any premium dining the price is somewhat irrelevant, the food was well thought through and we found that the drinks package matched the flavours well. The service was great and the staff knew the flavours and could articulate and comment on their views of why the pairing complemented each dish.

My word of the evening has been ‘ridiculous’ how can the flavours Chef Jono put together have the effect they do. For anyone wanting an experience of fine dining, then look no further. With a team who enthuse about the dishes whilst Chef Jono prepares the food in full view- it’s an experience not to miss

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch tasting menu. Each unique course was packed with flavour and the presentstion of each dish was fantastic. My fiance had the vegetarian menu. He said each course was some of the best vegetarian food he has tried. The service was prompt and attentive. The paired drinks were perfect too. We recommend Chef Jono at V&V to anyone who enjoys great food. I was so busy enjoying the food, I forgot to take photos!

Very unique experience. Wanted something more special for our anniversary and we received exactly that. Chef Jono and his team have been so coordinated from the beginning to the end. The food is delicious and complex, and the whole 10 course meal goes so well. Very well thought out for the palate.

Fantastic food, as a vegetarian plenty of thought gone into the menu. Relaxed friendly atmosphere and excellent service

Amazing food, superb service, great cocktails and drinks pairings. Couldn’t have had a better birthday meal out!

Some dishes on the tasting menu were lovely, but so many heavy dairy dishes left me unable to finish or really enjoy the last few courses. I'd expect a much more comprehensive drinks offering from a restaurant offering fine dining. Service was efficient but felt forced and didn't have the charm I'd have expected. Think I maybe caught them on an off night, and I would try them again, maybe for a Sunday lunch.

Amazing taster menu and fabulous service!! Need to go back for their Sunday roast taster menu at some point 😍

Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. From the wine pairings to the creative dishes and house cocktails - all perfect! Thank you!

Awesome experience, music creates a great atmosphere. The service is spot on even though it is minimal. Calm and casual experience, would certainly recommend. Thank you Jono 😁

We had a fantastic time, the food was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We had the 5 course taster meal as I only work for a company and don't actually own it !! The staff were VERY efficient, pleasant, polite and professional. How chef Jono got so much flavour from each dish was quite frankly astonishing. We visited for a special occasion as it was my daughters birthday. I cannot wait for the next special occasion 😍

Amazing service! Delicious food! Yummy desert today! 😋

Was lucky enough to get a last minute booking last night. Having been fortunate enough to eat in some michelin starred restaurants, this place was even better. Every course was fantastic. Even got to speak to the chef afterwards (I'm a confirmed chef groupie 🤣🤣). If you're in Leeds, get it booked.

First time here and we couldn’t get over how fantastic it was. Food was absolutely amazing - it’s all about flavour and texture. Four of us all had different favourite dishes, and there was nothing we didn’t like. The service is extremely efficient but the staff are friendly, and take time to talk to guests. Chef Jono acknowledges people from the kitchen as you arrive. Overall, wonderful restaurant - we will be back!

100% go here instead of Six by Nico - You will not regret it! On a Sunday you can get a 5 course meal (plus complimentary snacks) for just £49, with an optional wine pairing flight for £35. The food is just fantastic! Delicious & interesting, and whereas at some fine dining restaurants you will leave feeling hungry, that would never be the case at V&V! The portions are very generous! Amazing value for money! Go check it out! Support this small, independent business run by an incredible Chef (he’s done Leeds proud on masterchef the professionals too!)

Wonderful food! The staff and Chef Jono are lovely! Thank you for a lovely valentine meal!

I recently visited V&V Leeds and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The food at this restaurant is truly amazing. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Not only was the food exceptional, but the staff at V&V Leeds were also amazing. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks pairing. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also impressive. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. The attention to detail in the decor and the overall layout of the restaurant added to the overall dining experience. I highly recommend V&V Leeds to anyone who is looking for a memorable dining experience. The food is outstanding, the staff is exceptional, and the overall atmosphere is top-notch. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, V&V Leeds is the perfect choice.

Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Vegetarians are exceptionally well catered for, and every course was stunning. The french onion and parmesan foam course was just amazing for the depth of flavour and texture. With prior agreement we made a couple of substitutions, and really appreciated the changes. Loved the cocktails.

Great tasty food Fabulous service. Always a good place to eat bro class

Me and my partner decided to choose here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. From the moment we entered we felt welcomed and appreciated. Ordered the Sunday Lunch Tasting Menu and each dish just complimented each other. Thank you Chef Jono and the whole team for a great experience and we hope to see you again in the future to try another one of your signature menus, p.s thank you so much for the signed menu, we both loved the added touch 😊

3 good courses out of 7. 4 average. Some of which very average. English wine was lovely and service good. Its alright on half price january deal but at full price would be laughable. Far too warm in the restaurant. Decent enough but wouldnt rush back. Music a bit cheesy for my personal taste but i am hard to please 😂 One word review / TLDR: unrefined

Visited for the first time on 12th Jan 2024. Had a fantastic meal with great atmosphere, service and attention to detail. The food was very impressive and we will definitely be booking again in the near future. Thank you Chef Jono for my signed menu for my birthday.

I have visited ALL the fine dinning restaurants in Leeds and I must say that in terms of price paired with taste, nothing comes close to chef Jono. I am like regular there now :)

I had the tasting menu and wine pairing. The service and wine could not have been better. The food was disappointing sadly. The courses came out quickly, were very large and rich for a tasting menu. Sad to say we wouldn’t return

It's good but left me feeling like I wanted slightly more and slightly less, cheese board was overly huge, roast beef yorkshire pudding macaroni cheese, was great if I'd been in my local pub but wasn't what I expected here. Yet the risotto was brilliant. The service was friendly and helpful but disappointed by the music which was too loud for us as they where trying to fill the whole restaurant from one speaker and we where close too it, I suggest more speakers lower volume on each. Lighting, it took us a while to realise that we where occasionally pitched into darkness and then brightly illuminated again, it was all to do with the hot lamps for the kitchen going on and off very off putting. Overall, I've been before and will probably go again but on this occasion was slightly disappointed.

The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes they serve. Service is spot on and the food is absolutely delicious

I decided to visit Chef Jono at Vice & Virtue, very impromptu, at the beginning of December. My experience was impeccable. To start, the team Jono has are absolutely excellent. The team serving consisted of Abbie, Ben, Sean, Max, and Yasmine - I purposely asked for all their names to mention them, because they truly defined my experience and made my evening. Abbie and Ben helped me understand the links between what I was eating and what I was drinking. The food spoke for itself; delicate yet bold, profoundly subtle and overall, pleasurable to eat. I could write a whole article about my evening at Vice and Virtue, however I’m still here and feel I’m not taking in the experience to the full. If there’s one thing you should do in 2024; visit Chef Jono and his team.

Everything we expected, food and service was excellent, the depth of the tasting menu was really good, with a few risky dishes on there and a few old favourites. Located in a great area of Leeds so you can really make a night of it. Would definitely go back again, just need to tone down some of the lighting which takes away some of the ambience. A dimmer switch would suffice, otherwise a great night. Thank you.

Wow, great dining experience, if you like tasting menus this is a must in Leeds. Super inventive lots of great flavours and textures. Had the 5 course with wine pairing was not disappointed

We came to Chef Jono for my boyfriend’s birthday and had the tasting menus: regular for me and pescatarian for him. All of the dishes were an explosion of flavours and creativity. The staff were very attentive (a signed menu for my boyfriend as a birthday gift, a wave goodbye from chef Jono himself when we left) and considering the number and the quality of dishes you get the price wasn’t over the top. We had a great time and a fantastic culinary experience. Thank you.

The food was splendid. We had the vegan tasting menu, and it was incredible.

Thankyou to all for a beautiful evening. The exquisite and fabulous food and service was second to none. Kindest regards Chris and sabrena

Just spot on. No disappointments there. Food brilliantly thought through and beautifully crafted/presented. Interesting, unusual sometimes but it all worked well both individually as courses and as a whole. Watch out behind that curtain.

Overall Jono at V&V was a worthwhile experience. Some really good food and friendly service. Not particularly expensive and certainly not a place I regret spending an evening. The Good Bits Overall the food was really interesting. We had the 5 course menu. The chicken liver cereal was an interesting deconstructed ‘pate on toast’. The roast onion and Parmesan was tasty with great texture, like a chunky French onion soup, but not a soup!The haddock was good too as was the chocolate dessert (not a fan of eating ants though!!) Staff were really friendly and attentive, without being overly intrusive. The Bits that could be better The ‘sweet and sour’ chicken wasn’t great. Let down I think by bad chicken. Stringy, tough and not in the same league as the rest of the meal. Only part of the food experience that was below par. Was surprised it left the kitchen like that. Asked about dessert wine as there isn’t one on the wine list (there is a perfectly good Muscat in the wine flight). Was pointed to the digestif section which had no wines at all on it. Odd that a server would think a desert wine is the same as a Baileys, port, brandy or a Kahlua -but they did serve us a glass of the muscat. Lastly, the lighting is a touch on the bright side. I’d be tempted to get some decent white table cloths and tone the lighting down a notch. But maybe I’m just being overly picky!

Excellent very friendly good service most of all brillient food will go again 👍

We’re always very conscious of booking fine dining restaurants due to my gluten intolerance so always check ahead of time as we understand adapting a set tasting menu can be difficult however - V&V is marketed as gluten intolerant friendly, and I’d suggest this is not quite the case if you’re expecting a GF menu of the same standard as the original. We were served the second course first without communication that we weren’t going to be getting the first(?!) the bread course was quite clearly shop bought Genius (or similar) bread which is the spongiest and blandest on the market. Dishes skipped the sauce due to the ingredients having gluten in, which made them also bland. Most courses lacked the element of having ingredients you wouldn’t expect to go together, work and therefore wow you which you’d expect for an almost Michelin star priced menu. The good parts!! We had a dish swapped out due to the restrictions and were given a Thai-style peanut/coriander/courgette/lychee plate which had the experimental/imaginative Michelin quality described above - please put this on the regular menu! The final dessert was prepared/developed by one of the other chefs and it was absolutely beautiful - crumbed carrot cake and chocolate mousse (this was the winner). The service was great, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Tableware and crockery for each dish were at the standard you’d expect for fine dining and a lovely touch. I personally loved the atmosphere, the playlist was fun and created a great vibe. Overall as someone with dietary restrictions I won’t be returning, however my experience is not the norm, so I wouldn’t take this as gospel if you are not the same.

Don't think for a minute this is a taster menu where you'll leave hungry, or that it's quantity over quality. Every course is superb, staff just the right level of attentiveness and the wine delicious. Accommodates around 30 covers which is just right for a great atmosphere and music was spot-on, chosen by chef Jono apparently. Loved it, can't think of anywhere if recommend more.

The food was incredible, the service was excellent (especially Franklin) and the atmosphere was lovely. We also really enjoyed having a quick chat with chef Jono, who was lovely. We highly recommend this place!

Отличное место. Стильная атмосфера. Вежливый и внимательный персонал. Тестовое меню на обед. 5 блюд. Потрясающе приготовлены. Оригинальные ингредиенты. Не могли оторваться.

Had the signature menu with drinks pairings. I especially loved the ox tongue, and the mushroom tiramisu. My only complaint would be there wasn't much gap between courses, would have liked a bit longer to let each course settle

Third visit and this place just gets better and better. Have eaten at many Michelin star restaurants and Jono beats them all hands down. Drinks pairings are not stingy unlike other places, you get a decent serving. Service impeccable too.

Great Sunday lunch today with wine pairing. Food was delicious, wine was excellent and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it.

Sunday lunch here as a birthday treat for my daughter was a treat for all of us. The food is delicious and we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes too - this is not fancy nouvelle cuisine with tiny bits of food - its superbly cooked plates of tasty grub guaranteed to make you leave happy and well-fed. Super service too - the only thing I would change is turn down the music a touch but overall this is a great venue and we will return soon as we can.

Would highly reminded V&V! As a person with dairy/gluten intolerance, V&V was able to cater my dietary requirements without any problems. I chose the Vegan taster menu (due to my dietary needs) and my husband chose the standard menu with wine paring. Being not the biggest alcohol drinker, sharing the wine paring with my husband was perfect. I was able to sample each wine but not feel too tipsy! Also, As a meat eater, I would definitely say that I didn’t feel I was missing out for choosing the vegan menu. There was only the pea and lamb dish I would have enjoyed more from the standard menu, however my husband said he would have preferred the courgette/lychee/peanut dish from my menu, so there was dishes from both menus that we both preferred. The dishes that stood out on the vegan menu was the not so onion soup and courgette/lychee/peanut. My husband said the Jamie dodger, lamb and pea were his favourite. Staff were knowledgeable, attentive and really helpful. The restaurant was relaxed, great play list and nice to see the open kitchen and chefs cooking including chef Jono. Overall a great meal and would visit again for sure!

We visited for the first time this evening. Bullet point review to summarise - exceptional hospitality - great staff - lovely decor - the nicest white wine I’d been served in a while - now down to the food… very aesthetically pleasing and even better in terms of the flavour

Luckily brought here for a birthday treat. Had a lovely meal, some interesting dishes, favourite probably the Not Onion Soup, a comforting as well as interesting dish. Waiting staff were friendly, gave good service and could not help enough to make a special night more so, would recommend

Had an amazing evening at V and V last night. We were the first ones through the door and the staff were attentive from beginning to end. I am a real foodie and it did not disappoint. Exceptional! We will be back for the Sunday lunch menu next. Well done Jono. You have a great team !

Truly wonderful experience today for Sunday lunch. The food was exquisite from the tasting menu and the wine pairing was spot on. A relaxed atmosphere with professional and personal service. Would highly recommend.

A truly Tragic affair. Food created from ego rather than passion. When will they stop desperately hanging onto the idea that Chef Jono had his 15 minutes of fame on Masterchef and actually focus on creating a meaningful, thought out menu where you are not stuffed by the 3rd course. After Jono signed a menu and sent it to our table I couldn't help but picture him in the walk in, rubbing himself off over the unlikely idea that we would cherish this 'relic' for years to come. An absolute car crash of a meal, be sure to go to 'Home' instead if tasting menus are your thing.

If you're wanting a casual introduction into fine dining I'd defiantly recommend chef jono. The food was exceptional and the service was out of this world (would give 6 stars if I could) the male bartender could answer all the questions we wanted and was so full of knowledge. Didn't manage to get any pictures of the food because we was having such a lovely time celebrating our 5 year anniversary. The chef even went out of his way to sign us a menu. Would definitely put chef jono in the top 5 fine dining restaurant I've been too. We also booked to go back in a couple of months it was that good!

We had Sunday lunch here today and it was great. The food was really good, and it was fun to bring the fine dining/tasting menu concept to a Sunday roast. We particularly enjoyed the vinegar butter and the lamb/pea/mint course. Good selection of cocktails on the menu. The service was brilliant: a really friendly and attentive team added to the experience. Very much deserving of a Michelin Guide recommendation, so it's a shame it didn't make it this year. One suggestion: too many potatoes were served with the beef: as part of such a large meal, I think a couple of less potatoes per bowl would be absolutely fine (you could always offer extra if required). Good playlist too!

Dined here last night for my birthday, what an amazing place!! . I’ve been a big fan of Chef Jono since watching him on Masterchef the Professionals but this is the first chance I’ve had to visit his restaurant and I was not disappointed. The food was out of this world and the service was excellent. We opted for the vegetarian tasting menu and I can’t rave about it enough! We will definitely be back! Thank you

Highly recommend to try before chef Jono will get his first Michelin star and prices will double 😊 Flavours are extraordinary!

We had a wonderful experience, would 100% recommend this restaurant

The taster menu was a great mix of different tastes and flavours. Staff were excellent and the setting is lovely tables not to close together so not too noisy. We were here for our sons 21st and couldn't have been a better choice. The joy of a taster menu, aside from variety is that you have a full 3 hour evening of chat, food and drink. What could be better.

Great food and experience. Food was quite rich and it would have been great with a few lighter palate cleansers in between, but overall worth the money.

We had a fab meal at @ chef Jono. The service was fantastic without being over bearing. Nice atmosphere, not over pretentious and music playing which was a welcomed treat. So that set the night up nicely. As for the food. Well. The boy can cook of that there is no doubt. Every course was mouth watering. For once I can say that I left a tasting menu meal surprisingly full as well. We had the vegetarian tasting menu. The main of salt baked celeriac was delicious. I believe that the rest of the menu followed the meat version. However can’t be sure? I can’t comment on the drinks served as I don’t drink. I would say there looked to be a lot of happy faces around the place. That can’t be a bad sign. I will definitely be back to see what comes next.

Absolutely brilliant night on Valentines at V&V. Everything was excellent, the service, food, atmosphere and all. The Valentines menu was superb. I especially enjoyed the beef, lamb and scallop courses. Familiar but elevated. Loved it

My partner and I came here for a special treat and it was absolutely incredible. The vegan taster menu was amazing and it was great to see such thought put into a varied menu and we didn’t feel hard done by for having the vegan options. The food, service and wine was excellent and we cannot recommend this place enough :)

The experience wasn't what we were hoping for. The staff were friendly but weren't attentive or indeed knowledgeable about the menu. The menu (tasting menu) wasn't balanced, as a whole it was far too rich. The French Onion Risotto and the Pineapple wood ants desert were both very good. The ambiance was lacking due to the decor and loud music rather than background music.

Had a fabulous Sunday taster menu last week, it really didn't disappoint. Chef Jono's attention to detail is plain to see and Aldo and his front of house team make sure your visit is memorable.

Great night, not a massive place which was nice so felt more personal and not loud, you could see chef Jono cooking, food was amazing and we did pairing wines that were perfect with great explanations of how the wine should taste with the food. It was a friends birthday and Jono was kind to let us have photos with him.

third time here and will 100% not be the last. class act as always. food in unreal and staff are very friendly. see you again soon!

Amazing place. We have just left our third visit and could not fault the place. It’s intimate, the food is absolutely unreal. Every visit, we have tried various dishes that we would not normally and completely changed our minds. Chef Jono & his team are very pleasant and service is fab too! So much we are coming back with the family for my partners birthday later this month!

Lovely evening, went for the 9.30 sitting, table was ready when we arrived, complimentary birthday drinks on arrival was a nice touch. All the food was excellent, well explained by our servers and any questions we had were answered easily. Tried wood ants for the first time, surprisingly delicious. Such a well thought out menu. If I had to make one reccomendation, it's a bit rich and creamy so there are 3 creamy dishes in a row which gets a bit sickly, so could maybe do with switching it around to break up the creamyness. Raman Broth was absolutely amazing !

Had lunch there in a Sunday. Quiet and lovely. Love the food and the service was good. Read somewhere chef Jono saying you don’t leave his restaurant hungry and it’s so true! 😂 Note: I found the restaurant with a cheap feeling. The cheap velvet green chairs, the fake plants in the bathroom covered in dust wasn’t what you expect based in the way they sell their food. Easy to fix though!

Absolutely incredible experience, thank you so much to Chef Jono and his team for a wonderful afternoon. We enjoyed the Sunday lunch tasting menu as a birthday treat and what a treat it was! I opted for the drinks pairing too which really did complement each dish perfectly. Wonderful service, beautiful attention to detail and even the background music was fantastic. All in all I highly recommend a visit to Chef Jono at V&V.

Disappointing tasting menu. The dishes were not balanced and the whole experience was simply forgettable. The first starter was outstandingly. A tomato salad which kept surprising the us with every spoonful. However, this was followed by 3 almost identical fish dishes with quite similar extremely rich white sauces. The pork cheek with the praline was a very nice surprise, but we've struggled to enjoy it properly at that point. The deserts were fine, but nothing remarkable... Just some ants sprinkled on top of one of them. I hope the menu is seasonal and we just got a not so great configuration of it as everything was prepared perfectly.

Awesome! Service is excellent, the food is amazing. Compact and bijou restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.

Simply divine. Every dish well executed. Would gladly go back! Thanks Chef Jono & team

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and decided to go for a taster menu, absolutely fantastic food, fantastic staff, the whole experience was amazing, and a big high five to the chef's, because that was incredible food ♥️, would recommend to everyone, to go and experience fine dinning 😊

Visited last night to treat Mum for her 60th Birthday and it was fantastic. The food was superb and service excellent. Mum was given a signed menu which was a lovely touch and even the freshly made lemonade was a hit!!!! No fiddly portions here, by the end I was stuffed! The Octopus was my favourite dish but the dessert (I really dislike tarragon) had me digging to the bottom for more, and it was huge!!! Thank you Chef Jono and the team at V&V, we had a wonderful meal and I would highly recommend

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch tasting menu. Mackrell with rhubarb was a winning combination and the ramen was divine. Service was delightful. Will definitely be visiting again!

My partner and I had a veggie menu and a non- veggie menu with wine and cocktail pairings. Both menus were delicious! An excellent balance of inventiveness and twists on some more classic flavour combos. The pairings were brilliant! They really added a new layer to the food. I also greatly recommend here if you are veggie! I shopped around a lot for a good veggie tasting menu beforehand and this was the best and most interesting by far!
