Cheneston's at the Milestone Hotel in Kensington and Chelsea

If I could give the Cheneston's team 10 stars I would. Somehow 5 stars feels like a disservice. The food was absolutely delicious, I had ordered the steak (medium rare) and my partner the mushroom risotto which were cooked to perfection. Our mains were accompanied by three sides including Jersey Royal potatoes, Creamed Spinach and Ceaser Salad, all of which were again amazing. The service we received was exceptional, the restaurant manager and team were so attentive to the table and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the evening. I cannot recommend the restaurant and hotel highly enough. The best restaurant dining experience we have ever had.

Old English hotel vibe, white table cloths, attentive though ultimately suffocating service. Atmosphere a bit painful, quiet, stuffy, uncomfortable. Appetizers were great, steak was dreadful. Thin and badly cooked. I sent it back and got a duplicate of the poor quality. They graciously comped it and we made a hasty exit vowing never to return.

Superb... lovely lunch and location.. service great 🍽️

Прекрасный ужин. Невероятно английское обслуживание. Качество продуктов выше, чем во многих "Мишленах".

Three grand Victorian townhouses opened up and converted into a hotel in 1922 recently restored to a very high standard. The exquisitely appointed, dimly-lit restaurant is tucked away at the back of the ground floor. The playlist consists of Jazz Age standards. The raviolo was a bit chewy; the chicken pot pie rather watery; and the millefeuille impeccably presented, but impossible to dissect without a surgical scalpel. Service was supercilious and slow. Prices astronomical. Fellow diners all American - all hotel residents. Overall, a not unpleasant, if slightly odd and very expensive experience.

Nothing short of amazing. Everything was top notch.

We spent Easter Sunday at the restaurant and had an unforgettable time. Leo was a fantastic host and the food exceptional. A very special experience.

I do NOT enjoy writing negative reviews. I love writing positive reviews, but I made a reservation yesterday for tea today and canceled as soon as I I knew that friends would be back and available earlier than thought. I called early afternoon today hoping that I might be able to dine in the lovely Milestone lounge for lunch. The very polite woman who answered said that she would check with the dining staff. She did and advised that being at the hotel in 20 minutes would work for me to sit in the lounge for lunch. I arrived at the hotel exactly 20 minutes later. The woman with the reservations book said that she could not find my name and that I would need to sit in the lobby which I did. The same woman came to retrieve me. I asked where she was leading me and she said to the hotel bar. I explained that I did not like to sit in the hotel bar as it is dark and I explained exactly what had been said to me on the phone. A tall man with blondish grey hair then advised in a less than kind voice that there were tea reservations in the lounge at this time. I then advised him also of the information I had been told by phone. He then asked at exactly 1330 if I could be finished with lunch in one hour. I advised that I could be finished in one hour. The same man then asked in a less kind tone if I was certain that I could be finished in one hour. I advised at this time that I was not comfortable eating lunch at the hotel and was departing. I also advised that I has been treated rudely and that I was embarrassed. I did call after departing and spoke to the hotel front desk manager Tom and again explained all of the details above and advised that I wanted him to know these details in hopes that another hotel guest would not be treated in the same manner in the future. The hotel manager then advised that he understood I had been offered a seat in the bar. I then advised that I would again go through the details above which I did. The hotel manager then advised that he needed to confer with his staff as to the facts and that if I would leave my information that I could receive a call "tomorrow." I then advised the hotel manager that I did not need a call. I also advised that my previous experience as a hotel overnight guest at The Milestone had been very good but, that I would not be staying at the hotel in the future. I am very grateful that I have the impeccable Covent Garden Hotel and the elegant Mandarin to stay with during future visits to London.

Amazing service, design and atmosphere. tasting menu exceeded expectations.

We had a last minute cancellation on our restaurant booking nearby and managed to get a table at Cheneston's restaurant, the staff were extremely helpful and made us feel really special and to top it off all food and drink served was of excellent quality, will definitely be returning soon.

Thank you everyone who gave us great service last Friday. It was a fantastic experience and best restaurant experience we've had. Great food. And great service led by Leo. Thanks Leo and all your great team for a great evening. Kunal

Chenestons is a wonderful find! We couldn’t have had a more superb experience. Leo and Julia are really excellent – their customer service is outstanding. All the other staff were equally superb, warm and genuine, I didn’t catch their names. It really is a special place and I was so excited because some of my favourite music is Glenn Miller and Al Bowlly and this was gently playing in the background which enhances the 1930s and 40s feel of the place. I was in utter heaven! The food was wonderful. We had help choosing our wine and Leo understood exactly what we liked and what would match our food and he didn’t oversell or make us choose a really expensive bottle. We appreciated this very much. The cauliflower starter was exquisite as was my smoked salmon. My halibut was gorgeous and my fiancé’s chicken pie was perfect. We visited for lunch before the Proms that evening and it really was a day we will never forget. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to come back.

Food was less than mediocre. Beautiful setting. Attentive staff. Get a new chef?

One of best food from legend Bea Tollman.

Great service. We were very lucky and got a private room for the dinning. Food is good and the environment and service is 100! The starter scallop is a MUST to have!

My wife and I had the most fantastic lunch at Cheneston's. The restaurant was quiet, the food was perfect and the service was brilliant. I can't fault it for anything. The restaurant is now one of my wife's favourites.

We went for lunch/ afternoon tea on a weekday and it was an unexpected pleasure. We were greeted by friendly welcoming and friendly staff who took good care of us throughout. Hats off to our server, Avon, who was professional and attentive. The tea was wonderful and we especially loved the finger sandwiches. The price was good considering the posh location and quantity, quality and presentation of the food. The ambiance is cozy and charming with a view of Kensington Gardens. More people should know about this place. We will go back, possibly for dinner next time.

Wonderful experience; delicious food and the waiting staff could not have been more welcoming. HIghly recommended!

We had visited the Milestone Hotel for a private function so this was our first visit to the Cheneston. It is a lovely room and we enjoyed excellent service and a delicious food. In particular the Agnolotti with mushrooms and truffle as a starter and the pan fried Halibut were outstanding . I don’t believe that the restaurant is well known and it is well worth a visit

Wonderful period British architecture, old world courteous service. Delicious food - a great place for first timers in London who want to experience a slice of history. Staff are also wonderful - true silver service with Beatrice Tolleson's recipes - and even the family's own wines from their private estate in the Wineland area of South Africa.

My godmother and I came to this restaurant that looked beautiful online, the place was just as beautiful in person, the food was so lovely and the service was so warm. We had Paolo and Heidi serve our meal, they were so attentive, professional and kind. Thank you so much for the lovely evening.

A fabulous dining experience in every way! Intimate, atmospheric, attentive wait staff and a fine dining experience.

Cheneston's appears to have suffered badly from the lack of American visitors during the pandemic; only two tables occupied while we were there (9 people in total). This is a real shame as it is an excellent restaurant with high standards of food and service. From the moment you enter the Milestone hotel you are very well looked after. The small bar is very cosy (and does excellent martinis) and the restaurant is in a beautiful room with well-spaced tables and comfortable seating. Some might find the menu a little limited but my challenge was deciding what to have; in the end chose smoked salmon and rump of lamb. Very unimaginative you might say, but both prepared to the best standards imaginable. Puds are also to the same standard. Cheneston's isn't cheap, but in London would struggle to be beaten for that special occasion.

Visited for a birthday meal. Magnificent dining room, great service and the food is top class, some of the best we have eaten in London. Would definitely recommend.

I needed a restaurant in Kensington which would offer excellent food and, on this occasion, fast, efficient service because I was hosting the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea for lunch and we were on a tight schedule. Cheneston's Restaurant at The Milestone Hotel provided all of the above, plus elegant surroundings. The staff even quickly offered us hand towels on a sliver tray when we arrived so we could dry off – we had been drenched by a big rainstorm outside. Truly thoughtful, VIP service.

We enjoyed full breakfasts here multiple times during our stay. The food is excellent and the staff is attentive. Leo, the F&B Manager, delivers an excellent experience. The restaurant catered our picnic in Hyde Park making for memorable event!

We had sunday roast with friends at this restaurant and the food was lovely! Menu made of 3 plates, coffee, tea, desert and champagne for a very decent price! Impeccable service in a impressive premises. A must for London sunday roast experience.

Depuis bien longtemps ce restaurant me fait de l’œil mais y aller seule ne me tentait pas. Affaire réglé, j’y ai invité mon mari. Un vrais plaisir, très beau et surtout un personnel à la hauteur de mes attentes. Nous avons déjeuner un pie au poulet magnifique tout était parfait 👍🏼 voilà la cuisine anglaise à l’honneur dans ce restaurant magnifiquement conservé des années 30. Ce restaurant ce trouve dans l’hôtel Milestone. C’est pas donné mais une adresse à conserver. J’y retournerai !!!

這家餐廳主要是法國菜，但是也有意大利、地 中海和少部分英國菜等歐洲菜式的選擇。味道也是不錯，雖然價格不便宜，但是值得試試！

Cheneston's has a beautiful decor with old world charm, rich tables and chairs with table cloths. The staff is very good, as is the menu and food.

Came for drinks and lunch. It's an interesting and attractive interior, and the service couldn't be faulted - attentive and considerate. But the food was a real let down. My chicken noodle soup was so salty as to leave little other taste. My steak was dry and tasteless - ordered medium so it should have still contained plenty of juice. It comes just with chunky chips. Ordered roast vegetables to accompany, but these were soggy and reminded me of school dinners. The food is a huge disappointment and if you had been served this in a local pub at half the price, you would still be disappointed. I guess for many it's easy to be seduced by the surroundings and overlook the poor food.

Thanks Agustin for the wonderful service and the wonderful food. We love this place, great food and great style. We will be back next time we are in London.

Wonderful food and service, thanks Augustin. We will be back.

The Cheneston do a very reasonably priced two or three course Pre Theatre Dinner menu - perfect if you are going to a Prom at the Albert Hall. The dining room is really attractive, quiet and refined and you feel totally cocooned from the bustle of Kensington. The food was of a reasonable 'brasserie' standard with the plus of amazing bread and excellent service. Two very good prawn and crayfish cocktails to start were followed by a ribeye steak, and the chicken pot pie. The steak was fine but perhaps cooked a little more than the ordered medium rare. The chicken pot pie was a little disappointing. Pies really need to be well filled - but the individual pie dish was less than half filled with the flaky pastry topping sitting about 11/2 inched above the filling. Part of the attraction of a chicken pie is where the pastry is crisp on top but has absorbed some of the cream sauce underneath. A smaller pie dish might have done the trick! The following is an observation and NOT a complaint as we did the ordering: Two pre dinner Aperol Spritz (we didn't know the price), a half bottle of Pouilly Fuisse, one glass of excellent Tuscan red wine and a bottle of water sent our bill to nearly £190.00. The set menus were £35.00 each and we paid a supplement for the steak. These are prices that you would expect in a quality 5star hotel in London but to whoever might like to try the same Pre Theatre menu just be aware that the bill really can so easily escalate if you are drinking alcohol as well.

Excellent meal and excellent service

A pesar de que nuestro itinerario en Londres era limitado, nos gustaron las reseñas de Trip Advisor y hicimos reservaciones para Cheneston en la noche que tuvimos una noche especial solo para nosotros dos. Nos alojamos tres noches en el Milestone, desayunamos y tomamos el té de la tarde. Nada decepcionado. Gracias Milestone por una estancia fabulosa y una agradable y especial velada en Cheneston. !

Perfect in every way. The staff were very attentive, and we felt very special. The food was marvelous and overall it was a very good occasion.

Mi esposo y yo nos hospedamos en el Milestone por tres noches este mes y cenamos allí tres veces. Hemos sido asiduos en el Milestone cada mes de julio durante varios años, nos encanta el ambiente y la amabilidad de sus empleados. La comida es excelente, pero creo que este año fue el mejor que he comido allí. El dúo de salmón ahumado, inglés e irlandés, tallado en la mesa con todos los adornos, estaba delicioso. La comida en el carrito estaba hermosamente cocinada en los días subsiguientes, comimos pollo asado, cordero y cerdo. Esta es una comida tradicional, muy bien cocinada y servida con mucho cariño.Mientras esté allí, pruebe algunos de sus propios vinos, el rojo Galpin Peak es excepcional, al igual que su blanco Walker Bay. No es barato, sino toda una experiencia.No tengo conexión con el Milestone, pero Barry y yo nos encantan y no nos alojaríamos en ningún otro lugar de Londres.

Opulent surroundings, exquisite food and professional service. Highly recommended.

Fue nuestra última noche en Londres y no creo que pudiera haber encontrado una mejor experiencia para terminar nuestro viaje. El restaurante está ubicado en el histórico Milestone Hotel, frente al lado sur de Hyde Park. La comida y el servicio eran geniales. Disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra comida. El bar del hotel es bastante especial también! ! !

Attentive service, very good food and wines. An excellent pianist/singer for the first part of our meal, wish she had carried on longer. Comfortable chairs and pleasant surroundings. All staff we met very helpful and friendly

Aún así, el ÚNICO lugar para venir a lo largo de High Street Kensington para disfrutar de una comida bien preparada y presentada con un servicio atento, ¡solo tiene la carne de venado para demostrarlo! !

Ambiance was great and very friendly service. Our dover sole was served a bit cold. Linguine was not special as expected.

This place is incredible! They take care of you and make you feel like the only people in the room and the food was impeccable. The Manager Paolo was wonderful and made sure to keep our dinner on track so we would make our show in time. We will definitely be back!!!

Staff couldn’t wait for us to leave. Rude.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice restaurant and food is superb but it's still one of that restaurant's where you pay the name not the food. Steak was great as it should be for the price.

We enjoyed two wonderful dinners at Cheneston's during our stay in London. The setting is authentic. The wait staff so attentive without rushing us through the meal. The food was fabulous.

Aunque el lugar es bastante agradable y el servicio era bueno, pero nada especial con el desayuno. He ordenado aplastar aguacate con bolsas de huevo, pero no tenía sabor.

the food is excellent and beautifully presented.The proper Sunday Roast under the silver dome and carved at table was wonderful.

Este encantador restaurante británico tenía un servicio impecable y una excelente comida. Me encantó el bistec y las verduras y mi amigo tenía el "carrito", que era una gran porción de codorniz. El servicio fue sacarte los calcetines.

Me encanta este lugar, siempre estoy impresionado con lo que pueden hacer sin gluten. Una gran selección de panes g / f y casi cualquier elemento del menú se realiza g / f para mí. Y en el bar, Posh Fish Figers tiene que ser uno de mis favoritos.

Superbe établissement! Le Chic londonnien, décor classique, mets excellents, service de haut niveau sans être hautain. Parfait!

Très bel endroit ,élégant sobre et raffiné. Accueil impeccable et service efficace , très serviable et professionnel . Très bon dîner avec un cocktail de crevettes suivi des crevettes Strogonoff et d’un très bon dessert . Nous reviendrons pour goûter la Sole ,spécialité de la maison.

Just really the most delicious Beef Wellington we've ever experienced, served in the beautiful surrounds of Cheneston's Restaurant with the most attentive service. Thanks all around for a memorable evening.

Five star service and five star food, accommodated my food allergy (Gluten Free) with speciality breads and pastries, a credit to the chef.

First class dining in the lovely Milestone Hotel. We had a memorable late dinner after a full day of travel and final check in. The staff were most attentive and professional, the menu filled with tempting unique preparations of traditional British tiems, and a unique, interesting wine list - new wines to try! Service was perfect, as was our dinner by fireside in a most elegant and “Old World” , yet intimate setting. Loved it truly!

Sin duda este es el mejor restaurante de alta calidad que he tenido el placer de cenar en Londres.

Mezcla interesante, tuvimos el menú como parte de una oferta de estancia.

We had a memorable dinner in Cheneston's. There was nothing to fault in our experience. Food, service, atmosphere -- all were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Small and intimate dining room - great food, excellent menu and service amazing. Highly recommend it especially after a day of traveling.

La cucina inglese non eccelle, è servito Gordon Ramsey per darle lustro, ma sempre di più si nota che il miglior investimento fatto dai ristoranti di alto livello a Londra è dare la gestione della loro cucina tradizionale a cuochi di nazioni con grande tradizione culinaria.

Piacevole, ottima la qualità, personale gentile e meticoloso. Lo consigliamo molto! e ci torneremo sicuramente.

We ended up getting back from a business event extremely late. 10 in attendance and the hotel opened the kitchen for us to serve a fabulous dinner.

El Mejor Hotel Boutique, la ubicación, el personal y la comida. Nuestra familia viven cerca de este hotel en Kensington y pudimos celebrar con nosotros. Por favor gracias el jefe de recepción, Nick, el portero, Frank y todo el personal por su amabilidad hacia toda la Ainbinder needham y los miembros de la familia. Esperamos volver en el futuro.

My son and wife thoroughly enjoyed afternoon tea at the Milestone Hotel. Wide assortment of savory and sweet treats, and large selection of teas.

Todo está hecho exactamente en moderna. El filete de wagyu es suntuoso y los asados de día que ofrece siempre es deliciosa. Comer aquí es un placer.

Fuimos un viernes almuerzo en este hermoso restaurante pequeño en el hotel milestone. Nos dieron la bienvenida en nuestro servidor que nos cuidó perfectamente durante toda nuestra comida con un gran servicio que era amable y no demasiado formal. Antes de nuestra orden era trajo nos dieron un amuse bouche que era una sopa deliciosa en una taza de café expreso broccolli.

This tiny little restaurant in the Milestone Hotel is home to some of the most outstanding dining in the area. Most hotel restaurants are overpriced and frankly don't deliver in quality. Chef Diamantis prepares an unforgettable meal using the finest in locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. The dining room itself is intimate and elegant, which would be ideal for a romantic or special dinner. The wait staff is exactly what you would expect in this caliber of restaurant. We had the Dover sole after multiple recommendations and we too would suggest you consider this perfectly prepared dish. Though the menu changes seasonally, this dish is never rotated out. That should speak for itself. Seek out this gem for your special dining experience. Reservations are a must, particularly on weekends.

I live on the same street as the gorgeous Milestone Hotel so it is a convenient place for me to pop into. The Cheneston's is everything you would expect: lovely, atmospheric, traditional, grand British setting with classic menu items and a very interesting and well-priced wine list. I went for lunch on a not very busy weekend but was let down a touch by the service, which was not as polished and discreet as I would have hoped. Otherwise, great experience.

We had a pre-theater dinner here, prior to Classical Spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall. (walking distance) They got us in and out under a time constraint but that wasnt the most impressive part. My daughter is not only gluten intolerance, but also dairy intolerant. They brought her a basket of her own GF/DF breads and homemade crackers, but also pulled up a trolly of artisan olive oils for her to choose from to dip them in. (I had amazing breads and a selection of butters) They customized a risotto (DF) for her that she gobbled up and I had the Turbot which was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had...and I'm from the Pacific NW. The service was, if possible, above 5 star. The food was on par with our James Beard award winners. They had simple comfort foods like a chicken pot pie, all the way to my Turbot in a cream sauce. This small, intimate, wonderful little gem is worth every penny and time to seek it out. I highly recommend reservations, because its small.

a\$\$ Думаю что это один из лучших отелей в Лондоне. Исторический отель, антикварная мебель, обслуживание на пять с плюсом! Мы сюда пришли не жить, а чай пить! Еле уползли, так налопались вкусностей, которые к чаю подаются. Сэндвичи, пирожные, сконы, клубника с

The surroundings, service and food were very good for our visit. It was a pity that we were the only diners in the restaurant - which was surprising for a Thursday evening.My wife is coelliac and gluten free bread is often unpleasant. Not here where a wonderful selection of gluten free bread was provided. Amuse bouches were appreciated. The food was well cooked, although portions were on the small size and wine was very expensive.Perhaps that is why the restaurant was empty. Lower prices and larger portions would, I am sure, bring in the diners as the setting is romantic and impressive.

Service was slow and staff not attentive. We had the pre Theatre menu and it was awful. It is such a shame as it is a lovely place.

Historic decor, very rich interiors. Cosy dining area, very private, very good service. Would recommend.

I took a lady friend to supper at Chenestons in the Milestone prior to going to the Royal Albert HallThe atmosphere and feel of the bar and restaurant were fabulous Old England. The bar and restaurant staff were absolutely brilliant, and our cocktails excellentBut oh dear, the food ! We had whetted our appetites from the sample menu on the website - and one accepts that it is only a sample. But when we were handed the evening menu the choice, for a "fine dining" restaurant, was sooo limited - nothing like the sample on the site. We ended up with boring prawn cocktail and equally unexciting chicken pie - which wasn't up to the standard of my local pub and 2-3 x the price. It could have been sooo good!

It was late on a Monday evening in January so we practically had the restaurant to ourselves. We were delighted to be offered "English" dishes on the menu (why do most London hotels insist on serving foreign dishes?) and the wine list was both extensive and sensibly priced. Service was impeccable, food very good and also well priced, considering all of the little extras provided. My only criticism was the inclusion of a so-called "discretionary Service Charge" on the bill. I really think that a restaurant of this calibre should be able to rely on the profile of its likely clientelle to do the right thing when it comes to rewarding good service.

Eén van de beste culinaire geneugten dat Londen te bieden heeft. Geen "nouvelle cuisine" noch "labo-keuken" maar absolute topkwaliteit van gerechten, bereidingswijzen, service. We zochten naar een minpunt maar nee hoor, geen enkel zwak punt. Het personeel is uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De prijzen zijn zeer redelijk voor dergelijke hoogstaande kwaliteit. De sfeer in het restaurant is heel traditioneel en is uiterst gezellig. We gaan zeker nog terug, misschien ook nog eens overnachten. Proficiat MILESTONE

I've been always curious about the Cheneston's for years whenever I passed by the Milestone Hotel. For anniversary dinner, I decided to dine here. Its interior and decor are like from Victorian ear and all preparation was done in such a way that one might have felt like slipping back to the era. Unique menu and fine selection of beverage certainly enhanced the experience. Special place for special occasion.

comi varias noches aca y puedo decir que fue siempre una experiencia inolvidable. Sus pescados son deliciosos, su pasta es muy buena, y la calidad de sus postres tambien. muy recomendable

What a stylish and sophisticated restaurant. The ambience is beautiful and elegant, the service is excellent, and the food is delicious. My girlfriends and I were seated at a corner table we really appreciated as we had asked for privacy. The atmosphere was lovely and subdued, perfect for our catch-up. We had the three course offer and a nice bottle of wine with it and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. We will definitely go again.

Wonderfully romantic setting for a delicious pre-theater dinner. The bar is a hidden gem tucked away from the busy street that fronts the hotel.

The Cheneston's is the restaurant of the wonderful Milestone Hotel. As you enter the hotel, woodwork and decor give the impression of going back in time and indicate you will have great time there.We went there for dinner and choose the menu proposed for the London Restaurant Festival week. All the meals were excellent and well presented. We were the only customers in the restaurant room but the staff was attentive and friendly.The only sour note... overpriced coffees !!!

I had a nice 6-course meal at the Cheneston's during my stay in London. I asked on the spot if they could accommodate my gluten free needs and they did it--with the bread, the side dishes and the dessert. I also love that they have the old-school finger brush in the ladies room.

Dined here as a aprty of four before going to an event at the Royal Albert Hall.The hotel is situated less that 10 minutes walk from the RAH.The restauarant was offering a special fixed price meal as part of the London Restaurant Festival during October and we were offered two courses for £21 or three for £26.The restaurant is plush and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive but not intrusive.All three courses were extremely good. Portions were not over large but were perfectly adequate and extremely tasty.The fixed price menu was limited to three choices in each course but this was not a problem.The wine list however was very expensive with the cheapest bottle of wine being £31.Overall a very good fine dining experience and well worth a visit.

Lovely food & attentive service, great deco.Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet & romantic spot!

Cheneston's - гарантия качества во всём! Здесь всё по Станиславскому, потому что начинается буквально "с вешалки": если вы пришли чуть раньше остальной компании, вам предложат посидеть в холле ресторана (разумеется, предложат аперитив), и вдруг вы услышите звуки живой музыки - это почти незаметно для вас на фортепьяно будет играть тапёр!!! Ресторан там небольшой, все столы довольно обособленны, свет приглушён, атмосфера комфорта и спокойствия. Вы здесь точно отдохнёте от городской суеты, пообщаетесь в приватной обстановке и получите превосходное обслуживание и отличную еду, что бы вы ни заказали. Официанты с удовольствием дадут вам рекомендации, если вы колеблетесь. Но самое главное и большое удовольствие в том, что всё это будет происходить очень ненавязчиво, естественно, благородно, как в поговорке про китайского императора: китайцы считают самым лучшим императором того, кого они не замечают. Этот ресторан - один из немногих "китайских императоров", который даёт полное ощущение комфорта и чувства естественной среды.

We stayed at the Milestone Hotel (which clearly deserves its five stars) and out of exhaustion, ate at the Cheneston, instead of venturing out to explore the neighborhood as we usually do. What a treat! Downton Abbey atmosphere as a previous reviewer mentioned. We had the roast of the day, in this case, probably the best roasted chicken we've ever had. They wheel it out and cut it at your table. At GBP 27 at this upscale of a restaurant, we thought that to be very reasonable. Service was impeccable (but the place was not very busy.) It's served with two kinds of potatoes, both of them delicious, and a healthy portion of vegetables as well.

Elegant atmosphere, very attentive waitstaff, and magnificent food. A worthy choice for a special occasion!

Did not stay at the Milestone...we wanted to but was not in our budget, perhaps next trip! Anyway, we had breakfast there one morning. Was lovely! Buffet was offered, included in the price also ordering of menu for a hot breakfast. Was not cheap, but great. Service was outstanding & friendly server.

Cheneston is apparently the original name that morphed into "Kensington." The waiter (not a "server" or a "wait person") suggested that my wife and I share the "rather large" portion of Dover Sole. It was simply superb. And it was the first time in my life that a 5 Star restaurant suggested "sharing." The sommelier, unlike his American performance artist counterparts actually knew of what he was speaking, and his choices were equally knowledgeable. A satisfying experience to say the least.

Like stepping into another era. Old elegance, like Downton Abbey. Lovely ambience, place settings, very traditional, yet friendly (not stuffy) service. We were staying at the hotel so we appreciated the convenience for breakfast and dinner. The full morning buffet was sumptuous (cold meats, cheeses, pastries) and Eggs Benedict cooked to order. Dinner was simple yet refined: we ordered specialities that were also comfort food (Chicken Noodle soup with chicken-stuffed puff pastry; Chicken Pot Pie).

Great tea and sandwiches, especially the chicken one with nuts. Fab service from Magda!!! Thank u! /Maria och Anna, Sweden

We enjoyed 2 evenings having dinner in!After walking all day, we decided to try our hotel restaurant. We were not disappointed and even retuned another night. Service was superb and our selections were superb: from the classic Caesar to an espresso crime brûlée. An excellent bottle of Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand complemented our sole ( we split the sole and it was the perfect amount. Cream of cauliflower soup, and fresh breads complimentary.Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great selection of unique sandwiches like salmon and egg as well as tasty sweets. My favorite was the cheesecake.

After more than a dozen trips to the UK and dozens of outstanding and memorable meals, I would say Cheneston's was the best meal I've ever had here. The menu had so many unique and attractive options it was hard to choose what to order. We tried four different appetizers and all were excellent, with the Bea's Eggs Royale unlike anything I've ever had. The Chopped Sirloin, Chicken Pot Pie, Duck, and Piri Piri Chicken entrees were all outstanding. The range of desserts was also tremendous and each was a gem--especially loved the honeycomb ice cream! We also just loved the small unexpected extras-- a small taste of pea soup, plum sorbet palate cleanser, selection of chocolate truffles at the end. Every bite of every dish was delicious. The service was also every bit as outstanding as the food, and the room was beautiful-- we sat in a small window alcove. A truly unforgettable dining experience! Cheneston's will be my first dinner whenever I visit London.

L'endroit est vraiment superbe, le personnel aux petits soins ! Le petit coin sur la droite en rentrant est magique, privé, gothique, j'étais seule mais en couple cela doit e^tre so romantic !!!

Beautiful food, beautifully presented and served with care and kindness. A little expensive, especially the wine, but worth every penny and more.

We had an early breakfast here about two years ago--needing sustenance and not wanting to partake of that provided by our perfectly-adequate B&B in Queensway across the Park, one winter's morning--and a return visit was therefore in order. Then, all was as if the clock had stood still--starched napiery, old hotel plate silver, a proper full (and I mean FULL) English breakfast in a dining room with a cheerful fire in the grate. NOW, and I am happy to report, all was as if the clock still stands still in those good ways: a welcoming greeting, excellent service, plush surroundings, and the expected full English, in those surroundings and level of service which somehow manages to survive. Of course you pay the price (is £26.50 exorbitant, I don't know?). I think, as a special treat, it is well worth it. Impressive for those of us who are nostalgic--and a certain age--and impressive for overseas visitors (my treat for them) and much appreciated. Well done, Cheneston's.

We did enjoy our evening but the service was very slow and the food and drink very expensive.

Lovely meal in beautiful surroundings served by very informative and pleasant professional staff. Delicious food
